Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare. As was Hamlet.
In the 1996 version of Hamlet, the part of Ophelia was played by Kate Winslet. Ophelia commits suicide by jumping in a pond when she finds out that Hamlet doesn't love her.
In the 1997 movie Titanic, Kate Winslet plays the part of "Rose", who is unhappy with her fiance Cal (Billy Zane), and who would rather be with Jack Dawson (Leonardio DeCaprio).
Conclusion: The Great Gatsby is a remake of Romeo+Juliet and the Titanic. All 3 are about really rich people throwing grand parties. In all 3 there is a love triangle where the hero wants the girl, but can't have her, and dies instead.
Jay Gatsby == Romeo Montague == Jack Dawson
Daisy Buchanan == Juliet Capulet == Rose Dewitt Bukater
