Notes on The Great Gatsby (Chapter 2) This excerpt shows the casual yet revealing interactions. Mrs. Wilson’s eagerness over the dog, Tom’s bluntness in paying, and the mention of the apartment visit hint at the hidden affairs and moral looseness. The Fifth Avenue description creates a contrast—surface tranquility vs. underlying chaos. These details build character relationships and foreshadow the decadence beneath the glittering Jazz Age, reflecting the novel’s theme of illusion vs. reality.
