The Gatsby home doesn't actually exist, but Long Island historians say Fitzgerald was renting a house in Great Neck, Long Island, when he was inspired to write The Great Gatsby. To get a taste of the Gatsby life and times, you can visit and stay in the Oheka Castle in Huntington, Long Island.
The American Dream
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is often included alongside books such as Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath as exemplars of the great American novel. Not only are they brilliantly written, but they also examine core aspects of what it is to be an American.
Gatsby's House
Because The Great Gatsby is a book about wealth, money, and one's position in society, consumer objects play a big role in the story. Characters' choices of clothes, cars, and homes say a lot about them and serve as symbols, or objects in a story that represent a larger idea or theme. One of the central symbolic objects is Gatsby's house.
West Egg and East Egg
Gatsby's house is symbolically important for its location. A large part of the book takes place on the twin peninsulas of West Egg, where Gatsby and Nick live, and East Egg, where Tom and Daisy Buchanan live.
