‘I spoke to her,’ he muttered, after a long silence. ‘I told her she might fool me but she couldn’t fool God. I took her to the window—’ With an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it, ‘—and I said ‘God knows what you’ve been doing, everything you’ve been doing. You may fool me but you can’t fool God!’ ‘ Standing behind him Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg which had just emerged pale and enormous from the dissolving night.‘ God sees everything,’ repeated Wilson. (Pg 152)
What'll I Do?"
What'll I do when you
Are far away
And I'm so blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do when I
Am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
I chose this song because the lyrics are an accurate representation of Gatsby's emotions after Daisy betrayed his love. Gatsby would not have been able to handle being away from Daisy, without her love, and without being by her side, so if Gatsby did live longer it would have been death for him anyways, seeing dreams "that won;t come true" Also in the end Nick was left all alone from hi great friend Gatsby

"Are you in love with me... or why did I have to come alone?" (Pg 83)
"They're such beautiful shirts" she sobbed, her voice muffled into the thick folds. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such -- such beautiful shirts before" (Pg 89)

"A Beautiful Little Fool"
Daisy and Gatsby danced. I remember being surprised by his graceful, conservative fox-trot—I had never seen him dance before. Then they sauntered over to my house and sat on the steps for half an hour while at her request I remained watchfully in the garden. (Pg 101)
‘Who is this Gatsby anyhow?’ demanded Tom suddenly. ‘Some big bootlegger?’ Where’d you hear that?’ I inquired.
‘I didn’t hear it. I imagined it. A lot of these newly rich people are just big bootleggers, you know.’ (Pg 103)
My New York Love

"I lived at West Egg, the – well, the least fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. My house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season. The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard … My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month." (Pg 10/11)
"I enjoyed looking at her. She was a slender, small-breasted girl, with an erect carriage which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet. Her grey sun-strained eyes looked back at me with polite reciprocal curiosity out of a wan, charming discontented face. It occurred to me now that I had seen her, or a picture of her, somewhere before." (Pg 16)

Dear Mr. Carraway. This has been one of the most terrible shocks of my life to me I hardly can believe it that it is true at all. Such a mad act as that man did should make us all
think. I cannot come down now as I am tied up in some very important business and cannot get mixed up in this thing now. If there is anything I can do a little later let me know in a letter by Edgar. I hardly know where I am when I hear about a thing like this and am completely knocked down and out.
Yours truly

‘I couldn’t get to the house,’ he remarked. ‘Neither could anybody else.’Go on!’ He started. ‘Why, my God! they used to go there by the hundreds.’ He took off his glasses and wiped them again outside and in. ‘The poor son-of-a-bitch,’ he said. (Pg 166)

"It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth—but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered ‘Listen,’ a promise..." (Pg 14)
Tom's Trophy Room
"Little Montenegro! He lifted up the words and nodded at them—with his smile. The smile comprehended Montenegro’s troubled history and sympathized with the brave struggles of the Montenegrin people. It appreciated fully the chain of national circumstances which had elicited this tribute from Montenegro’s warm little heart." (Pg 65)
‘Meyer Wolfshiemer? No, he’s a gambler.’ Gatsby hesitated, then added coolly: ‘He’s the man who fixed the World’s Series back in 1919.’Fixed the World’s Series?’ I repeated. The idea staggered me. I remembered of course that the World’s Series had been fixed in 1919 but if I had thought of it at all I would have thought of it as a thing that merely happened, the end of some inevitable chain. It never occurred to me that one man could start to play with the faith of fifty million people—with the single-mindedness of a burglar blowing a safe. (Pg 71)

The story of Great Gatsby is not just about the tragic love story that ended lots of hopes, dreams, and relationships, nut it is also about the death of Nick and his morals. In the beginning of the book, Nick emphasizes on how his father and his family gave him good moral standards nd how the war helped him view the world in a better way. Throughout the book, we see example such as the horrors of the party in New York with Tom, that test and wear down his morals. Throughout the book, Nick does stuff like unite a married woman with her past lover, that jeopardizes standards and mis morale. Along with the funeral of Gatsby, Nick did a funeral of his lost self, his once virtuousness that was what he valued himself on. The condition of Nick months after the death of Gatsby, demonstrates how much Nick lost of himself to the tragedy that irrational love caused.
