Inside Nick’s home, Gatsby accidentally knocks over a clock while sitting with Daisy and Nick. Although Daisy left Gatsby when he went to war, Gatsby tries to recreate old times as he attempts to rekindle their previous relationship. Nick recounts, the door open nervously, and Gatsby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt, and gold-colored tie, hurried in, revealing Gatsby’s innocence as he foolishly attempts to recreate the past. Gatsby, nervous about the meeting, decides to dress in all white with a gold tie. Later on in the novel, Gatsby asks Nick to arrange a meeting between Daisy and him. The purity and royalty of the two women is also shown when Nick is, almost surprised into murmuring an apology by having disturbed her by coming in(Fitzgerald 8). White, a color difficult to keep clean, demonstrates both the elegance and effeminate qualities of the two women, free from any impurities. Both Daisy and Jordan come from wealth and can afford any lavish clothes. Once he sees Daisy and Jordan, he describes them dressed, in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had been blown back in after a short flight around the house, illustrating the pureness of the two women (Fitzgerald 8). When Nick first arrives in New York, he is invited by the Buchanans to visit their elegant house and eat dinner.
In the beginning of the novel, the color white symbolizes both saintliness and purity. For the duration of the novel, the color white represents purity, elegance, and innocence however, as the novel progresses, the meaning of the color white morphs into inequality, unfairness, and disproportionate wealth. He uses the color white to describe Jordan Baker, Daisy Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby. Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald uses vivid symbolism by associating colors to certain characters. The novel takes place through the perspective of Nick Carraway, who recently moved to New York as a stockbroker after World War One. After fighting in World War One, a determined Gatsby earns a fortune through illegal channels and purchases a mansion in West Egg, across from East Egg where Tom and Daisy Buchanan live. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, one of the main characters of the novel, Gatsby, tries to win back the already married Daisy Buchanan’s love.
