The first example of it is during chapter three; Nick Carraway, the narrator, states “ The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s name”(pg 40). The context of this quote is explaining the glamour of a Gatsby party. The specific line explains how people get lost in the alcohol and atmosphere of the party that they don’t even remember conversations or names. This is a perfect example of how a huge party dripping in spent wealth brings an air of unconcerned behavior about people’s surroundings in a splendid choice of artful words that display imagery. Another example of imagery showing this theme is during chapter seven.

He states that “He (Gatsby) knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didn’t realize just how extraordinary a ‘nice’ girl could be. She vanished into her rich house, into her rich full life, leaving Gatsby--nothing”(pg 149). With this statement and observation of Gatsby’s story with Daisy Nick shows how Daisy who was seen as extraordinary by Gatsby was careless and left him running into her rich lifestyle. If it wasn’t for the fact that Gatsby was poor and her being so connected with the need of wealth,
