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.

colors---> honorable wealth/upper class-----> Corruption of American Dream

    While I am confident that you have a good sense of how you will approach this essay, you haven't really given me much to comment on. You might take some time to check out some of the comments I have made on related posts.
