F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby (Chapter VI) lyrics
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
"I never loved you"(Fitzgerald,109).
Showing how Gatsby just wants the affection of Daisy. A common movie trope is that when a character is jealous of another, the first will do anything to get what he/she wants. If Gatsby moves on these urges he will certainly be no better than the lying Nick. Perhaps watching the corruption of Gatsby is a parallel with the corruption of the American government or government in general. Watching a man go from honorable, courageous, and humble into a selfish rich prick was truly the American way corrupting our idea of a perfect America or our ideals of American life.
