courtesy bay,"the two Eggs bear "dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size"(5). The established rich live on the East Egg who are better bred and far more refined while those self-made men who are materialistically rich without social background live on the West Egg. Gatsby, the protagonist, lives on the West Egg. Daisy lives on the East Egg with her husband Tom. The social barrier keeps people of the two worlds apart from one another as embodied by the "courtesy bay" between the two Eggs.

The East-West conflict is primarily about different social values. Gatsby is usually regarded as an integrated embodiment of traditional American values and the material-orientated and pleasure-seeking conception which is popular in the East. In the East, people are accustomed to an aimless and careless way of life. What they are concerned about is material wealth and entertainment. After setting down there, Gatsby is quickly assimilated by the values in the East and the Middle West seems like the raged edge of the universe for him.
