During Gatsby’s lifetime he had many crowds of people attend his great and illustrious parties. In his death, only three men attended his funeral. These men, Nick, Gatsby’s father, and the owl-eyed man were the only people to see Gatsby at his final moments. Daisy, Gatsby’s love, fled the area with her husband and didn’t even send a note or flowers. Maybe she did this because Tom would forbid her from attending or maybe she was grief stricken and felt too guilty to attend. Gatsby did in fact die because of her actions.
I was surprised that Wolfsheim did not attend. I’m sure it was because he wasn’t that close with him and Gatsby was only a way to obtain more capitol. Nobody really knew Gatsby from his parties so the partiers didn’t care too much or even realize what had happened. I think the guy with the owl glasses went because he realized Gatsby was indeed great.
