The main conflict that happens in this story is between Jay Gatsby, Daisy and Tom. Daisy and Tom are married together. Daisy knew Gatsby years before she met Tom and they were madly in love, until Gatsby had to go away for years. Daisy had then met Tom and they got married.
Ever since 1917 when Gatsby met Daisy Fay in Louisville, he has formulated this envisioned future of perfection and extravagance with her. The problem is however, Jay Gatsby was born from a different social class and this would have prevented the Fay’s to accept his proposal to take Daisy as his wife. Thus, Gatsby strived towards this vision by accumulating wealth in order to replace his original background and status. However, his mysterious past still manages to prevent his love to please and capture the affections of the upper-class Daisy Buchanan.
