Question

What might his house represent, in his mind? Think about what he is trying to show Daisy. Why does Gatsby “revalue” his possessions as Daisy tours his mansion? What does Daisy think of his house, and why is her reaction important to Gatsby?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey my dude. The house Gatsby lives in can ultimately be taken in two ways. It represents the glamour and grandness (as well as the emptiness) of the 1920s boom. Gatsby comes from “new money”, and since I am not sure how far you are, I don’t want to spoil it more from there, so Gatsby’s house also symbolizes his love for Daisy. He wants to use his house to impress Daisy and rival the people who comes from “old money” since they are mostly elitist, making her reaction very important to him since everything he does is for her love. I hope this was clear enough.
