(88)

This quote relates Gatsy's mansion to a place of worship, and in this specific instance to Kant's tool for understanding the world. Nick views Gatsby's house as a thing of wonder, but not just that as Gatsby's house is so enormous that the person has no choice but to look at it. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jchen103/tfiv3hlabmc9/wish/233434435 ewynn100 https://padlet.com/jchen103/tfiv3hlabmc9/wish/233435844 "His bedroom was the simplest room of all..."

It shows Gatsby's intentions when designing his house and in turn, his personality. He keeps all the wealth and extravagant objects outside his room where people can view them while the alcove where he lives is kept modest for he only lives to impress others, not himself. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jchen103/tfiv3hlabmc9/wish/233435844 ewynn100 https://padlet.com/jchen103/tfiv3hlabmc9/wish/233436141 "I love it, but I don't see how you live there all alone." (90)

Daisy's quote of Gatsby's mansion is straightforward but also deep in meaning. Gatsby's mansion is hollow so he has to fill it up with people, however those people are unattached and impersonal. In relation, Gatsby's heart could just be as empty without companionship or flattery from Daisy. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jchen103/tfiv3hlabmc9/wish/233436141
