Gatsby’s dream is unrealistic because it depends on other people’s actions. Gatsby’s entire dream revolves around his love and attempts to see daisy again.“ You’re just supposed to invite her to tea” (Fitzgerald 85). Gatsby’s dream relies on others actions and how they respond to his requests. This quote is a perfect example as Gatsby asks Nick to bring Daisy over for tea, so Gatsby and Daisy can reunite. Gatsby had a lot invested in this dream of his but the deciding factor to make his dream a reality was if he could get the help from people that he needed. “And it was from Cody that he inherited money” (Fitzgerald 107).
