The American Dream can be described as an idea, a concept, and a way of life. It can also be described as a form of ignorance. According to SinišaSmiljanić, some say that it is the pursuit of wealth, prosperity and higher social status. Others think it basically means having a good life, settling down and being able to provide for your family. All of these ideas can be credited to the fundamental idea of ​​the American dream. Robert L. Pearson summarizes the American Dream as the belief that anyone can achieve their goals, no matter whether they are political, monetary, or social. Most people, however, see the American dream as strictly materialistic. If you were, or are, one of those who feel this way, you believe that if you don't have the fanciest clothes, the fastest cars, or the fanciest house, you simply aren't living the American dream. This materialistic aspect completely ignores happiness, family and moral values. It's also what Fitzgerald seems to focus on most with The Great Gatsby. In the novel, the main character, Jay Gatsby, definitely lives the American dream in the sense of materialism. He has never been seen wearing less than the best clothes, and even seeing his shirts made his love interest, Daisy, cry. “They are such beautiful shirts…I have never seen such beautiful shirts” (Fitzgerald, p. 98). His mansion was described as similar to the World's Fair when he was throwing one of his exciting parties. Although the only information Fitzgerald gives us about Gatsby's car is that it was a Rolls Royce (p. 35), this is enough to tell us that he had no shortage of "faster cars." As for the core ideas of the American Dream, Jay Gatsby only covered a few of them. He is certainly rich and prosperous. And if the fact that he can organize a party, involve the entire city and repeat it every weekend without ever being seen doesn't scream "high sociability”
