Wanting to receive her love, he was willing to tell her anything, even if it was all a lie. As Gatsby said, “What was the point of doing great things if I could have more fun telling her what I would do?” (Fitzgerald 150). Gatsby had an ideal image that he had to achieve in order for Daisy to truly love him. Once he discovered that Daisy had married Tom, that news was the trigger that pushed Gatsby into his dream of winning Daisy back. The “big dream” of capturing Daisy had taken over and Gatsby would not stop until he achieved the dream. Somehow, Gatsby realized that the only way to win Daisy back was to actually live up to the image he told her, which was the image of “what he would do” (Fitzgerald 150). He promised to be "the country boy who reinvents himself as Jay Gatsby, who 'is born from a platonic conception of himself'" and since he had acquired the appropriate lifestyle for Daisy, it was time to win back her heart.
