Gatsby's Party

The main theme in this chapter was the corruptness and how dumb the wealthy people were. I found this chapter one of the most important because it shows how stuck up these people are. Many of the characters did not even know Gatsby was or what he did but still attended his parties and criticized his home. Some of the people at the party were talking about Gatsby's past saying that he killed a man in cold blood. They were even surprised that he had real books in library, which showed that most of the people in this novel are corrupt. They gossiped about home constantly and made up false rumors. Seems like most of these people care more about their social life and tend not to care about the small things in life. "Owl eyes washing his hands with the whole matter" This quote shows that many of the of the rich people are very stuck up.
