th him again. In a common sense, they should be together and live a better life which consists of love and money ever after. However, things come to a break while Daisy and Tom drop a hint to the husband of Myter---Mr. Wellson, that the yellow car belongs to Gatsby after Gatsby has protected Daisy from the accident successfully, and in the early morning, Gatsby is murdered by Mr. Wellson mistakenly. In such a case, Daisy doesn’t feel any regret or sadness; instead she leaves for another city to have her honey month with his husband Tom. In Daisy’s eyes, the only thing she can see is money, the person who has more money will win her love easier. But Gatsby’s American Dream and all the things he takes great pains to achieve is to win Daisy’s love, so it is doomed to be a failure the time when his property doesn’t mean anything to Daisy. According to the love between Gatsby and Daisy, it is easy to claim that wealth is the basis of love, and without money, there is no love. B. Connection Between love and Money in Reality Money is a kind of currency and a tool for exchange. The period without goods exchange is not long in the history, and such a period is just the most immature, and which develops very slowly. And the pace of development becomes much faster after the appearance of currency and exchange. It is reasonable to claim that money is the basis of the human development, and love in reality is only a small part of human society, and it is closely connected with money, too.

But you only wanted the love of your brother. Is it because you are old and dying? ” . “No way!” the man cried. “But my brother is, and he’s worth about 60 million.” The story means that many people attach more importance to money than to love. It is his brother he does like that, not mention his lover, who is not his kin and knows each other not so well at all. As for Gatsby’s love for Daisy, it is obviously based on the wealth of the family which Daisy was born. From Chapter Six of the novel The Great Gatsby, we know “he knew women early…since they spoiled him, he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant, of others because they were hysterical about things”. In fact, the real reason that Gatsby doesn’t fall in love with any one of them is that they were not born in a rich family and have to work hard all day only to maintain their livelihood. On the contrary, Daisy belongs to the upper class, and she always lives a life with enough luxuriant materials. If Gatsby chooses the former, he may spend all his life time in hard work, but if he chooses the rich girl Daisy, he will live a better life as Daisy lives. Every human being has an eager to live a better life, and Gatsby is also an ordinary people, there is no reason for him to give up a better life but live a hard life with the poor girl. It is quite appropriate to declare that money is the foundation of love. As a matter of fact, money
