Men and women have coexisted with each other since the beginning of time. Women with their cunning, seductive traits, have a great advantage over men and have used these quality traits to get what they want. From the beginning of man to modern day, women have caused downfall of men just like in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby. .
In Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, who the story revolved around, was an ambitious man who strove to achieve his dream. That dream being a woman by the name of Daisy Buchanan. Everything looked fine except for the fact that Daisy was already married to a man, a man named Tom Buchanan; therefore, Daisy is unattainable. Well aware of this marriage, Gatsby still persisted for his aspiration was far too great to just give up on, thus, Jay Gatsby made a fortune just so he could impress and re-obtain the love of Daisy that he has longed for many years. His entire life, Gatsby had only one thing on his mind and that was to please Daisy, but to his demise, Daisy's infidelity and fickleness had brought an end to his life. .
In Ernesto Quinonez's novel, Bodega Dreams, Willie Bodega is almost an exact replica of Jay Gatsby, but in modern day living in Spanish Harlem. Just like how Gatsby tried to attain the love of Daisy, Bodega wished to gain the love of Vera. They both dreamed to "win the girl" by changing their poor lives to owning a corrupt yet thriving, successful, lucrative business. Although they had done incredible things and surmounted great obstacles to accomplish their goals, there was one grave factor they both had missed, the unfaithfulness of women. Willie Bodega tried to make something great out of Spanish Harlem and change the direction it was going, from a wreck to a prosperous area to live in. .
