2. In the beginning of the novel Nick says, “Gatsby turned out all right in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men” (Fitzgerald 5). Explain what Nick means and then tell if you agree or disagree using examples from the text. Who or what is the “foul dust”?
I got down the fact that the quote basically means that Gatsby turned out better than the other rich people. But wat is the foul dust? I have no idea. Also what are some other reasons that Gatsby turned out alright other than the fact that he's not completly materialistic?
