    To get from one place to another quicker and easier, autos were used. This paved opportunities for people living in isolation to travel to occupied cities and attend social outings. Often, people left home to do something rebellious like attend parties or go on dates that went against traditional ideals. In the novel, Tom uses his “blue coupe” as a way to cheat on Daisy and escape the dissatisfying, boring monogamous marriage. (132). For instance, Jordan recalls a situation Tom’s been in. She states that Tom was involved in a car accident and his passenger- his mistress- ended up injured. He has everything a person could possibly want- money, a stable home, and a beautiful wife to come home to; However, it’s not enough for him because he craves power and obtaining someone beneath him, satisfies that need. Daisy and Jordan also leave their household with their cars. This is an example of modern culture clashing with traditionalism. During the 1920s, women were confined to the household, but the era allowed for more flexibility. They quickly adopted to the new freedoms granted to them. Gatsby’s car, before it hit Myrtle, was symbolized as her American Dream. Her dream was to be with Tom and obtain the luxurious lifestyle and high status. She runs toward the yellow car to in hopes of escaping the clutches of her husband, George Wilson, and the economic poverty she faced, but her dream is ultimately crushed when she’s…

    Jay Gatsby is a new money who made living as a bootlegger. Gatsby tried to use the fancy story to cover his real identity, the son of a poor farmer of North Dakota. That’s because he despised poverty and he was self-abasement about his childhood. So he decided to make up a story in order to pretend like an old money. He even changed his name ‘James Gatz’ to ‘Jay Gatsby’, but his new name didn’t help him to cover the insecure side of his heart. He wanted to get people’s recognition, while he was afraid that people might ‘misunderstand’ him. So he was eager to know other people’s opinion of him and tried to brainwash them to make them believe that he was an old money. Apparently, Tom Buchanan, the real old money didn’t buy it. After almost one…

    Cars - the symbol of wealth, power and dreams - appear almost everywhere in the novel and show a lot about the owner's character. Gatsby owns "a rich cream colour" (Fitzgerald, 63) Rolls Royce with green leather. This expensive car shows that Gatsby's life is heavily based on materialism which he believes is necessary for his dream to come true. Symbolically, the car represents Gatsby's dream of being with Daisy. The golden colour symbolizes the wealth he had attained to win her and the green colour symbolizes the hope he has for her. The fact that Gatsby prefers to drive his own car everywhere, rather than being chauffeured as other upper class people do, shows his trait of being able to take hold of his dreams and make them come true. Tom promises George Wilson a car, and uses that promise to control him. Tom uses his power and wealth that the car represents to dominate over Wilson who is in desperate need of it. Whenever Wilson says something that displeases Tom, Tom threatens to not give him the car:…

    Mr. Gatsby preferred not to share his personal life with the people around him. He once told me that he was from the Middle West and his family was deceased. He said he served in the military during World War One as a dedicated captain. Mr. Gatsby received a medal in the Great War, which says, “Major Jay Gatsby, For Valour Extraordinary.” He told people and myself he was an Oxford man who came back to the United States to pursue an entrepreneurial business. Although Mr. Gatsby never shared his business dealings, he maintained a luxurious lifestyle and was known for his extravagant parties. Gatsby welcomed everyone to his soirées to enjoy his hospitality; that is how we met and we became close ever since. As I was reflecting on his death I thought, “Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it [was] what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short winded elations of men” (2).…

    Colors within the novel are also used to stir the emotion of the reader. Fitzgerald changes the color of the car used by Gatsby at first it is cream colored, but it later changes to yellow the color of corruption and greed after Daisy and Gatsby strike and kill Myrtle. When Fitzgerald writes, “With enchanting murmurs Daisy admired this aspect or that of the feudal silhouette against the sky, admired the gardens, the sparkling odor of jonquils and the frothy odor of hawthorn and plum blossoms and the pale gold odor of kiss-me-at-the gate” (p. 96). He was writing a vivid description again mixing the senses of smell by first having you smell a frothy odor then a golden one. Fitzgerald uses the sense of smelling…

    Like any other American, Jay Gatsby wants to become a model of excellence for others. At the beginning of his adulthood, he is just a “steward, mate, skipper, secretary, and even jailor” (106) while working with the wealthy Dan Cody. When Nick first meets Gatsby, he admires how perfect he is made up to be, despite the rumors he heard at the first party he goes to at Gatsby’s house. “I saw the skins of tigers flaming in his palace on the Grand Canal; I saw him opening a chest of rubies to ease, with their crimson-lighted depths, the gnawings of his broken heart.” (71). Nick’s first impression of Gatsby is exactly what Gatsby wants.…

    Gatsby’s party coming to an end reveals his latent loneliness; he has a marvelous house and plenty of money, but once the party is over he can no longer hide how emotionally detached he is. Gatsby being surrounded by grey in my painting shows how even though he keeps himself surrounded by interesting people and expensive possessions, Gatsby is truly isolated from others. His life is lonesome and empty, and the luxury that he lives in can only temporarily ease that pain. This is a prime example of how working hard and getting rich do not necessarily lead to happiness and life satisfaction, and that the American dream is not all that it is made out to…
