Gatsby guest list

Gatsby's parties are symbolic of achieving the American dream. Also, the guests are identified for the purpose of allowing the reader to visualize the lifestyle and setting of the book. This period in history, just after World War I and the Great Spanish Flu Epidemic which killed between 40 and 50 million people, depicts a time when people wanted to forget about war and disease and just have lavish parties. Guests came from East Egg, the location of the old money and long established social importance. Guests came from West Egg, newer members of the social elite. The guest list for Gatsby's party supports Gatsby's efforts to support his delusion of being one of the beautiful and important people in the New York social society of his time.

Nick describes the land that lies in between the Eggs and New York as a valley of ashes which sounds really unpleasant. Nick has the distinct honor of being the only character who changes substantially from the story's beginning.

The relationship between a dog and a man is that of master and servant. This mirrors the relationship between Myrtle and Tom (Tom as master and Myrtle as slave)

The Great Gatsby Chapter 1

what are your questions?
1, How many times Fitzgerald uses the words hope, or dream. Why does he do that?
2, How does Nick react to Jordan?
3, Why Tom's behavior reveal about his character?

what do you find interesting?
When Nick heads over to East Egg to have dinner with Daisy, his second cousin once removed, and her husband, Tom Buchanan, an old college buddy. Daisy and Tom have a child, who spends the majority of her two year old time sleeping in the other room. Daisy talks about when her daughter was born Tom wasn't there, and she wished that her daughter would be a "beautiful little fool" too dumb to know any better.

what are your opinions about the characters?
Nick's "advantages" come from "old money."
Nick introduces Gatsby and connects him to both new money and the American Dream, and indicates that Gatsby was done in by the "foul dust" of the Roaring Twenties. Nick's clearly come from old money.

what else can you discuss?
Predictions? Judgment? Etc?
"Old money" East Egg faces "new money" West Egg across the water, symbolically showing the class rivalry the towns literally oppose each other. That "old money" Nick rents a house in "new money" West Egg shows he spans both worlds. Gatsby's gesture is symbolic of his character: he is a hopeful seeker of unattainable dreams. It's not clear at this point what the green light symbolizes, but it's clear that to Gatsby it symbolizes some dream or hope.
