THE GREAT GATSBYY
大王大王
Trace the use of the color white in the novel. When does it falsify a sense of innocence? When does it symbolize true innocence?

CountingSheepWhite generally symbolizes purity, innocence and beauty, but in the novel the author gives white horror, death, evil and nihility symbolic meaning. When Daisy met Gatsby for the first time, she wore white clothes and drove a white sports car. The white surface symbolized Daisy's purity and beauty, but in essence, it symbolized Daisy's emptiness and shallowness in her heart. Daisy lived in a white palatial mansion after her marriage, and the curtains were also white, which symbolized Daisy's idleness and spiritual emptiness after her marriage. In the material world of the east, the desire for money and material desire has already twisted her into a greedy, empty, selfish vulgar woman. The mansion gatsby bought was also white and the suit he wore when he dated Daisy was also white. Gatsby was also empty and had no other pursuit except to pursue Daisy again and get Daisy. Even though Gatsby possessed more wealth, he could not save her fallen soul, which was the essence of Daisy, and the white here also had a strong irony.
