Willy Loman, Jay Gatsby
Two different people, with a lot in common
A hope and a dream, The American Dream
One dreams of money and success
The other of finding lost love
Willy sacked from his job, is in despair
He has nothing to live for
His life ends, his dream ends
He dies without succeeding
He dies a failure
Gatsby’s dream is nearly fulfilled
He finds Daisy, his lost love
Then in a terrible twist of fate
Gatsby is murdered his life is over
His dream is never succeeded
Both died failures
Both lived dreamers
They followed their heart
They followed the dream of all Americans
They followed the American Dream
Joanne Kennedy
June 1999
