The American Dream in Citizen Kane and The Great Gatsby

The United States is the most powerful and wealthy country in the world. Diversity of class, personality, religion, and ethnicity is part of the rich content of our "crucible" in our society. In modern countries, the integration of these diversities is an important factor. Even though the United States has formed these diversities, there is only one thing in common among its inhabitants - "ordinary Americans"; idea; objective; America's dream.

Written by Citizen Kane, supervised by Steve Fitzgerald and Gaithers Wells, the great Gatsby is a memorial story of American society as they all represent the most amazing climax of American dreams. . Great Gatsby is American time and dream; it is essentially the consumption of Gatsby. - The only purpose of Jay Gatsby 's life is to realize America' s dream: to be a landowner, to marry the love of his life, to live in comfort and a rich life. But his love for Daisy did not return as much as he expected, so he never got what he wanted. His dream and the dream that Nick pursues is ultimately a dream. At that time the culture could only be realized in the sky way without substance.

"Great Gatsby" and "Citizen Kane" both introduced the theme of the American dream. In the case of "Great Gatsby", the American dream includes a case where the discovery of corruption is slow. Scott F. America's Dream Fitzgerald's individuality and freedom of dreams are related to the goal of following one person. Fitzgerald used American dreams through tension between the two definitions of what American dreams are. One belief is hope, infinite possibility and human possibility. This is what Nick Callaways thinks Gatsby as "a good guy". The second edition of the American Dream is a version of the materialistic value that my dreams are achieved through wealth and high social possibilities. This is a means by which Gatsby gains riches, so that Callaway can not accept his "underestimated contempt". This shows that Fitzgerald believes that if you do not break your purpose you can not achieve American dreams.
