How does Fitzgerald use sarcasm and irony to convey his point of view about society during Gatsby’s time? Support your answer with textual evidence.

Explanation:

The author F. Scott Fitzgerald employed the use of irony and sarcasm in several instances to convey his point of view about society during Gatsby’s time in the story.
