elmontlibrary.orgThe Great Gatsby Talk & Tour Part II: Beneath the Glamour
The second part in our Gatsby talk and tour series takes a closer look at the lives of George and Myrtle Wilson, the servants of East and West Egg, and the Valley of Ashes. We will explore how Fitzgerald portrays the lower classes through the lens of the privileged Nick Carraway and how his personal biases impact the narrative. Join us at Hempstead House for a rare tour of the service areas and a thought-provoking discussion on invisible labor, exploitation, and the human cost of a society obsessed with wealth and status. Please note: This tour involves walking up and down several flights of stairs. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Participation in Part I is not necessary to enjoy Part II
