Reply to comment by RoseIsBadWolf in non United States folks: what do you think of The Great Gatsby? by Different-Carpet-159

I think your mostly right. Although, on a positive note, women are now as eligible for the American dream, I think. Social media seems to be dominated by women "living the dream".

Whats great about TGG is that it shows for all America's bluster about throwing off the old ways , most rich people are still inheritors of generational wealth, the exact thing America was trying to escape from.

Daisy Buchanan would be at home in a Jane Austen novel. She doesn't marry the American Dreamer, she marries the trust fund kid who never has to work a day in his life.
