The Ultimate Dream The Ultimate Dream A dream is defined in the Webster’s New World Dictionary as: a fanciful vision of the conscious mind; a fond hope or aspiration; anything so lovely, transitory, etc. as to seem dreamlike. In the book, The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby has the ultimate idealistic dream that was later disintegrated. Jay Gatsby is a crook and a bootlegger who involves himself with some rather shady characters. He committed crimes in order to achieve a rich lifestyle. Ironically, he didn’t work hard for himself but for Daisy, his ultimate dream. Daisy represents a dreamlike, heavenly presence, which was all that Gatsby devoted his life to. Daisy was the one girl that every girl wanted to be like and every guy wanted to be with. For Daisy, money was everything. That was the factor that made Daisy unattainable to Gatsby, earlier in the novel. As Daisy saw it, “rich girls don’t marry poor boys.” So, Daisy left Gatsby and married someone richer. Poor old Gatsby was heartbroken and would do anything to her back. It was then that Gatsby sought to become a self-made millionaire and became absolutely faithful in his vision of changing the past gatsby, daisy, dream, think, wanted, husband, thing, out, just, high, even, didn’t, absolutely, ultimate, time, something, rich, one, money, lover, love, killed, couldn’t, became, woman, vision, turned, tom, tell, shot, said, reached, prize, poor, myrtle’s
