When the visiting trio, consisting of Nick Carraway, Daisy Buchanan, and Tom Buchanan, arrives at Gatsby's mansion, Gatsby initially appears nervous and eager to impress them, particularly Daisy. He tries to create an atmosphere of grandeur, showcasing his wealth and lavish lifestyle.

In the Great Gatsby, the only aspect of the American dream (which when most people think of means success, money, happiness) is the money part. She doesn't work, so really, does she have success? As for happiness, I don't think she really knows how to have happiness. She's stuck up and snotty. She has this illusion of happiness with Gatsby, but as she never meant to leave Tom for him, was that really happiness? And with Tom, they will never be happy. Fitzgerald wrote "[Daisy and Tom] weren't happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or the ale-and yet they weren't unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture…". So in the end, the only part of the American dream Daisy gets...is money.
