It has nothing to do with the American dream. It's just a melodrama about some rich people. Nowhere in the book are the characters building better lives for themselves/working hard. It's just sitting around having parties, that's the antithesis of the American Dream.

>It's just a melodrama about some rich people.
I'm agreeing with you, but that's the point. probably, I haven't read it A lot of these books are just diatribes against a certain group (usually rich assholes) but people are too dense to get it.
Look it! They're rich and they're doing all the shitty things they want! I want to do that! American dream! Whoo! YOLO! That kinda shit.
It's like calling romeo and juliet a touching romance when it's just mocking idiot teenagers or Lolita being, again, a touching romance when it's about this creeping fucking pedophile trying to justify rubbing his dick against a 12 year old girl.

Most apparent, maybe. Trying to grade correctness is the antithesis of the humanities.
