way. White is used in association with many characters‚ including Nick‚ Gatsby‚ and especially Daisy‚ although I don’t think that white is used to express innocence and class‚ but rather the illusion of it. The first example of white that I noticed in the book was when Nick was invited formally to a party at Gatsby’s mansion‚ and “...dressed up in white flannels [to go] over to his lawn a little after 7” (pg. 27). Although Nick isn’t profoundly rich‚ he wears white flannels to the party to put

For example‚ he said his gracious next door neighbor Jay Gatsby is “unaffected scom”‚ and the Buchannan couple were “careless people”; even said that his lover Jordan Baker is “incurably dishonest.” Nick is not only the righteous and objective narrator who he claimed to be‚ he is also someone whose sight is muddled by the lavish life of the rich and famous. His internal conflict over the lifestyle of his new life in New York goes on throughout the

Ashes‚ a landfill site solely for ashes‚ is painted by Fitzgerald to greaten our appreciation of American Society and the themes it generates such as social decline‚ moral ambiguity‚ the loss of hope and faith and the dominance of shallow materialism. Nick Carraway labels the Valley as “desolate”‚ thus steering our attention into one which will perceive the Valley negatively.

This is shown when Fitzgerald uses the setting of Gatsby’s parties to show the critique of their carelessness. Nick describes what he hears and sees

As Nick was both the narrator and participant in the story‚ Fitzgerald conveyed immediacy to the events of the past and an added dramatic dimension because of the interest in Nick personally.

something. The theme I have decided to write about is the theme "only fools fall in love" from the book The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Protagonist‚ Jay Gatsby‚ is "in love" with Daisy Buchanan. Why do I say "in love" with quotes? I say it like this because throughout the story it seems to me that he may be just "in love" with a dream of Daisy or simply "in love" with the idea of being in love.
