Gatsby was once a symbol of wealth and status and how you capilla rise up. But now he just shows how you can’t move forward and back at the same time. #ch9
I just find it weird how we see WWII symbolism in a book that we see written almost 20 years before. Kinda strange (also show how much can change) #ch9
“They... then retreated back to their money...or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess that they made” #nofakeffiends#TGGFake#ch9
So we got what 3 dead so far, and it seems like the ones who are the true culprits are still left standing, I’m looking at you Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan!! #ch8gaysbh
Wilson scare anyone else with that realization of his wife and a mister, but also knowing that the mister he thinks it is isn’t the mister it is, cause same #ch8#tggfake
Gatsby also not going in the pool shows that until now he has kept out of as much throuble, but taking that swim means all the trouble that built around him would soon drown him #ch8#TGGSymbol
The wanting to drain the pool was a symbol for wanting to take away the past and start anew with the life coming in fall, but Gatsby, in his ways was not about to let that happen #ch8
"At two o'clock Gatsby put on his bathing-suit and left word with the butler that if any one phoned word was to be brought to him at the pool" (161). The butler did is it’s always the butler (jk but that would be a fun plot twist in this now grim tale) #ch8#TGGDream
