Secrets, lies and deception are what wind through this classic. In The Great Gatsby we start by knowing one thing and then learning another thing that contradicts the first. With the mystery behind every action and the roles that all the symbols play, The Great Gatsby can teach the reader a lot. The most that is taught comes from two large symbols, the eyes of Dr. TJ Eckleburg and the eyes of the owl. These two symbols help convey a major part of the plot of this classic. With all the secrets kept and all the deceptions carried out, something, or someone, must know the truth. Mentioned in the film, as well as in the book, Dr. TJ Eckleburg's eyes see everything. The book alludes to this when it states that the characters drive “down the road under the persistent gaze of Doctor Eckleburg” (Fitzgerald 23). The eyes of the poster were always attentive. In everything that Tom, Nick, Daisy or Gatsby did, the eyes saw what really happened. Nothing could be hidden from them. Throughout the film, the billboard was shown after a dramatic scene that developed another plot secret. In this way, the message that they see everything has been put into our heads. He was our truth to start from and is an all-seeing figure of God. But God wasn't the only one who saw everything that happened. When we meet Owl Eyes, we get a different impression. Nick describes him as “a stout, middle-aged man with enormous owl glasses” (Fitzgerald 45). An owl is known as the wisest of animals. Compared to an owl, it is assumed that it may have other qualities than just its appearance. As in the film, we see that Owl Eyes actually sees the relationship that Gatsby and Daisy are having. Even if it's not stated as clearly in the book as it was to them in the beginning. Then it simply continues to flash as needed. It is woven to look like a natural idea. It adds to a distracted look out the window after an important event. This way, we see it as natural and true instead of the characters trying to put an idea in our heads. While they may reference the billboard, the flashes keep the theme in our heads throughout the film. Although it is very similar, the film gives the themes something more. The way they approach a situation and the way they display symbols seem to relate the message more clearly. The book does the same, but some parts may not be as specific and relatable as the movie. But both contain the two most important symbols, the eyes of Doctor TJ Eckleburg and Owl Eyes. Without these two symbols, both the book and the film would suffer a worse impact and leave the main themes out of the plot.
