Nick described it as an "unbroken series of successful gestures" (Fitzgerald 2) and remarked that there was "something magnificent about him, increased sensitivity. to the promises of life, as if he were linked to one of those complex machines that record earthquakes tens of thousands of kilometers away” (2). When Nick states this, he is clearly saying that Gatsby's beauty is the same beauty he finds in the American dream. The American dream is truly beautiful when people actually achieve their American dream, then people will see the beauty of life, the beauty of being happy and achieving something that few people do. It is because of Gatsby's "heightened sensitivity to the promises of life" (2) that Nick admits that he still remains ambitious toward the vision of the American dream. This shows that he still believes that the American dream can come true and bring happiness to the people who work hard to achieve it. Author Barbara Will states in her article “The Great Gatsby and the Obscene World”: What matters to Gatsby is what matters to “us”; The Gatsby story is “our” story; its destiny and that of the nation are linked. That Gatsby “ultimately turned out well” is therefore essential to the novel vision of a transcended and collective Americanism (Will 126). Since Gatsby is the idea of ​​what the American dream is and how it should bring us happiness, it clearly states that whatever goals we accomplish in life, everything will be found. People may not get everything they want in life, but at the end of the day, they are happy. Just like Gatsby, he finally achieved his American dream, even if it was for a while.
