"How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?" - (The Script)

"Can't repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!". What a man who cannot be moved by the opinion of others! or shall we see this as a stubborn attribute of Gatsby?

He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand."

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” -Nick

Gatsby can't seem to move on with his first love, Daisy. The green light that he's trying to reach every night is where Daisy lives. For him, Daisy is always seems so hard to reach.  The green light also symbolizes Gatsby's love for Daisy or should I say his idea of his love for Daisy?

He spends his money on parties, hoping that one day, Daisy will come. All the efforts of Gatsby, his motivation to be better was all for his one goal - Daisy.

The party symbolizes Gatsby's peak. A part of this could be showing off his money to establish connections for his business but the main reason behind all these parties is a woman - his TOTGA (the one that got away!).

"There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion" - Nick

Gatsby believed that if he could be the richest, and cover up all his past with his wealth, then the woman of his dream, Daisy, would be his. He built his riches and decisions based on his fantasies. Thus, this unhealthy mind of Gatsby gave him a hard time to accept the reality and he did not have any idea what it will cost him in the end.

Many years have passed and many things have changed but for Gatsby, Daisy seems to be more than a summer love thing.
Who would have thought that being faithful to someone he loves will be his downfall?

Gatsby has the money, the connections, and most importantly, the looks.  He could have all the girls that you want but he's still after a married woman.

This was the moment when Tom Buchanan mocked him for not being equal as them. Gatsby was already frustrated enough at this moment, because everything seemed to be falling apart, little by little. First, his identity and origin were questioned; second, he could not draw out the answer he wanted to hear from Daisy. He wanted her to say in front of Tom that the only man she has ever loved was him. Sadly, the reality hit him greatly and looses his temper. This was a shocking moment especially for Daisy, so she left immediately.

At this point, everything seemed like it was not going in Gatsby's way, and the very worse thing happened - the accident. Daisy was now confused about her feelings and has voiced it out. She ran out and tried to escape her reality again, by driving. Gatsby followed her in order to convince her. By chance, she hit and run the mistress of his husband, Tom Buchanan, and eventually died. Now, one man's anger doubled, and Gatsby is in more danger than he imagined.

It's hard to accept the death of our charming Gatsby but that is how a shakespearean tragedy works - it leads to the death of a man in high estate. In the end, it creates the emotion from the audience to feel sorry, pity, and even frustration maybe. Because how could we not? He got shot for covering the crime that he did not commit. Expecting a call from Daisy, yet all his waiting gone into vain and dies in a horrible way.

“Nobody came.”
"Why, my God!" They used to go there by the hundreds!"

There were hundreds of people who attended his lavish parties but only his father, his friend, and another six or seven people attended his funeral.

In the end, everything that he thought he knew did not come to say goodbye to him. Money can't buy you love and friends. Those who came in his funeral truly loved him.

“You're worth the whole damn bunch put together.” I've always been glad I said that. It was the only compliment I ever gave him, because I disapproved of him from beginning to end.” - Nick Carraway.

Nick is the only one who truly knows what happened. He knows who the real Jimmy "Jay" Gatz. He admired Gatsby not because he's rich but because of his sacrifices for his love and ambition. To Nick, Gatsby's life is a waste if people don't know what the real story is. He's the one who added "Great" in Gatsby's name.
