Gatsby tries to achieve happiness by constantly throwing parties so he could reunite with Daisy. He is able to finally see Daisy because of Nick, and they spend a lot of time together. During these times, Jay is the happiest he's ever been because he's been waiting for Daisy for so long. Daisy claims she loves him, but when she killed Myrtle and Gatsby was blamed, she didn't come forward and Gatsby took the fall because he loved her and would do anything for her.

When Gatsby was killed, Daisy ran back to her husband and didn't have the decency to even come to Jay's funeral. I think Gatsby also failed by throwing parties because even though he welcomed people into his home, none of those people respected him. All those expensive and extravagant parties were pointless because he never seemed to enjoy them, and Daisy only showed up to one of them.
