immigrants were poor and the notion of the American Dream promised hope,

shows that there is still inequality and social discrimination as in the
car-reselling scene between Tom and Wilson. Jay Gatsby is filled with hope to
win the love of his life Daisy through this new kind of American Dream. He
struggled hard to attain the status of the upper class. However, it failed
