In Hemingway’s evocation of the Dream, no party is held harmless, and the reader must sympathize with the most unlikely of characters while lamenting that, on the whole, the American Dream collapses upon itself.

That said, there are three distinct social classes in Hemingway’s To Have and have Not. They are the lower working-class including Harry and the Conchs; the intellectual middle-class elite who are supposed to represent the American Dream, such as Richard Gordon, Professor MacWalsey, and the New Deal administrator Frederick Harrison; and finally, the uber-rich who are the supposed embodiment of The Dream made good, like Mr. Johnson and the people on the yachts.

(three quotes, each explained individually in 25 words or more)

3) The super wealthy such as Mr. Johnson and the people on the yachts, despite being the destination and supposed result of The American Dream made good (the goal for all), are vapid shiftless individuals with no care beyond their own worries and woes, the resolution of which is at the cost of those under them in the social order.
