https://padlet.com/gmarlowe/ije1wzm3dyzd The Stratification of the Social Classes: Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald makes comparisons between old money, new money, and no money. Each of these groups has a specific place in society. No money, represented by Myrtle, tries to climb the ladder into the next class but is constantly thwarted by the new-money class. New money—Gatsby—is also trying to climb the social ladder, but meets the resistance of the old money, represented by Daisy and Tom. The motif of geography is used here to help develop this theme as each location represents a particular class of people. en-us 2016-11-15 15:12:06 UTC 2025-12-17 01:28:50 UTC hello@padlet.com raymondwacha https://padlet.com/gmarlowe/ije1wzm3dyzd/wish/138285550 Page 84.
