Abstract	This paper will present an analysis of the attitudes towards the American Dream and money in three major contemporary American novels. The analyzed novels will be The Great Gatsby by F. S. Fitzgerald (1925), On the Road by Jack Kerouac (1957) and American Pastoral by Philip Roth (1997). The paper will discuss the idea of the American Dream and its establishment in the American culture, the values that are connected to money and how the American Dream transformed throughout different socio-cultural periods of American history. The paper will outline a historical background of the periods in which the storylines are set. The main part of the paper will focus on the main characters of the works and their relationship with money in order to explore the role that the materialistic part of the American Dream plays in construction of their identities.
