F. Scott Fitzgerald’s legendary novel “The Great Gatsby” acts as a nuanced commentary on the fallacies and truths of love.

Jay Gatsby’s unending fascination for Daisy—which he refers to as “love”—borders an obsession. This obsession is what drove him to become more than just a poor man through any means possible, which ultimately leads him to being a wealthy person.
