Nick, on the Buchanans: "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"

Daisy, on her newborn girl: "All right...I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool"

Literary elements: character development, setting, narrative style/ perspective, symbolism, motif, tone.

Themes: the importance of family relationships, the acquisition of status/ wealth, the importance of culture/traditions, the true qualities of good character, the importance of romance love/ marriage, the value of honesty, gender roles as defined by culture and custom.

I only need to know how it relates to two or more of these.

Thank you so so much!
