J. Eckleburg, which had just emerged, pale and enormous, from the dissolving night."

Eckleburg are blue and gigantic- their retinas are one yard long..they look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles ..his eyes brood on over the solemn dumping ground"

Before this quote, Wilson had said "You may fool me, but you can’t fool God!", which he had said to Myrtle when he confronted her. The quote acts as a reminder for Michaelis, as well as the readers, that God [as the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg] is always watching everyone's [particularly the characters'] actions, whether good or bad. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233425825 altran109 https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233430723 2018-02-20 18:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233430723 altran109 https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431017 2018-02-20 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431017 sreyna100 https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431031 The description that is given of the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg is done in a way to have them seen as something more. The eyes are in brighter colors that contrast the  environment it is placed in giving them a sense of superiority from the ashes. Along with the billboard having nothing more than a pair of eyes it gives off the idea that something larger is watching over the people. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431031 altran109 https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431380 2018-02-20 18:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/altran109/q4efda11rq6l/wish/233431380
