The relationship between spending habits and social position is inextricable. Just as Gatsby strives to become a member of the traditional upper social class, like Tom and Daisy. His conspicuous consumption is proof that he deserves Daisy. But is consumption capable of reshaping class divisions? Yet he is rejected by Daisy again in the summer of 1923. There is an insurmountable gap between Gatsby and old money - a gap that cannot be bridged by money - and that is taste. Gatsby simply buys all the expensive products, but his lack of aesthetic judgment reveals his true identity as a crude and vulgar person. Bourdieu proposes a theory of social space based on the aesthetic judgment of taste in A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste according to which aesthetic dispositions, namely aesthetic preference, influence the choice of material, and the material itself functions as a symbolic figure to show the buyer. social space in the world. This may explain why Gatsby's conspicuous consumption cannot contribute to raising his social status, because the products he owns are not the badge of the upper social class – he does not have the good taste in choosing products aesthetic. The clues that Gatsby is a vulgar, rude person are also found in Gatsby's parties which were "brilliance, confusion, magnificence, audacity, vulgarity, excess and excitement". He never organizes a formal social gathering but a house party for everyone to enjoy the vibrant nightlife with extravagant services. Guests wear fashionable clothes and cut their hair to his parties, but usually drink themselves into a stupor before returning home. "Old men push young girls backwards in eternal, graceless circles", and a drunken girl plays the piano, singing and crying in the middle of a paper...... "the kind of man you would like to take home and present to your mother and sister(78).” Wolfshiem is barbaric enough to confuse Oxford University with a “university” and does not quite understand the “learned” social ways of Gatsby. As for leisure courses like Tom, he has the sense to understand the differences between the Old Money and the New Money Tom is not comfortable with Gatsby's inappropriate behavior and bad taste, and he gets himself. feels even more disgusted by Gatsby's source of money He despises Gatsby and calls him "Mr. Nobody" and his West Egg mansion a "menagerie" and a "piggery" (115, 136). Not to mention that Daisy is hypnotized by Gatsby's dazzling surroundings, she still doesn't want to marry him. Gatsby's conspicuous consumption elevates him to celebrity status in New York, but he remains a doorbreaker who has nothing to do with it. no class and no taste for the traditional Old Money elite..
