: An arrogant, "old money" socialite whose infidelity and class-based elitism drive much of the story's conflict. Major Symbols & Motifs

The film presents the American Dream not as a reachable goal, but as a destructive illusion. Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) embodies the "self-made man" who believes wealth can rewrite his past and win back Daisy. However, Luhrmann’s adaptation suggests that prosperity does not equal virtue; Gatsby’s wealth is built on criminal bootlegging, and his hope remains unrewarded. The film portrays him as a tragic figure swept up in a dream that never truly existed. Visual Symbolism and Color index of the great gatsby 2013
