My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial vie

w of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month. Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there.
What message do phrases such as "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" convey to the reader?

Answer:

Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a story about the protagonist Jay Gatsby's tragic story of his pursuit of his young love Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is a wealthy young woman married to Tom Buchanan, while Jay is a self made millionaire.

The story is narrated by Nick Carraway who had moved to this part of town. He is seen describing his house in chapter 1, saying that his <em>"own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore.......</em>". His use of the phrases <em>"the consoling proximity of millionaires"</em> and<em> "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" </em>shows that Nick considers financial wealth desirable. He says that staying in close proximity to millionaires is consoling, and the houses in East Egg are fashionable white palaces, glittering, looking attractive in comparison to his own house in West Egg.
