The Great Gatsby: Symbolism in Chapters 1-4

The most interesting character in my opinion would be Gatsby. He is very quite and likes to study people behind the scenes, at the party he would just sit there and watch people drink alcohol and dance. He also doesn't even drink alcohol when everyone at that period of time did. He gets these phone calls a lot from Chicago which I think is a foreshadow of him having to do something with the prohibition. He symbolizes the color yellow, shows that he is a nice guy but may not show it all the time in actions but by himself he does.
