F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby distinguishes its characters based on their money. The world may revolve around money, but that doesn't mean money means everything, and Fitzgerald drives home this theme to his readers very well, simply by telling a story all about money. Money is a major concern for many characters, all from different classes, including Tom and Daisy who were born with money, Jay Gatsby who worked for his money himself, and finally, there is George Wilson who has little money despite his hard work. None of these mentioned characters come out happy, thus proving that money alone does not make a person happy. Not to mention the fact that starting with this money can greatly affect someone's personality. Tom is stubborn and constantly cheats on Daisy, while Daisy simply leans on Tom for support and is painfully shallow since she herself is having an affair which makes her a hypocrite. That's all they really have to worry about, but since they have a nanny looking after their child, they can pay for anything they destroy, and they don't seem to face any consequences. Because Daisy decided it was a good idea to drive while she was driving through a town, causing Myrtle to die, it makes me sick to think that she barely thought about it afterward. Why should she worry about killing someone, if she gets in trouble she might just get out of it, probably for less than her $350,000 pearl necklace Tom bought her. Just because Tom and Daisy don't have a worry in the world doesn't mean they're happy. They don't really act like they love each other, they're drunks with little to no uniqueness, and they never settle for what they have based on how they cheat, buy their entertainment and n have no responsibility. Spoiled since birth, Tom and Daisy do not seem to be happy people throughout The Great Gatsby, even though they have more money than they will ever use. Their wealthy counterpart, however, has a sense of responsibility, but he's not exactly thrilled.
