Reveal about Character
Sheik is a masterful and charming Arab leader who attracts women.
Araby: A romantic term in the Middle East.
Gatsby is obsessed with Daisy and he'll do anything to get her.
This shows how the American Dream will not always work out for you and the outcome might be corruption and thats exactly what happened Gatsby loved Daisy so much, until Gatsby died he never gotten Daisy to himself. Gatsby and Daisy’s love reveals how broken the American Dream was and how Gatsby was so controlled by his ambitions which led him to dying someone elses death.
“The sun had gone down behind the tall apartments of the movie stars in the West Fifeties, and the clear voices of girls, already gathered like crickets on the grass, rose through the hot twilight:
‘I’m the Sheik of Araby.
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you’re asleep
Into your tent I’ll creep—’” (Fitzgerald 85)
The Sheik of Araby alludes to Gatsby and how many women wanted him but he only wanted and saw Daisy for who she is. Another thing is that this allusion alludes to Gatsby and his love for Daisy.

It’s effective because starting from Chapter 4 and then on, Gatsby couldn’t stop talking or mentioning Daisy to anyone that knew her.
This allusion would not be effective but BTS a kpop group from Asia would be because just like Gatsby they started with nothing and with the help of other groups they managed to rise up and become world stars. BTS alludes to love and wanting to love someone but not being able to because of there lifestyle. Like the Sheik of Araby and the women who sang the song; BTS also have majority of women who sing there songs and gather around to enjoy their music.
