Located in Long Island, dozen of flowers blossoming, the house of Gatsby likes a castle of gothic style with exquisite sculptures. The scenes of the movie The Great Gastby are beyond description. In this majestic castle, it held luxury parties, recording the high-living life of Gatsby, a rising capitalist. Furthermore, the castle of Gatsby is regarded as an significant element of the movie because not only did it present the love between Gatsby and Daisy, but also revealed the fantastic dream of capitalism.
The castle of Gatsby is the most necessary element of this film because it is considered as a clue of the love between Gatsby and Daisy, his ex-lover as well as a married women. As the beginning of their love line, Gatsby purposely constructed his castle facing with the castle of Daisy's husband across the bay.
Through the French windows, he overlooked and stretched out his hand as if he was tempted to scrap the spot where she was living. They finally confessed their love and carried on a clandestine love affair in the castle of Gatsby, which became the climax of their love. Although they adored each other, human are always selfish and changeful animals. When the funeral of Gatsby was held in his castle, Daisy did not present, which implied the death of their love. Ultimately, the Gatsby's castle buried both their love and himself. These plots cannot happen in any other places because this castle was built for capturing Daisy's heart by Gatsby and eventually become a tomb of their love.
The other reason is that this castle also revealed the fantastic dream of capitalism. The castle located in Long Island, New York. While the old bourgeois,like Daisy's husband, lived in the "East Egg", the newly rich men, like Gatsby, lived in the "West Egg".At that time, stock reached record peaks and Wall Street boomed in a steady golden market. Therefore, the number of rising capitalist, an unprecedented class, sprouted and they built castle as gorgeous as the old bourgeois did. The castle of Gatsby in the movie is the outcome of the rising capitalist's growth, which actually revealed the newborn American dream. When Gatsby died in his castle, it hinted that the dream has been broken and the drawbacks of capitalism will obstruct American dream coming true. In the movie the castle of Gatsby was compared to the American dream of capitalism. Since it was a meaningful and figurative scene, it is no doubt that the castle is the most significant section of the movie and cannot be replaced.
The story of The Great Gatsby cannot be set in other spots but in the castle of Gatsby because it threaded the love line throughout the film and indicated the consequence of the dream of rising capitalism. As what has mentioned in the movie, "all the bright, precious things fade so fast. And they don't come back."
The castle of Gatsby, the orgastic future prefers to eludes us. But it doesn't matter because people will run faster and stretch out their arms farther, beating on boats against the current ceaselessly into the past.
