When Wilson is described like this it can be inferred he was destroyed by the death of Myrtle. The eyes of god (T.J.

'God sees everything,' repeated Wilson.'" Wilson takes the wide, overseeing eyes of the billboard as the eyes of God. In a way, Dr. Eckleburg is the only one in the story who has been able to see everything, and judge accordingly. This makes Wilson different from everyone else in the story because it shows that he is God fearing, where everyone else believes that due to their status, they are untouchable. Wilson is the only one who isn't careless with his life or his love, leaving behind the pattern of everyone else in the book.]]> 2018-03-13 15:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_white21/58egjynj8e2h/wish/241457621 Kyler Garrison https://padlet.com/jennifer_white21/58egjynj8e2h/wish/242091761 Fitzgerald suggests that Wilson is a man of God. It can be inferred from the description of how Wilson is staring at the eyes of Dr. TJ Eckleburg after Myrtle’s death that Wilson values the qualities of faith and love.  Looking at them as if they were the eyes of God looking down on everyone, he states, “I spoke to her,” he muttered, after a long silence. “I told her she might fool me but she couldn’t fool God. I took her to the window.” With an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it, “—and I said ‘God knows what you’ve been doing, everything you’ve been doing. You may fool me but you can’t fool God!’ “
Standing behind him Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg which had just emerged pale and enormous from the dissolving night.
“God sees everything,’” repeated Wilson.

It is obvious from this passage that Wilson is a man of god.

wilson is characterized as a man of honesty and transparence, as this quote shows that he acts knowing god never misses anything.

By using the phrase "incoherent" and "began to talk about", Fitzgerald suggests that Wilson gained focus towards the yellow car that killed his wife.

I don't think he is that different from Tom. The only difference is education and money. Maybe he truly values honesty and faithfullness but this just made him look like a jerk.

With the statement . ‘I told her she might fool me but she couldn’t fool God. I took her to the window—’ With an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it, ‘—and I said ‘God knows what you’ve been doing, ev-erything you’ve been doing. You may fool me but you can’t fool God!" We can infer that he likely lives much of his life under the same scrutiny; living up to the godly and masculine position as "man of the house" in this time. While we could imply that he lives his life with the moral dignity of God, his willingness to impose "God's will" and his punishment characterize him as a religious nutcase. ]]> 2018-04-15 12:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_white21/58egjynj8e2h/wish/251878588 Luke Hansen https://padlet.com/jennifer_white21/58egjynj8e2h/wish/261333991 From this chapter we can see that Wilson is someone who is very vengeful and irrational person. When Myrdal die we can see that Wilson was very hurt by this. But he was also very hurt when he figured out that she was cheating on him. In the after math after Myrdal was hit by the car Wilson keep saying, "I have a way of finding out". Wilson is saying that he has a way of finding out who killed Myrdal. And we can she that is will almost do anything to avenge her death and get back at the person who she cheated on him with. ]]> 2018-05-16 18:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_white21/58egjynj8e2h/wish/261333991
