What is some symbolism in the great gatsby and death of the salesman?
Gatsby white for Daisy – the illusion of purity and innocence valley of the ashes – no life, a metaphorical waste land, corruption of American dream, failure eyes of TJ Eclebert -they think of it as god ironic as there is no religion in book all the characters are moral less the green light – idea of the original settlers hopes and dreams. Gatsby himself – he represents the American dream and how it has been corrupted Cars – symbol of status and destruction. Symbol status Gatsby’s car described as ‘circus wagon’ shows he has no taste and is flaunts his wealth showing he will never be part of Daisy and Tom’s class.
