F
...
The novel is set
in the Roaring 20’s during the time of the Prohibition
...
Fitzgerald portrays these central concerns of the text through several literary techniquessome of which include narrative point of view, theme, setting and characterisation
...
We are told by Nick at the exposition of the novel that
East Egg is the wealthier, more elite of the two Eggs
...
West Egg is characterised by lavish
displays of wealth and garish poor taste
...
Gatsby throws lavish parties, in
an attempt to become a member of the social elite in the hope that maybe Daisy will
hear that it was him that was holding them and run back to him
...
So he will never get Daisy, no matter how hard he tries
...
West Egg is associated with Gatsby’s gaudy mansion
and the inner drive behind his self-made fortune
...
Daisy Buchanan, the main character whom Gatsby is in love with lives in East Egg
...
It is much more exclusive and it is where the people
from ‘old money’ are situated
...
Nick our narrator comments on how Daisy acts
“She asserted her membership in a rather distinguished society to which she and Tom
belonged
...
East eggers tend to live a life
of ease and luxury
...
Daisy chose the security of money over love
...

At the end of Daisy’s Dock there is a green light that is always flashing, and you are able
to see it from the end of Gatsby’s dock
...
The Green Light signifies Gatsby’s dream of getting Daisy
...
”
The Green Light represents the unattainable dream, as well as representing Gatsby’s
hopes and dreams for the future, so therefore the light also represents Daisy
...
Gatsby’s
quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American Dream
...
Unfortunately near the end of the novel the Green light goes out, which shows that no
matter how hard you try, what you dream for isn’t always achievable- which also
represents how the American Dream is conveyed in the novel
...
Gatsby has achieved the American Dream, because
he went from nothing to being very wealthy, but we discover that beneath the surface
that there is more to it, as the dream is built on lies and corruption
...
In conclusion, Fitzgerald’s use of narrative point of view helps me to appreciate the novel
“The Great Gatsby”
