E.G. The constant reference to white used to describe the ‘palaces’ of the wealthy, daisy’s ‘white childhood’ and finally reference to Tom’s view of ‘white’ supremacy. This contributes to the ongoing process of the book, as it presents the idea of a gain in wealth relating to the white palaces which then leads on to an evil ‘white supremacist’ view of Tom, through the attainment in wealth and the leading ways.
