Donald Hoffman talks about do we really see reality as it. In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby doesn't really live in the moment his more so living in the past in his own imaginary land. He feels as though his money and popularity will win Daisy Buchanan for him. Hoffman states that "Once we let go of our massively intuitive but massively false assumption about the nature of our reality, it opens up new ways to think about life's greatest mystery." When relating his statement to Gatsby he was so head strong about get wealth he started making it illegally. All he can see from illegally selling liquor is that it will make Daisy want to be with him because his wealthy. Daisy had no plans to be with Gatsby regardless of his wealth, popularity or even the past they had with one another. Gatsby wasn't taking no for an answer he kept hope alive in he and Daisy's "relationship". In all reality though the book Gatsby became delusional and very naive to he and Daisy having a life together. His not very concerned with her child, he doesn't care that divorce isn't a good thing in that time and he doesn't realize his money isn't stable and its ILLEGAL. Gatsby doesn't really get a grasp of reality because Wilson kills him.
