Rumor and reality

Explanation:

One of the themes that dominates the novel "The Great Gatsby" is that of the conflict that exists between appearances, rumor or gossip and reality. Many of the residents of East Egg are extremely concerned with rumor and gossip. They worry about what others say about them, but they also talk about others. In this example, as Nick grows more involved in the life of East Egg, he also experiences this conflict more fully.
