By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived—no thin five-piece affair but a whole pitiful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos and low and high drums."

Damn Gatsby doesn't skimp on the entertainment.

Damn all the help Gatsby has to throw these ridiculously wild parties. Its nuts.

Damn girl living out what I bet is most people’s office fantasy role plays here.

Lol Russell’s pretending to be seasick performance is hilarious.

Nooooo girl he likes you he’s just too dumb to tell you 😂 Okay not dumb but you know what I mean!

Okay these guys are way too cute.

Falling in love in love on a road trip okayyyy

Meh, that party didn't sound like a fun time for Nick.

Making a short deft movement Tom Buchanan broke her
nose with his open hand.

Thats my final straw regarding Tom Buchanan.

Not really a fan of Myrtle either. Are any of these characters decent people?

Funny how people at this party don't know enough about Gatsby to the point that one person is like "oh yeah I'm afraid of him."

Tom just keeps getting worse and worse.

Why would Tom invite Nick to meet his mistress on purpose? Lol if this happened into today's day in age, I'd be spiling the tea to a girlfriend about a side piece.

Ah, Doctor T. J. Eckleburg. We meet again.

I can't remember what symbolism this sign represents...

"When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness."

Damn what a great way to subtly introduce Gatsby to the reader. I love it, he's so mysterious.

" ...distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock."

THE AMERICAN DREAM? IS THAT YOU MY DARLING?

"But I didn’t call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he
was content to be alone."

How studious of you to notice Nick.

"...fifty feet away a figure had
emerged from the shadow of my neighbor’s mansion and
was standing with his hands in his pockets regarding the
silver pepper of the stars."

ENTER: Gatsby.

"Did you give Nick a little heart to heart talk on the veranda?’"

Did you really mean to say, "Did you tell Nick was an absolutely bore of a husband I am?"

‘I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

Ah the famous Daisy quote.

"‘Why——’ she said hesitantly, ‘Tom’s got some woman in New York.’"

ANOTHER reason to detest Tom.

"‘Don’t talk. I want to hear what happens."

Daisy is here for the tea, spill the tea!

Wait, she's not gonna finish the story about the Butler's nose? And she randomly tells Nick that he smells like a rose?

‘Tom’s getting very profound,’ said Daisy with an expression of unthoughtful sadness. ‘He reads deep books with
long words in them."

Hmmm...sounds like Tom could be compensating for something...

"The idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. It’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved."

Tom get out of here with your racist BS. Another reason for me not to like Tom.

"Tom Buchanan compelled me from the room as
though he were moving a checker to another square."

Okay bruh you don't need to physically be moving people.

‘You must know Gatsby.’
‘Gatsby?’ demanded Daisy. ‘What Gatsby?’

*sigh* and so it begins.

Hold up...I mean I could be wrong. But the way Nick describes Daisy, is she a pick me girl?
