The Great Gatsby and the American dream?

Question

Any helpful websites that would discuss the Great Gatsby and the American Dream? Particulary how characters in the book view it.
Many thanks!

Answer 1

No websites, but how about a few ideas?
Tom is born into wealth
Daisy does nothing but wealthy men fall all over her
Myrtle is willing to dump her hard working faithful husband for a philandering two timing racist abusive man ... but he is wealthy
Jordan will lie and cheat, to get ahead, and does
Wolfsheim is a gambler and is successful
Gatsby is in dream land, has no skills, but he becomes wealthy by dealing drugs and booze
Nick is gay but hangs around women, he thinks if he just watches somehow he isn't responsible
George is hard working and faithful, but all it gets him is grief, a dead wife, and a bullet in his head

Answer 2

This is an incredible book that should be read, not cheated on. It's not that long. Try reading it and maybe you will learn something.
