The Red Queen's Castle

280 Words2 Pages

The Red Queen’s castle is gloomy and full of red (a colour that denotes violence/blood/death) whereas the White Queen’s castle is bright and full of white (a colours that denotes innocence/purity/goodness)

    Along with the innocence and pure beauty white represents it also symbolizes empty, vacuity, superficiality, ruthlessness and selfishness to a large extent in the book. Contrary to her outward beauty, Daisy exhibits corrupt, empty, and selfish intentions. Fitzgerald new use of the color white illustrates the facade Daisy puts up to hide her snobbish and conceited view of her life style. From the very start of the book Fitzgerald uses white to describe the luxury of the upper class when he talks about Daisy and Tom's house saying "their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay" (Fitzgerald 6). Daisy's lives a lifetime full of nothing except luxurious things.

  • What Does The Mansion Symbolize In The Great Gatsby

    175 Words  | 1 Pages

    While the use of colors mostly explains Gatsby himself, Gatsby’s mansion is also another symbolic reference that applies to the character. The huge scale of the mansion shows an immense amount of wealth but the inside of it is too vacant for one person to live in it, just like how Gatsby appears to be rich but is really lonely. Yet he tries to justify this emptiness by filling it with people every week during his parties, similarly to how he justifies how he got his fortune by making Daisy his entire focus. As a matter of fact, the entire mansion symbolizes his passion for her by using the “new money” from West Egg to build a house that is on par with the “old money” of East Egg, the people who took Daisy away from him. What may seem like a

  • What Does The Color Green Symbolize In The Great Gatsby

    495 Words  | 2 Pages

    White symbolizes purity and innocence but later in the novel it turns into false purity and innocence. Fitzgerald used “white” often when Nick arrived at Tom and Daisy's house for the first time, “The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house”(Fitzgerald 8), this sentence also connects the color green with daisy by saying the grass seemed to grow a way into the house. In chapter 1, Fitzgerald describes Daisy in an innocent way, “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 … hour” (Fitzgerald 9). The thought of white being pure eventually turned into false purity, the characters were not actually pure and innocent. For example, when Gatsby wanted to meet Daisy for the first time in five years, “he wore a white suit as if to show that he was good and pure, when in reality he was not” (Wallace).
