From the micro perspective, Gatsby has four times of disillusionment altogether. The first one was from his birth to his leaving home, the second disillusionment came after his under Dan Cody's patron for several years, ended by Cody's sudden death leaving Gatsby no money actually inherited. His third disillusionment was the frustration of his love for Daisy as Daisy married to Tom Buchanan. Finally, his fourth disillusion brought him away altogether with his death, after the car accident committed by Daisy and Gatsby was mistakenly regarded as the murderer. In a macro perspective,Gatsby's death in the novel symbolizes the disillusionment of American Dream in the Jazz Age.展开更多
