Fitzgerald, F. Scott. The Great Gatsby. New York, NY: Scribner, 1996. Print.

New York

“The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic [...] they look out [...] from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles” (Fitzgerald 23).

“Wilson? He thinks she goes to see her sister in New York. He’s so dumb he doesn’t know he’s alive” (Fitzgerald 26).

His feet “were startlingly white” (Fitzgerald 28).

Nick observes on the wall in the hotel room; “a hen sitting on a blurred rock. Looked at from a distance, however, the hen resolved itself into a bonnet, and the countenance of a stout old lady” (Fitzgerald 29).

“The whiskey distorted things, because it didn’t make any sense” (Fitzgerald 29).

Valley of Ashes

The Valley is “a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air” (Fitzgerald 23).

The town is swarming with “gray cars” and “ash-gray men”.

“‘Terrible place, isn’t it,’ [...] exchanging a frown with Doctor Eckleburg” (Fitzgerald 26).

Myrtle Wilson

George Wilson

Myrtle

George

”It’s really his wife that are keeping them apart” (Fitzgerald 33).

She is “a thickish figure of a woman [...] faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can [...] the nerves of her body were continually smouldering” (Fitzgerald 25).

“He was a blond, spiritless man, anæmic, and faintly handsome” (Fitzgerald 25).

“He’s so dumb he doesn’t know he’s alive" (Fitzgerald 26).

East Egg

Tom and Daisy are “enormously wealthy” (Fitzgerald 6), and live “Across the courtesy bay white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water” (Fitzgerald 5).

“Even in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach” (Fitzgerald 6).

Tom is a man with “a hard mouth and supercilious manner”, and “a body capable of enormous leverage” (Fitzgerald 7).

Tom

“Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget” (Fitzgerald 9).

“‘What’ll we plan?’ She turned to me helplessly: ‘What do we plan?’” (Fitzgerald 11).

“Then suddenly she threw her napkin on the table and excused herself and went into the house” (Fitzgerald 14).

She “was a golf champion, and everyone knew her name”

(Fitzgerald 57).

“She was incurably dishonest” (Fitzgerald 58).

“At her first big golf tournament there was a row that nearly reached the newspaper- a suggestion that she had moved her ball from a bad lie in the semi-final round” (Fitzgerald 57).

A “sturdy straw-haired man”, with “a body capable of enormous leverage” (Fitzgerald 7).

His “shining arrogant eyes” is a very intense and intimidating character (Fitzgerald 7).

“When we stopped by the ash heaps he jumped to his feet and, taking hold of my elbow, literally forced me from the car” (Fitzgerald 24).

“His determination to have my company bordered on violence” (Fitzgerald 24).

WEST EGG

“It had enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of Gatsby’s enormous garden. On buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors d'oeuvre, spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold” (Fitzgerald 40).

Jay Gatsby

Nick Carraway

Gatsby

Nick

"A figure {that} had emerged from the shadow of my neighbor’s mansion and was standing with his hands in his pockets regarding the silver pepper of the stars” (Fitzgerald 20).

"Distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away” (Fitzgerald 21).

"If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him [...] as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away" (Fitzgerald 2).

“I’m inclined to reserve all judgements, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me” (Fitzgerald 1).

"I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever” (Fitzgerald 2).
