Thanks - this is a really good question for Gatsby and your ideas are good as well! Line of thought clear: linking setting in time and place to theme of social class divide. You could expand on them especially final paragraph: yes all the characters come together in New York but what happens there? Remember this is the turning point during which Tom exposes and attacks Gatsby, Daisy changes her mind about running away with Gatsby and his fate is sealed - he has lost her and dies shortly afterwards in his swimming pool. Therefore Fitzgerald is saying that at the time, there was a glass ceiling in place whereby Gatsby, as a working class, self made man, could never marry into or become one of the aristocracy.
