Ruby DeFelice 11/14/12 Pd. 2 Mr Brennan Treat parties are abundant every throughout the new The Great Gatsby. Luxurious bashes thrown by simply Jay Gatsby attract the “foul dust” of East and West egg like moths to a lamp.

All those in presence at Gatsby’s parties often be the elite foam of the earth caring for no one and nothing except their own personal social reputations. Two situations are particularly highly relevant to the development of the novel, the consistently present soirees and Gatsby’s memorial together light up the realities of the attendees values, develop the readers empathy towards Gatsby, and help discover a more deeply moral.

A huge selection of wealthy fools show up for Gatsby’s mansion prepared for any fun loaded night of ingesting and intoxicated antics. Night after evening people arrive to Gatsby’s, their generous host, garbage his residence, drink his alcohol and still have a grand old time. One could think Gatsby is a popular man with many friends and loved ones, by least that is what his popular celebrations allude. Yet no one in attendance generally seems to know who Gatsby really is at all. Guests in Gatsby’s house, not really knowing who the man can be, twitter rumors about him for hours never really knowing the truth, never really caring to be aware of.

Gatsby’s a lot more full of folks who use him, in other words his life is vacant, a fact we all don’t completely understand the severity of until his funeral.

One man even has the audacity to call Nick, the protagonist, each day before Gatsby’s funeral looking for his tennis shoes! Of course this individual cant achieve the burial of his once nice host as a result of prior eat outside plans! The sad truth of Gatsby’s lonesomeness and the leeches that took benefit of him finalize their appearance during his burial and trigger the reader to succumb to a powerful empathetic frame of mind toward the late Jay Gatsby.

Through Gatsby’s functions and his funeral service emerges a deeper that means of individual hope. Gatsby believed in the green light for the future, the light that although you may hardly ever reach will almost always be there beckoning to you. Gatsby is alone from the start in addition to the end drops dead alone, however, one person this individual cares most about, his “green light”, doesn’t appear to care enough to show for his memorial.
