great gatsby color symbolism

Could the color of her clothing tell me about the type of personality that she has? At first, one may think that this is a stereotype, however at times it can be true. A person wearing a neon green shirt and purple pleather pants is probably more likely to be outgoing than someone wearing jeans and a white polo. In literature, colors are often purposefully chosen for different characters to represent the character's personalities. In The Great Gatsby, by F.

In contrast to green, yellow and gold are used to be an example of old money, unlike green that is used to depict the new money of gold. Tom could be seen as a gold person for he has old money. As green and gold contrast, so do Gatsby and Tom. A quotation of new money gold is "... Jordan's slender golden arm resting on mine..." Gatsby desperately buys "..... a yellow car," in which he will attempt to be of old money, even though everyone knows that Gatsby is not of old money. Gold and green are as much a contrast of new and old, but they do have a distant connection just as a new and an old car have the same connection. They may look different, but deep down, the two can be seen as the same item. Fitzgerald describes the Valley of Ashes as

"...a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys...and ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud...."(23)
