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” (Fitzgerald 18). This proves that even with all his money and all the things he has at his mansion, all the parties he throws, no one cares at all about him and is only at his party to have a great and fun time with the people they do know.
