F. Scot Fitzgerald critiques the idea of the american dream (like many other classic authors) through the situations of the characters. Jay Gatsby is able to acquire an enormous amount of wealth throughout his life, but he is unable to penetrate the upper class. he ends up being killed after tangling in that crowd for too long possibly mention the context of the 20s. a tumultuous time following WW1, increase in immigration as well as women's rights and the massive economic boom. (with the crash looming in 1929) there was a belief that anyone could 'strike it rich' like Gatsby did. George and myrtle Wilson were middle class people looking to improve their life, and achieve the american dream daisy is the ultimate, perfect example of the american dream. the darkest secret at the end, Gatsby's wealth didn't come from work, it came from a life of crime. Fitzgerald is basically saying american dream is actually a lost promise. also underlying greed strewn throughout the novel, and affairs which tear couples apart.
quote:
'But I didn't call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone--he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock.'
very key symbol of the green light, and Gatsby reaching out to something (the american dream) that he cannot acquire.

SHORT VERSION: There is no smoke without fire is a proverb or saying which explains about some rumours or assumptions.
Above saying explains that as smoke won't be liberated unless there is presence of fire any rumor or news wont get spread without any initiative.
So behind any rumor the will be a chance of truth in most of the cases.
LONGER VERSION: As the saying goes, "there's no smoke without fire", it is rue to say that there is always some truth to whatever has bee implied. This is used majorly in the case of spreading rumors or some events though without the presence of any evidence to prove it.
When anything is implied, but there is no proof whatsoever, it is safe to assume that there is some truth to whatever has been implied. Once a person says something like an accusation or even a false rumor or implication, there must be some truth behind it for the rumor to start. If someone implied that he heard someone tell about an upcoming market fair, it can be implied that he got the information from somewhere else or he wouldn't have just come up with the knowledge by himself. he heard someone say something about it and then decided to tell someone else and thus help spread the information. Though he did not possess any evidence or proof of the fair, there is some truth behind it. Just like smoke cannot come or be made by itself and requires a fire to get smoke, there is always some truth behind any accusation or rumor.
