This allows Fitzgerald to express messages or ideas found important and meaningful indirectly and sometimes leaving the symbol open for the readers’ perception.

The Valley of the ashes characterises dullness and decay, Dr Eckleburg’s eyes, observed as the eyes of God as well as Gatsby’s infatuation with the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. These symbols are tremendously important as they help to develop the true themes and meanings of the novel.

Within the Christian faith, there lies the belief that all mankind are born sinners and through their faith can seek redemption.

An example of this can be found in the Genesis chapter of the Bible which portrays that even the very first Humans ever to be created in God’s image, named Adam and Eve, defied God despite his pre-emptive warnings not too because of their natural tendency as humans to sin. Not only can one chose with their own will to disobey God but one’s faith can be easily swayed by the evils of the world therefore sin can forever bind them in chains for eternity. “Young Goodman Brown,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, reveals a similar

A symbol of wings represents Eli due to his desire for freedom. Notably, Eli exists as a free spirit. Henceforth, he accomplishes what he pleases and follows his heart. Moreover, he longs for adventure and fun, such as when he tells Lexi that “‘the school of life is a better choice than Stanford for me,’” (Omololu 22).
