Gatsby's Car (L/R)

Gatsby's car is just another representation of his wealth, along with dreams and new beginnings. "It was a rich cream colour, bright with nickel, swollen here and there in its monstrous length with triumphant hat-boxes and supper-boxes and tool-boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of wind-shields that mirrored a dozen suns. ...behind many layers of glass in a sort of green leather conservatory." (64) The cream and nickel colours are like gold and represent his wealth and power, while the light shining through the glass windshields and green leather seats both represent something similar - hope and dreams he has for a relationship with Daisy, but green is also the colour of money. (R)
Cars are represented as symbols of power. We can see this power being misused when Wolfshiem describes how Rosy Rosenthal walked outside where "they shot him three times in his full belly and drove away." (page). This illustrated how people with wealth are corrupt. (L)

Daisy's Dress & Car (L/R)

Daisy in the past "dressed in white, and had a little white roadster." (74) When she is younger, she is pure and without the corruption of money, though she was born into money. She was very popular and all the young officers loved her. (R)
Daisy also wore a "flowered dress" (76) to her bridal dinner. This connects to her purity and to her name as well. (L)

Illusions (L)

Gatsby is seen in two different lights. Gatsby tells Nick of his past, Nick notes that "He looked at me sideways - and I knew why Jordan Baker had believed he was lying. He hurried the phrase 'educated at Oxford'..." (65). Later, they meet Mr. Wolfshiem who says "I understand you're looking for a business gonnegtion" (75). Which Nick then answers "Oh, no, this isn't the man... This is just a friend. I told you we'd talk about that some other time" (71). We see Gatsby as a shady character and it raises questions on how he knows Wolfshiem.
Then when Nick meets Jordan for tea, she reveals Gatsby and Daisy's past relationship. Jordan tells Nick about how Gatsby has been looking for Daisy. He's bought a house close to hers, checking newspapers, and arranging parties hoping she would come. As Jordan speaks we see Gatsby as a lost soldier seeking his lover.

Party Guests (L)

Nick names all of the people that have come to Gatsby's house that summer. This describes people from East and West Egg and New York. From East Egg, a "...whole clan named Blackbuck... flipped up their noses like goats at whosoever came near" (62). Clarence Endive "...came only once, in white knickerbockers, and had a fight with a bum named Etty in the garden." (62). Snell was "...so drunk out on the gravel that Mrs. Ulysses Swett's automobile ran over his right hand." (62) From West Egg, G. Earl Muldoon  "...brother to that Muldoon who afterward strangled his wife." (62). "Ferret and the De Jongs and Enest Lilly... came to gamble. From New York, "Benny McClenahan arrived always with four girls." (63).
From this list we see many individuals. They which consider each other very different each other but in the end we just see them all as snobby.

More Colour Symbolism in Chapter FOUR (R)

Mr. Wolfshiem is a shady character. Nick says that when looking at him, he "discovered his tiny eyes in the half-darkness." The darkness represents the truth about where Gatsby's money came from.

The metal decoration Gatsby received from Montenegro is a gold-ish coloured. It shows the accomplishment achieved.

When Gatsby takes Nick out, he is wearing a cream-coloured suit, showing his corruption of wealth. White represents pureness, which cream is a dirtied white colour.

On the Queensboro bridge, "a dead man passed [them] in a hearse...followed by two carriages with drawn blinds, and by more cheerful carriages for friends." (68) This shows the darkness of death going into the city. This also foreshadows an important event that occurs later in the story...

They also pass by a limousine "driven by a white chauffeur, in which sat three modish negroes." "I laughed aloud as the yolks of their eyeballs rolled toward us in haughty rivalry. (69) The passengers are dark-skinned and represent the corruption of money and power.
