Student Comments comparing East Egg with the paintings of El Greco.
The Great Gatsby - Diversion
Studying the reference made to El Greco.
Passage from the novel that triggered this related study:
"Even when the East excited me most, even when I was most keenly aware of its superiority to the bored sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which spared only the children and the very old........ - even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. West Egg, especially still figures in my more fantastic dreams. I see it as a night scene by El Greco.'
