In "The Great Gatsby", Jay Gatsby is in love with a women named Daisy and she is very wealthy. He says to her that he comes from a wealthy family as well but this is a lie. He doesn't think she will love him if she knew he wasn't actually rich. This happens a lot in modern day society as well. People are so desperate for a specific person or a longing for the feeling of companionship that they lie and "catfish" the person they're talking to. On the tv show "Catfish", they meet up with the person they've been talking to online and see if they've been lying about who they are. "Findings suggest that college students utilize MySpace for identity exploration, engaging in social comparison and expressing idealized aspects of the selves they wish to become" (self presentation and gender on myspace). They all get caught eventually and that's what happened to Jay. Daisy's husband calls Jay out and explains that the way he is gaining is money is not the way he told Daisy. This lie destroyed Daisy and Jay's relationship. Catfishing in anyway is not right and can destroy someone in a mental and emotional way.
