Metaphors and Symbolism in The Great Gatsby In the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses many different metaphors and symbolism to make his point. In this essay the point I want to make is how Fitzgerald uses colors to develop images, feelings and representation of landscape to make the reader feel the emotions and other aspects represented in that particular part of the book. Like any other essay, you need to address the main points that will be addressed. This essay suggests the hope of Nick's venture in the East and Gatsby's dream of winning Daisy. Fitzgerald uses the colors white and green as suggestions for the future. As the novel unfolds and the futility of the dream develops, the colors become gaudy shades like gold, silver, and pink. White and green are shown throughout the beginning of the novel, first, through the bright green and white light. Daisy is constantly shown in white. When Nick first sees his cousin (Daisy), she is wearing a white dress. In my mind, white represents virginity, innocence, honesty, wealth and the appearance of cleanliness. Later I will discuss how this image of Daisy is fake. She is extremely corrupt and all her actions are based on self-gratitude. Green is also depicted in the early parts of this novel. It is a symbol of hope. This probably refers to Gatsby's second chance at romance with Daisy, and his dream that America can make all your dreams come true. Gatsby believes there is hope for his future relationship with Daisy. We see his r... in the center of the card... swollen with silver, as if to say that it was made in a terrible way. The last color that is heavily represented when talking about Gatsby's character is pink. Pink is a sign of embarrassment. When Gatsby states that Daisy never loved Tom, she was always in love with him, he was shocked to hear from his own mouth that she loved them both. This placed Gatsby in a very uncomfortable situation and this event finally pushed him over the edge. Throughout this novel we have seen how the plot slowly changes from the rich and exquisite life of the rich, to the stubborn, arrogant and selfish values ​​that each of these characters possessed, especially Gatsby. Corruption reigned so high in their society; it was seen as something normal.
