"But no one swooned backward on Gatsby, and no French bob touched Gatsby's shoulder, and no singing quarters were formed with Gatsby's head for one line" (Fitzgerald 50).

This quote showed that Gatsby has everyone life had to offer but he was lonely. He was missing happiness in his life and tired to fill it by making others happy. He had the "American Dream" he made it from nothing but it did not make him happy.

During this era, social class was very knowledgable. It displays how in Daisy's perspective, she claims  her daughter will be praised as a "beautiful little fool". This symbolizes how her social status contributes towards the American Dream of success and wealth. Displaying how her daughter will have the ability to have freedom, and to be young and naive.

“ then came the war old sport. It’s as a great relief and I tried very hard to die but I seemed to bear an enchanted life”(Fitzgerald 71).
His casual nature in saying this highlights his underlying sadness he feels but it also shows he has purpose he has something that keeps him living. Most people try to die and they do but not gatsby

"By seven o'clock the orchestra has arrived, no thin five piece affair, but a whole pitful..." (Fitzgerald 40).
This quote shows the extravagance of Gatsby's American Dream. It doesn't show the bad parts of Gastby's life,  just the glamor and spectacle of this lifestyle.

“I lived at West egg. The - well, the less fashionable of the two though this is a more superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them” (Fitzgerald 24). This quote shows how West Egg and East Egg are seen as. Although West Egg is the "less fashionable of the two" Gatsby lives there which connects to the idea that no matter where you come from, you can succeed in life.

I know this isn't the best quote, I haven't found much for her yet, but it kind of shows Myrtles view on jobholders, saying "all they think of is money" and "most of these fellas will cheat you out. She is very vocal about her opinions and rather hopeful and optimistic about life.

"If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promise of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away"
Gatsby is defined by his gestures, and the way the narrator describes Gatsby tells us that the narrator thinks Gatsby embodies success and hope.

"He hurried the phrase “educated at Oxford,” or swallowed it, or choked on it, as though it had bothered him now. And with this doubt, his whole statement fell to pieces, and I wondered if there wasn’t something a little sinister about him, after all." (Fitzgerald)

This quote shows how Gatsby is trying to embrace the American Dream by convincing Nick that he studied at Oxford.

" am one of the few honest people that I have ever known"

(Fitzgerald 65).

I think that this quote shows how Nick is aware of the actions that people take, and how most of them are selfish acts that are hidden by false intentions. I think this shows that Nick is very different than many of characters which may be why Gatsby had been interested in him.

This quote reveals how Daisy (and Tom) are different from Nick and how there are class clashes. It shows just how wealthy Daisy is, making a new money person feel "uncivilized."
