The main character, Jay Gatsby, is an individual who works to amass his fortune by bootlegging and black markets. His entire lifes work is built upon advancing his own fortune in the hopes of catching the eye of the love of his life. Daisy Buchanan, a married woman, has been the sole prize in Gatsbys eyes on his way up. Daisy is a woman who was born into a wealthy and priveleged family. Her life is centered around long standing traditions and histories. To Gatsby, she has seemed unattainable yet worth the wait and struggle. When Gatsby finally reached what he thinks to be "her level" he plans to woo her away from her marraige and into his arms.
Daisy has her fun with Gatsby in their affair which lasted a short time. But when she was finished, her true colors shone through. She was comfortable in her social class and felt that Gatsby's wealth, amassed in bootlegging, was not proper enough for her long standing ideals of what wealth was.
Jay Gatsby worked his whole life to reach a level of wealth and prosperity to reach the level of a woman whom he loved. In the end his life was destroyed trying to reach the unattainable goal due to his lack of a wealthy, prominent background.
