Dream of A Character Dying

"It passed, and he began to talk excitedly to Daisy, deny- ing everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made. But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling un- happily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room." 

By examining this quotation, we can see how Gatsby loses his dream or desire of reaching his perfection. Daisy Buchanan, is considered as something unattainable in Gatsby's life. In this chapter, Gatsby and Daisy finally reunite and publicize their affairs. Even though Gatsby finally gets what he has been wanting, simultaneously, he also loses his desire of reaching perfection in his life.
