Number one similarity between Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway is the location oftheir establishment. Both Jay Gatsby and Nick Carrawy live in the same neighborhood,West Egg. This is the least fashionable of the two but still a nice place to live.
Although Jay Gatsby is not middleclass, he is not considered to live at East Egg because Jay Gatsby did not inherit hisparents money who inherited it from their parents, he worked for it. Jay Gatsby also enricheshis social status by throwing huge keggers at his mansion. The otherneighborhood is East Egg and that is where all the rich people with their old money andmansions lived.
