Everything in Gatsby was about image, right down to the library in his mansion. During one of Gatsby's extravagant parties, an owl-eyed man exclaimed “'See!'...'it's a real piece of printed paper. He deceived me. This guy is a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What completeness! What realism! I also knew when to stop, I didn't cut the pages'” (Fitzgerald 52). The fact that the pages of the book were not cut means that Gatsby never read any of the books. He just wanted to appear sophisticated. Another example would be his excessive amount of expensive shirts. It is important to show them to Daisy when “he took out a pile of shirts and began to throw them, one by one, in front of us, shirts of pure linen, thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their creases as they fell and covered the table in colorful disarray” (Fitzgerald 87). If he were truly mature, Gatsby would not be obsessed with material things and something as obvious as his image.
