Colors, Social class, American Dream
I am going to be doing my paper on colors and their meaning while tying it into class and social structure. I will also tie in how colors and social class link in to how the American dream cant be accessed. Fitzgerald uses the symbolism of color to show how the American dream is corrupted by wealth and social class. The use of colors through out the novel symbolize wealth that corrupts the American Dream.
