Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, Gatsby drives a yellow Rolls-Royce, and since the most popular model from the British automaker in 1922 was the 40/50 HP, aka the Silver Ghost, it’s a good bet that’s what the image-obsessed Gatsby would have purchased.

Chapter 5 introduces the heart of the matter: Gatsby’s dream of Daisy. Through Nick, Gatsby is brought face-to-face with the fulfillment of a dream that he has pursued relentlessly for the past five years of his life. Everything he has done has been, in some sense, tied to his pursuit of Daisy.

The rain also symbolizes Daisy’s tears later in the chapter. Thus, the rain symbolizes the clouded relationship between Gatsby and Daisy. When Nick makes his quick escape to the tree, the rain begins to pour down again while Gatsby and Daisy are together in the house.

The automatic quality of Gatsby’s answer set us all back at least another minute. I had them both on their feet with the desperate suggestion that they help me make tea in the kitchen when the demoniac Finn brought it in on a tray. This tells us a few things. One is that Gatsby is acutely conscious of time.

Cars are symbolically represented by the way a character drives, its color, and the murders that a car can commit. Driving in The Great Gatsby is symbolic to the carelessness of the rich in the 1920s. Fitzgerald conveys this throughout the characters in the novel.

Gatsby’s yellow Rolls Royce represents corruption and deceit. Gatsby buys this car to promote his wealthy facade to others, while this very car is also used by Daisy to run over and kill Myrtle.
