How do we determine if love changes someone or not? In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and in “anyone live in a pretty how town” by E.E. Cummings, the authors use motifs, imagery, and symbolism to show how love can shape an individual change. Throughout the novel Gatsby has changed for Daisy because he is in love with her and in the poem the speaker anyone changed because noone showed him love .
In the novel, Fitzgerald uses symbolism to represent a deeper meaning. Some examples of symbolism Fitzgerald uses are the green light, Gatsby’s parties, and East and West Egg.

The music was playing higher so that you could hear it from a distance away like across the bay where Daisy is living. At Gatsby 's’ house tour he tries his very hardest to impress Daisy.

This helps the reader conclude that he is showing her all of this to prove that she could have this lifestyle if she were to be with him. The night before Daisy wedding Jordan explains what happened that night to Nick. In chapter five, page 74, Jordan says “ in her flowered dress- and drunk as a monkey. She had a bottle of Sauterne in one hand and a letter in the other”. The reader can insinuate that the Daisy was upset over something because she back then she did not drink and was drunk that night.
