’s wealth immediately fascinates Daisy that she cries, “it makes me sad because I’ve never seen such – such beautiful shirts before”(司各特•菲茨杰拉德(著),巫宁坤,唐建清(译), 1998,1: 254) And Gatsby himself also feels that Daisy’s voice is full of money when she sees such a beautiful villa, and she is so happy to touch the costly furniture in his room.

In a common sense, they should be together and live a better life which consists of love and money ever after.
However, things come to a break while Daisy and Tom drop a hint to the husband of Myter---Mr. Wellson, that the yellow car belongs to Gatsby after Gatsby has protected Daisy from the accident successfully, and in the early morning, Gatsby is murdered by Mr. Wellson mistakenly. In such a case, Daisy doesn’t feel any regret or sadness; instead she leaves for another city to have her honey month with his husband Tom. In Daisy’s eyes, the only thing she can see is money, the person who has more money will win her love easier. But Gatsby’s American Dream and all the things he takes great pains to achieve is to win Daisy’s love, so it is doomed to be a failure the time when his property doesn’t mean anything to Daisy.
According to the love between Gatsby and Daisy, it is easy to claim that wealth is the basis of love, and without money, there is no love.
B. Connection Between love and Money in Reality
Money is a kind of currency and a tool for exchange. The period without goods exchange is not long in the history, and such a period is just the most immature, and which develops very slowly. And the pace of development becomes much faster after the appearance of currency and exchange. It is reasonable to claim that money is the basis of the human development, and love in reality is only a small part of human society, and it is closely connected with money, too.
In the article named “For Love or For Money?” (阿金耶米, 1999,8: 253) An elderly man on the beach found a magic lamp. He picked it up and a genie appeared. “Because you have freed me,” the genie said. “I will grand you a wish.” The man thought for a moment and then responded, “My brother and I had a fight 30 years ago and he hasn’t spoken to me since. I wish that he’ll finally forgive me.” There was thunderclap, and the genie declared, “Your wish has been granted, you know,” the genie continued, “most men would have asked for wealth or fame. But you only wanted the love of your brother. Is it because you are old and dying? ” . “No way!” the man cried. “But my brother is, and he’s worth about 60 million.”
The story means that many people attach more importance to money than to love. It is his brother he does like that, not mention his lover, who is not his kin and knows each other not so well at all. As for Gatsby’s love for Daisy, it is obviously based on the wealth of the family which Daisy was born. From Chapter Six of the novel The Great Gatsby, we know “he knew women early…since they spoiled him, he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant, of others because they were hysterical about things”. In fact, the real reason that Gatsby doesn’t fall in love with any one of them is that they were not born in a rich family and have to work hard all day only to maintain their livelihood. On the contrary, Daisy belongs to the upper class, and she always lives a life with enough luxuriant materials. If Gatsby chooses the former, he may spend all his life time in hard work, but if he chooses the rich girl Daisy, he will live a better life as Daisy lives. Every human being has an eager to live a better life, and Gatsby is also an ordinary people, there is no reason for him to give up a better life but live a hard life with the poor girl.
It is quite appropriate to declare that money is the foundation of love. As a matter of fact, money is the safeguard of love. The time when one has love, he may not want money, and even has a thought that there is nothing more important than love, including money. But such a sort of feeling will just keep for a short time because in everyone’s life there are a plenty of things need to be done and almost all the things must be achieved with the help of money. If two people have gotten married, while they don’t have the money which is necessary to support a family, how about their love? They must have the material condition to survive, they will have baby in the future, and then how can they give their child a normal life? How can they give the money the child needs in school? Meanwhile, they must give some money to their parents, who are too old to work, to support their life. If they don’t have enough money, how can they do all the things, which are the basis for living? And how can they give their lover a better life?
Without money, there is no possibility for anyone to support a family, not mention to be in love with someone for a long time. Two people, falling in love with each other, whatever they intend to marry or not, must do something to keep their love. They may go to the cinema together, go traveling abroad for a holiday, buy each other a gift occasionally, etc. And after they have gotten marred, they must not only cost money for their love, but also spend a large amount of money to have a normal family life. In this case, money is the most important thing in one’s life, and love is based on money inevitably. For every one of human beings, only if one wants to survive one more day, he must have much more money. As Kludia points out that living cannot be separated from money, and love is connected with money closely because love is only a component of one’s life. (克罗蒂亚•罗思•皮埃罗庞, 2004,7: 3)
The love between Gatsby and Daisy in the novel has a close relationship with money inevitably. If Daisy was not born in a rich family, it is impossible for Gatsby to fall in love with her. On the other hand, if Gatsby doesn’t lie to Daisy that he is rich enough to support her an extravagant life, Daisy would not have fallen in love with him, either. While Gatsby have much money from illegal trades, and he can give Daisy a better life easily, Daisy falls in love with him again. Actually, the real thing Daisy love is the wealth Gatsby now has and the luxuriant life he can offer. And Daisy will not fall in love with Gatsby if Gatsby now is a poor soldier as before.
In sum, their love is based on money, and material needs are the premise of their love. It is the truth that it needs money for everyone to have daily life, and if one wants to live a better life, it needs more money. In reality, nobody can live without money, and everyone must have more money to get the love from another. In other words, money cannot buy true love, but there is no love without enough wealth
.
Conclusion
It is believed that everybody wishes to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live a single day without money. So, it is reasonable to claim that there is a close relationship between love and money while love is only a component of life.
This thesis chooses the novel The Great Gatsby as the main material. It aims at analyzing the relationship between love and money in reality according to the break of Gatsby’s American Dream. In the previous chapters, we first have an overview of the writer Fitzgerald and the background he lived. Then by the comparison of the American Dream in different social and historical backgrounds, we have a general knowledge of American Dream in the special period that Gatsby lives. Thus comes to the conclusion that love in reality is closely connected with money through the analysis of Gatsby’s American Dream and the reason it breaks.
In the novel, if Daisy was not born in a rich family, it is impossible for Gatsby to fall in love with her. On the other hand, if Gatsby doesn’t lie to Daisy that he is rich enough to afford her a better life, Daisy would not have been in love with him, either. Through illegal trade of alcohol, Gatsby becomes a millionaire and he can give Daisy an extravagant life easily. And Daisy falls in love with him again. However, the time Gatsby is murdered mistakenly, and all his wealth doesn’t mean anything to Daisy ever after, Daisy, with her husband, goes traveling happily. As Yu Dan points out, it means that Gatsby’s American Dream is broken. (Yu Dan, 2006, 4:3)There is nothing left to him, and he doesn’t win Daisy’s love till the end of his life.
Zhang Tianjing points out that the reason for the fall of Gatsby’s American Dream is that their love is based money, and material needs are the premise of their love. (Zhang Tianjing, 2004, 3:2)It is the money Gatsby has that Daisy really loves. Actually, it is the truth that money is necessary to the life of every human being; without money, no one can live a normal life any one day, and it needs more money to live a better life.
Therefore, based on the analysis above we can reach at a conclusion that love and money in reality has a close relationship.
