This paper reviews the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It discusses how although the color
white is commonly
associated with purity and innocence. In "The Great Gatsby", Fitzgerald conversely gives the color white a darker connotation by associating it with morally corrupt characters like Daisy and Jordan. It looks at how to some characters in the
novel, especially the West Eggers, objects or people connected with the color white still represent moral
perfection and social superiority. It shows how the color white, in reality, is only an outward representation of beauty, wealth and perfection, void of any intrinsic goodness, although some characters may believe it has deeper value.
