“Red is associated with blood, so it is the symbol of violence, danger, and rage”. (Haibing 42) An example of the way red was used was the red and gold books in Nick’s possession. “Nick has a shelf full of gold and red books” (Haibing 42), that he bought all by himself and did not steal them from Gatsby.
