Love is a beautiful thing and so many people use this word in vain. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald there are many great themes that I could’ve chosen to write about but I felt like there was none better than to talk about the power of love that Gatsby had for Daisy. The love he had for her was truly unconditional. True/unconditional love is when one is willing to die for another, much like what God did for us. Growing up in church, I believe that is the true meaning of love and for this
"Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own"in the story the great Gatsby, many of the characters seem to express what they believe is love.

To begin,Gatsby is hurt and devastated when he discovers that Daisy has married time
say when it comes to love it takes two to tango. Love could be a beautiful thing, but it doesn’t always last forever. It can turn ugly. Either one or the other loses feelings and they just fade away and the other is stuck, like a hostage in their memory. Love is like a rubber band. Two people hold on and they just keep stretching and stretching, but then someone lets go, and the one that held on gets the snap, and gets hurt. And in F.

It revolves around two extramarital affairs and people who let their power get to their heads. Fitzgerald delves into a world where everything is not what it appears to be.

be in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. All throughout the book it is clearly shown that Gatsby is taken advantage of by many different people, and yet he is oblivious of this. He also exaggerates his past to impress the one person he loves most. We start to see his “friends” true colors towards him in the darkest of times during Gatsby’s death.

As Javan once said, “love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes just be an illusion”. Javan delivers a message that sometimes love is a mirage, the enchanting emotion individuals experience when in love, may just be a lie they created for themselves.
