The Great Gatsby
What is Fitzgerald saying about wealth in Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby?
I'm writing a dialectical journal for the Great Gatsby chapter 1. I choset the quote " it was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden. It was Gatsby’s mansion." (page 7 I think) I chose this quote to talk about the wealth theme in chapter 1. I need help figuring out what Fitzgerald seems to be saying about the concept of wealth at this point of the novel.
THANK YOU
