Wealth is a materialistic and tangible object that drives people to act irrationally and to have an unrealistic view of the way life should be. The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a story of how wealth that the characters obtain leads them to act in a way that influences others’ lives and their own as well.
