Conclusion

Through the analysis of these major main characters in the novel The Great Gatsby, we find that the fundamental theme of this novel isn't so much about specifics of people and classes but rather about the desires, dreams, fantasies and utopias that we all strive to attain and achieve in life but that in reality are just fabricated happiness through wealth, materialism, and idolatry.. The truth in that no matter how hard and how hard people look to their green light and how much effort is put into achieving an ideal, at the end of the day chasing that green light isn't chasing something very meaningful at all. We as people over exaggerate and make ideals bigger than what they are, leading to an endless chase for a dream that we will never reach.
