Image And Symbolism In The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

The quote, along with the image, show that people really only know Gatsby for his money because of his car, house, and the parties. Anything that is said to be true about him until the end of the book were just rumors, such as that he once killed a man or that he participated in illegal activity with Wolfshiem.

The quote and image represent Gatsby’s obsession for Daisy and that he would do nearly anything to get her to leave Tom and live with him. The lack of people in the background represents the fact that Gatsby fired all of his existing butlers and canceled his parties after finally making contact with Daisy. It also represents that Gatsby had always used the parties as a way to find Daisy, and finally make contact after the war.
