East Egg vs West Egg

In the story there are two major cities mentioned. They are East Egg and West Egg. In general, the people of East Egg tend to be more wealthy than the people of West Egg.

East Egg is home to many rich families. They live in large, lavish homes that demonstrate their extreme wealth. These people more than not drive the nicest cars, have the nicest boats, and live in nicer/cleaner neighborhoods. Characters such as Tom and Daisy live in East Egg.

West Egg, however is home to the lower-middle to upper-middle class people. The houses aren't as large and elegant and overall the lifestyle of the residents isn't as graceful as the people of East Egg. An example of a person that lives in West Egg is the narrorator of the story Nick.

However, there is one very grand spectacle in West Egg that stands out above all the rest of the houses. This structure is the Gatsby residence. It is a huge mansion in which many extravagant parties are thrown and everybody around attends.
