Answer:

As their wealth grew, many Americans of the 1920s broke down the traditional barriers of society. ... In The Great Gatsby, Prohibition finances Gatsby's rise to a new social status, where he can court his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, whose voice (as Gatsby famously tells Nick in the novel) is “full of money"

The moral of The Great Gatsby is that the American Dream is ultimately unattainable. Jay Gatsby had attained great wealth and status as a socialite; however, Gatsby's dream was to have a future with his one true love, Daisy. I found this, hope it helps!
