The Great Gatsby Cover Response


1. The first thing that really catches my eye is that it looks like there is an abstract drawing of a woman who also appears to be crying.
2. The woman's eyes are not naturally coloured. Her irises are yellow and the whites of her eyes are blue
3. The irises aren't even yellow, they are people trapped in her eyes!

One paradox I picked up on is the fact that this woman is crying *silently and she looks very sad and miserable, yet the city lights in the corner give you a happy, party-going mood despite the woman's looks.

*not actually known

Question about the title: Will the image on the cover relate to the story closely, or only one section?
Answer: I believe that it will relate to most of the story since it's about the "Roaring twenties" and this woman looks like she's dressed in flapper attire and there seems to be some sort of party/general excitement in the bottom corner
