Abstract: The Great Gatsby vividly presents the mental state of young people and the value orientation of the society in the American jazz age, and thus drawing numerous readers to ponder over the rupture of the American Dream and the wilderness era of the American upper class. This novel certainly possesses profound literary connotation and impressive research values. Depending on this masterpiece, Fitzgerald was enabled to fortify his unique position in the history of American literature. This paper aims to use Maslow Hierarchy of Needs to interpret the psychological needs of Gatsby and Daisy, the main characters in The Great Gatsby, so as to find out their behavioral motivation and the influence of their internal psychological factors.
