Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald. Right now at the beginning of Chapter 3 Nick is describing his neighbour Great Gatsbys house ragger where the guests get louder and rowdier the more they drink. Now, it’s not only about the party. Majority of this chapter explains that Gatsby has an odd out vibe to him, Nick and Jordan try to dig around for more information

“I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited they went there. 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.” (Pg.41)

I believe that this quote shows more than just what it says. It shows a sense of entitlement from Nick about being one of the few who actually was invited. He felt interconnected.
