To begin with, the yellow dresses worn by the guests at Gatsby's party symbolize the artificiality of their presence. They're not there to be with Gatsby; they are there solely to use it. They happily enjoy his drinks, find men to sleep with, dance to his orchestras, and meet new friends. They don't care who they are taking advantage of and have no respect for the guest. This is demonstrated when an owl's eyes talk about how they "went there by the hundreds" (Fitzgerald 175). It shows how he is surprised that no one else showed up, realized that no one else cared about him, they only came for his handouts. Additionally, the orchestra that plays every weekend plays fast-paced jazz, called Charleston dancing. Nick once calls it “yellow cocktail music” (Fitzgerald 40). By saying this he elides the fact that there are all kinds of artificial people at his party. Yellow is similar to gold; it symbolizes wealth, but it also symbolizes the fact that the entire party, including the music, is just one big ruse. The reader later finds out that it was all an effort to get Daisy's attention. Finally there is Gatsby's car. It is a bright yellow sports car (Fitzgerald 141). Once again yellow symbolizes the false facade created by Gatsby. He acts as if he is a great man and as if he is accustomed to great wealth
