What Techniques Does F. Scott Fitzgerald Use When Describing the Lights and Colors of Gatsby’s Party?

Fitzgerald uses many different literary techniques and vivid when describing the visible radiations and colours of the company to exaggerate the sense of how bright the infirms and colours of his parties are. He seems to say that the twinkle of the gays at Gatsbys party are equivalent to the those of the solarise. He writes that the light grows brighter as the earth lurches a vogue from the sun he is talking nearly the sun going down and everything becoming darker, however he then says that the light grows brighter which suggests that as the sunlight goes away Gatsbys lights go up so high that they balance out the light lost from the sun going down.This shoes us just how bright Gatsbys lights in reality are, they are bright enough to replace the sun when it has gone down. That gives an whimsy of the party keeping the night alive and moving which gives a affiliate of life to the light that Gatsby has at his party. Fitzgerald then goes on to talk of light and colour in a lot less positive way than he previously has. he describes the guests clothes as rubbishy with primary colours which is describing how bright and colourful charge the guests are at Gatsbys parties.The guests clothes are not nice and scour though they consist of very simple primary colours they even manage to everyplacedo this with them then being described as gaudy, which means that they are just too bright. This translation is strikingly alike to the description of the light at Gatsbys parties. We get the sense that although both of them are very simple they are just too over indulgent and bright.This also reflects on the guests personalities with all of them trying to be the brightest of them all. Gatsby uses this description i think to try and tell us that everything at Gatsbys parties scream bright lights and colours not just the lights themselves. I think this is somewhat to help the reader with later descriptions that he makes somewhat light and colour so that they unders tand that he may not be literally talking about the lights or the colours but about another aspect of the party.
