Theme in The Great Gatsby
The American dream can corrupt because of its
emphasis on money. Eckleburg, yellow, gold,
silver, red, white, pink
Wealth and money of the upper classes can be empty.
Grey, Valley of Ashes, gold, silver, yellow,
white
Greed and overindulgence can lead to tragedy.
Lavender, red, gold, car, mansion,
Innocence isn’t always what it seems. White, pink,

You can’t repeat the past. Clocks, green light, pink,

lavender, yellow, gold, silver, Eckleburg,
