Question

What are some examples of materialism in the great gatsby?

Answer 1

All gatsby cared about was his money, and throwing LAVISH parties for people to believe that he had great power and what not..

Answer 2

hmm I had to read that book a couple months ago for a class also. Some examples of  materialism might include for example how Daisy Buchanan decides between an empty marriage with her husband Tom and Jay Gatsby, her love interest. She chooses Tom even though he doesn't make her truly happy.

Answer 3

Well, she left sure true love to have the material things the other guy could give her, didn't she?  Talk about materialism....
