The Great Gastby ~Chapter One~
  1. SETTING
    1. Gatsby's house
      1. 'Hotel de Ville', a copy of a town hall in Normandy. Made to look old fashioned and from Europe.
        1. The fact it is copy perhaps enhances the idea of performance and the aspiration for perfection.
      2. Buchanans' house
        1. Is on East Egg, the side of 'old money' where the most rich live.
          1. 'Georgian colonial mansion' Beautiful, expensive house, with 'french windows' almost advertises the wealth of the Buchanans.
            1. Described as being airy, spacious and tastefully decorated. There is the repetition of the colour white, reflecting the purity and elegance of the property.
              1. Contrast of Buchanans' house and Toms flat: spacious-claustrophoic
            2. 'fragilely bound' could reflect the fragility of the performances that all the characters put on and the fragile relationships and foundations they build their lives on.
            3. Nicks House
              1. Cheap in comparison to the houses that surround him. Placed in a perfect position to narrate.
                1. Cheap $80 house could highlight the contrasting wealths.
            4. VOICE
              1. Daisy
                1. Has a musical quality, which entices anyone who is compelled to listen. 'It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down' Even Nick, is enchanted by her charms.
                2. Tom
                  1. 'Gruff, husky tenor'
                    1. His voice portrays his dominance and perhaps his future aggression as 'gruff' might suggest.
                      1. Aggression is confirmed in chapter 2, Tom breaks Myrtles nose.
