It not only gives us an indication of Gatsby's enormous wealth, but it also offers the reader insight to his personality. Your explanation for this quote was insightful, and I agree with you about showing the "hollowness of arisocratic society". It was good to point out Daisy's repeated use of the word "fool" when describing her future girl. I think another explanation for the use of this quote would be to highlight and satarize the morals and mindset that was in the aristocratic society of the Roaring Twenties.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736449728666121832noreply@blogger.com
