The many mentions of time throughout the novel emphasize Gatsby's desire to reset the clock on their relationship. Another common theme in the novel is the cultural clash between the Midwest, where Fitzgerald and his characters are from, and the Eastern United States, where they live. The Midwest is depicted as representing traditional American values of honesty, optimism, and innocence, in contrast to the corrupting materialism of the East.
