I was wondering if someone was going to mention this. F. Scott Fitzgerald purposely wrote this book with the intention of talking about the corruption of the wealthy in the 1920s and how the impoverished class was left with cleaning their messes up. In fact, the entire theme of the book was about the deconstruction of the American Dream, and how the wealthy will never see you as "one of them", even if you achieve financial success through hard work.

That's why there was so many parallels to white as purity and yellow as corruption in the book too. And why one of the main characters, Daisy, seemed like she was a sweet, innocent person, but was corrupted enough to do a hit and run on a girl and let Gatsby take the blame for it without batting an eyelash. The Great Gatsby was never about glamorizing the 20s or about a love story. It was about obsession, class interaction, and how the corrupt can be hidden in plain sight.
