A classic American tragedy. Gatsby is a character who pines, not for love as it truly exists, but for an idealized, raw version of it—one born from his ambitions within the American Dream. His devotion to Daisy is less about who she is in the present, but rather more about what she represents: success, fulfillment, and the validation of his self-made identity. Blinded by this dream, Gatsby is unable to accept the truth of time clinging instead to a desperate desire to return to the past and reclaim a moment that can never be restored. In doing so, he reveals how the pursuit of an imagined love, rooted in illusion rather than reality, ultimately leads to his undoing.
