Read this quote:
"The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang form his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty." (Look up any unfamiliar words.)
Explain the following:
1. the Platonic conception
2. the effect of the Biblical allusion
3. the point about the nature of service
After interpreting this comment, connect it to this quote from the introduction:
"What foul dust floated in the wake of his dream."
