The Great Gatsby is a tragedy of love lost, time and time again. It speaks of a love that adheres to boundaries and constructs of society. Gatsby’s yearnings lie in his insatiable longing for Daisy and the societal facade that comes with it. He has unknowingly woven himself into the larger cosmic fabric of fate and by a karmic act of God, Gatsby becomes one with the water he represents. The same water that distanced him from Daisy, became the grave that gently floated his dead body, polluted by the stale love of the one it tried so hard to separate him from.
