Gatsby's Parties - Carlos and Joe - 5th

The Symbol- Gatsby’s Parties
Gatsby’s Parties did not just hold a symbol on its own, but more of an amalgam of details, all holding symbols within them, which portrayed the society of the 1920’s. The 1920’s society could be described as one that is careless, selfish, and “living for the now”. The guests of the parties did not know who Gatsby was yet attended nonetheless. Some of the party goers go to his parties even without invitation, showing recklessness. As common as they go in and out of his house shows how they come in and out of his life, which reveals the people who don’t hold consistency and caring.

Quote: “Dressed up in white flannels I went over to his lawn a little after seven, and wandered around rather ill at ease among swirls and eddies of people I didn’t know—though here and there was a face I had noticed on the commuting train.” (Fitzgerald, Ch 3)

“I believe that few people were actually invited to these parties. They just went.”(Fitzgerald)
