The Gatsby Effect

What is The Gatsby Effect?


1.

When the subject becomes wrapped up in feelings that are dictated by the need for an unobtainable dream. The person can seem incredible irrational and borderline obsessive. The subject may or may not be aware of dream being unattainable. If they are aware, a dilemma most often will occur in regards to pursuing the goal or dropping it. While one answer seems correct to outside people, they will seem equally as hard to the subject.

'Why doesn't Fred just stop talking to Sally. He has to know nothing is there for him. He is simply wasting his time trying hook up with her again. Ok, maybe they had something 7 years ago but come on he just needs to move on'

'He is a classic example of The Gatsby Effect.'
