The first thing we see in Meyer Wolfsheim’s room is his human molar cufflinks. He wore these cufflinks when he met up with Gatsby and Nick for lunch. ‘Finest specimens of human molars,’ is what Wolfsheim tells Nick, as if displaying them as some sort of trophy that he is proud of.
The second object we see is the note that Nick wrote to Wolfsheim informing him of Gatsby’s funeral and inviting him out to Gatsby’s house with Nick. As you can see, the letter seems to be tossed under the bed, meaning that it is something Wolfsheim did not really care about, like a toy that a child did not care about. The letter simply stated, “... which asked for information and urged him to come out on the next train.” Even though Wolfsheim did respond, he still doesn’t care for Gatsby’s death. …show more content…
The coffee cup is from the diner that Wolfsheim was having lunch, which he stole. “Mr. Wolfshiem drank his coffee with a jerk and got to his feet.” this means he took the cup along with him. The white coffee cup stands for something pure and clean, while the coffee is dark. The spill symbolizes how Wolfsheim may seem clean at first, but really, we see him for who he really is; another person who didn’t care about Gatsby.
We then can find a handgun in bedside table cabinet. We know that Wolfsheim is a gangster working with Gatsby, and in one of the stories Wolfsheim is telling Gatsby and Nick, a friend named Rosy gets murdered outside of a restaurant. “He went out on the sidewalk and they shot him three times in his full belly and drove away.” This symbolizes the gangster work that Wolfsheim faced. We could also account it with the gunshots that killed Gatsby, because it was one of “Wolfshiem’s protégés” working for Gatsby.
