This quote tells the reader that he is a man who is incapable of saying criticism.

The setting in the book is West and East egg but in the real world it's Long Island and New York City. Other connections I can make is the character Nick Carraway.

The reason for this song would be when Gatsby sparks his relationship again with Daisy.
