Setting Reflects and determines the values of the people who live and work there. Setting reveals character – East Egg = Daisy’s house. Home of the Ivy League; old money; secure w/ their money = no need to show it off. – West Egg = Nick’s house, Gatsby’s house. Nick lives here b/c he’s too poor to afford a house in E. Egg. Gatsby lives here b/c he lacks the social credentials to be accepted in E. Egg. – Valley of the Ashes = Wilson’s garage, Michaelis’s restaurant, the billboard of Dr. Eckleburg. Contrast to both Eggs. Characterized by dust. Its inhabitants are symbolically “dumped on” by the rest of the world. Stands as a symbol of the spiritual dryness, the emptiness of the world of the novel. – New York City = offices where people work, Tom and Myrtle’s “love nest”, the Plaza Hotel. NYC is a symbol of what America has become in the 1920s = a place where anything goes, where money is made, and bootleggers flourish.
