HOMES

The contrasting homes of three central characters in a story highlight their distinctive social statuses and personalities. Gatsby's enormous, opulent mansion in West Egg symbolizes both his immense wealth and his inherent loneliness.

HOMES

HOMES

The Buchanans

Haves a big house in east egg
Great social status because of the home in east egg and Tom's old money.

The Buchanans house really reflected them because of where it was and how big and nice it was. Daisy and Tom love having elite social status.

Tom's House -Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay.

Gatsby

Huge home in west egg that he parties in weekly
Good social status but because of his new money and where he lived, it was never as good as the Buchanans

His home kind of reflected his character because it was big and fancy but lonely and empty at the same time.

Gatsby's house - The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard—it was a factual imitation of some Hotel 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.

Subtopic

Nick

Small house in west egg beside Gatsby's
Lived in West egg and was new in town so he didn't have the best social status

His home reflected his character because it wasn't to big or fancy and I feel like he is like that. Nick never acts like he's a big deal like some other characters

Quotes

I lived at West Egg, the – well, the least fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. My house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season.
