Great Gatsby Question?

The novel portrays members of the upper cl as s generally and other people as casualties of their careless lifestyle. For example, Tom was a bully and a cheater, while the Wilson's were killed as a result of Tom and Daisy's actions. Gatsby who was also rich was cut short in the prime of his life. Fitzgerald wants to get across the message that even if you pursue the American Dream with the most innocent and idealist intentions, the moral decay in society will catch up to you and bring you down.
