What's your interpretation of The Great Gatsby? Is it an allegorical critique of capitalism or a lambasting of the common perception of the American Dream?
To me, I view the character of Daisy as representing the very capricious and subjective American Dream while Gatsby represents the civilian who relentlessly pursues that Dream (Daisy), ultimately losing their innocence/life in the process.
