笔记
The endpapers contain two maps of the geography of 'The Great Gatsby'. Despite the central role of geographical space as a metaphor for class in
F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous Jazz Age novel, the endpapers here appear to be the earliest printed maps of Gatsby's world.
The Book
The setting of 'The Great Gatsby' is Long Island in the summer of 1922, and the action takes place along a corridor stretching from New York City to the suburbs known as West and East Egg. The Long Island peninsulas of West and East Egg serve as stand-ins for the real life locations of Great Neck and Cow Neck, respectively. Geography is used to define social class throughout the novel: West Egg had people with "new money", such as Gatsby, while East Egg had people with "old money", such as Daisy and Tom. The Valley of Ashes is home to George and Myrtle and the working classes.
Throughout the novel, "space" and "place" represent themes and ideas, and the points of the compass come to represent the societal values and mores. In chapter nine, the novel's narrator, Nick Carraway, concludes:
"I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all—Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life".
"East" is associated with a decadent New York, and "the bad", while "West" represents more traditional moral values - "the good". In this moment, Nick realizes for the first time that, though his story is set on the East Coast, the western character of his acquaintances ("some deficiency in common") is the source of the story's tensions. This perspective motivates Nick's decision to return to Minnesota, as the infeasibility of Nick's Midwestern values in New York society mirrors the impracticality of Gatsby's dream.

The Maps
The front endpaper bears a map 'Long Island East Egg to Manhattan' extending north to south from Westchester County to the southern tip of Manhattan, and west to east from Manhattan to East Egg.
The larger scale map of 'The Valley of the Ashes' occupies the rear endpapers, and shows the area around Flushing, and suggests two possible locations for Wilson's Garage. The Long Island Railway, and Jackson and Roosevelt Avenues feature on both maps.
