I must admit, your comments are way too deep for me. But what I always took away from the novel (other than it being a great story with interesting characters) is that wealth does fulfill an unhappy person. It perhaps makes them worse off through isolation and the constant pursuit of "more".
I think I remember my teacher saying that GG represents the danger of the American Dream (something like that).

The 2013 movie has much the structure of the 1974 film (which review I linked to above)

I often find myself in the position of defending Fitzgerald from people who don't think him serious.

I prefer Fitzgerald to Hemingway, among others
