Marxist lens Change the Way Gatsby Characters are Viewed

In this essay, the Marxist lens changed my perspective of some of the main characters. For example, I view the relationship and the love between Gatsby and Daisy entirely different. Suddenly after reading this, their love is less meaningful, and both of them are only out for themselves, wanting to gain each other as commodities. Gatsby is now only concerned with attaining Daisy, "he took what he could get, ravenously and unscrupulously." In addition, nick is viewed as very bias and unreliable as a narrator. I agree with this conclusion and it makes the book somewhat clearer after understanding that. "Nick wants to believe in the possibility of hope. Nick believes in Gatsby because he wants to believe that Gatsby's dream can come true for himself...Nick doesn't want to be reminded that Gatsby's glittering world rests on corruption." Additionally, Daisy appears almost as terrible as Tom in this analysis. "The apparent ease with which he lets Gatsby take the blame for Myrtle's death, while she beats a hasty retreat with Tom, indicates that her commodification of people, like that of her husband, facilitates the cold-blooded sacrifice of others to her convenience. Why is it that when we read The Great Gatsby, we have so much sympathy for Daisy? In addition, why does Nick seem more reliable than he actually is?
