To be successful is to be respected, loved, admired, and it is to be able to support your family without struggle. Wanting money is doing whatever it takes to achieve that financial goal, even if that means hurting the people you love and care for the most. It means giving up everything you are passionate about, just because you do not think it will bring in enough money. Jay Gatsby is the definition of using money to try to be happy. He is a very wealthy and liked man around his town.
He tried to obtain wealth through hard work but when that failed, he pursued a life of underground crime. Jay only had one goal in life, and he was not going to let anything or anyone get in his way. He was born into a dirt-poor, farming family. As a young boy, Jay, also known as James Gatz, was well disciplined and worked hard to become a better person. As a young man, Jay signed up to fight in World War I. During training he met a rich girl named Daisy who was going to change his life forever. He quickly fell in love with her, but he knew that he was not wealthy enough to marry into such an upscale family. Instead of attempting to make a great and successful life for himself, he worked diligently trying to become a person he thought could be worthy enough to make Daisy happy. Daisy was a girl who was born into money and never worked for anything she had. Gatsby said, “Her voice is full of money.” She spoke as if she was royalty. For some reason, Gatsby thought if he worked hard enough and became rich, he could win her love. Jay Gatsby is the ultimate rags to riches story. He was not content with the person he was because who he really was could not get him the love he desired. He started talking and acting like an old rich friend he once worked for.

As humans, we are too diverse in the way we think and develop, lending the mere classification of an internal motivation to become redundant. Furthermore, as Scott Fitzgerald, the humble ideals of the American dream described in the Declaration of independence becomes completely radicalized by the corrupt vision of wealth in the U.S. during the 1920s. Instead of focusing on the equality for humanity and the inalienable rights of man, the American dream shifted to how much wealth you were entitled to by the end of your life. Jay Gatsby, one of the main characters of the novel, is consumed by a drive to become wealthy in order to regain the love of his life. He acquires a relentless urge to become wealthy, to the point where his actions and motives are dictated by money.
