Although symbolism appears infrequently in F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby, .
is plays an important role in the development of the major themes within the story. The.
most important among these themes that show symbolist importance would be around.
Gatsby's house, another would be materialistic significance, and finally the relationships.
among the characters. All in all among the book symbolism plays a big part in the.
development of the story's major themes. .
The big symbolists feeling is felt around Gatsby's house. One of these symbols is.
the house by its self. The fact that he bought this house to observe Daisy from West egg.
to East egg, was a very big symbol. This symbolizing the love Gatsby has for Daisy. Another.
thing going on in the house would be the parties. In the first party we see people having.
fun, but enjoying it at the cost of Gatsby. This symbolizing the selfishness people to just.
come to this parties uninvited. And lastly one of the big and more important symbols in.
Gatsby's house would be when Gatsby's house lights go off. In Gatsby's house the lights go.
off and everything seems dead, he fired all of his employees, so no gossip would spread.
about him and Daisy. This once again liking to Gatsby's love towards Daisy. All in all the.
house plays a big significance in symbolism. .
Once again symbolism shows up in the story in the form of materialistic meaning.
First of all materialistic importance is seen in Tom's attitude to getting Daisy to marry.
him. Tom gave Daisy a beautiful $350,000 dollar pearl necklace to get her. It symbolizes.
the stupidity of Daisy to fall for this such things. Another symbol in the story pops up in.
Gatsby's second party. The symbol would be the golden little pencil that Daisy handed to.
Tom to write down phone numbers. This represents once again wanting to be a little better.
than others, and wanting to always be higher than some person, basically looking better.
