I believe Fitzgerald and Luhrmann chose to use this color for Gatsby’s suit to display romance. Gatsby has been in love with Daisy for so long and he discusses their romance often while wearing the pink suit. He also shows his innocence of being unaware of the love Daisy also had for Tom. He is not innocent in the sense that he was with a married women but he was innocent because he was naive to the idea of Daisy loving Tom too.]]> 2022-05-11 18:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/zr8mzslj5593rdxn/wish/2179940359 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/zr8mzslj5593rdxn/wish/2179940412 Gatsbys car was yellow to show how cheerful and joyful gatsby and Daisy are towards another]]> 2022-05-11 18:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/zr8mzslj5593rdxn/wish/2179940412 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/zr8mzslj5593rdxn/wish/2179940659 Gatsby wore black swim suit because he was in danger.
