The “prince,” Jay Gatsby’s, abrupt exposure to the reality of the ruthless rich proves to be fatal in the final stages of his winning Daisy, his “princess” and "forbidden fruit.” In a typical fairy tale two star-crossed lovers are kept apart by geographic distance, social status, or evil forces. They go through a series of hardships to be together and, at some point, are torn from their love.
