In novels, the use of symbols makes the story interesting and essential to the readers. Symbols are messages that the author uses to communicate with the reader for deeper understanding, although sometimes they can only be discovered if analyzed. Fitzgerald connects the different symbols throughout the novel to identify an elaborate meaning of the story, but it indicates a pleasant meaning. A symbol such as "color" or "silver" may be less complex than it seems. While a symbol as complicated as "the eye" can mean more than is suggested. Throughout The Great Gatsby, symbolism represents color, the existence of eyes and money. The color symbolism is repetitive throughout the novel. The colors represent the personalities of different characters and their actions. An important symbolic color in The Great Gatsby is green light. The color green itself is associated with spring, money, hope and youth. The green light represents something more substantial; this represents more than just hope for Daisy's return, but also a unclear future. Nick said that Gatsby believes in the green light, in the “organic future.” Although the green light is that of the future, Gatsby is still immersed in dreams of the past. White traditionally symbolizes purity and innocence, and there is no doubt that Fitzgerald wants to emphasize the ironic disparity between Daisy and Jordan's apparent purity and their actual corruption. The emphasis on the color yellow is represented by decadence and corruption. Gatsby's car is the most important symbol in the novel. It became the main topic of the townspeople after killing the myrtle and letting an eyewitness clarify that the monotony throughout the novel is expressed through the color gray.
