He has a sophisticated taste, and has the money to indulge it. Due to this being at a party, the reader can also infer that he enjoys sharing this type of entertainment through parties with other people.]]> 2020-04-13 05:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22skollen1_1/8f0sj1hhltp6bakz/wish/504091953 22skollen1_1 https://padlet.com/22skollen1_1/8f0sj1hhltp6bakz/wish/504092275 This quote shows that Nick enjoys sophisticated music, as he is impressed and delighted by the orchestra at the party. ]]> 2020-04-13 05:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22skollen1_1/8f0sj1hhltp6bakz/wish/504092275 22skollen1_1 https://padlet.com/22skollen1_1/8f0sj1hhltp6bakz/wish/504092708

I don’t see any evidence of disillusionment in this quote.

“Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission.” (41)

In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam.” (p.39)

However, he often does not know most of the people who show up, so it is very impersonal, and only about there being a party, and not about the people at the party.

Nick is seeing these huge parties with people having fun. However, when he gets there, they are much less exciting than they appeared to be. This quote sets the hopes high, which are often not met by reality.
