"He dressed - like the rest of us - as if he admitted the existence of sumptuary laws." "Except for the few bright threads in his necktie, there was a scrupulous lack of color in his clothing that seemed protective." It is therefore assumed that he tried not to attract any attention to himself but instead, to blend in with the rest of us. Kind of like a wolf in sh .....

The Great Gatsby 11
.... unfaithfulness, friendships were broken and lives were taken. Both Gatsby and Myrtle, each a lover of the unfaithful partner in marriage, were killed. And Nick, although not causing these instances, surely played a part in bringing each to be.
Although Nick Carroway changed his ways, ultimately he could not have altered the fateful events that occurred. His tolerance in the beginning only led to more deceit, and his moral justification in the end only amplified the truth waiting to come out regard .....

Gatysby is still convinced that Daisy loves him. He even takes the blame for Myrtle's death; Daisy was the one driving. On page 151 Nick asks Jay about the accidents. "Was Daisy Driving?" "Yes," he said after a moment, "but of course I'll say I was."
Jay still believes that he can make through this with the money. .....

The Human Abstract
.... instead of one, we can maintain the peace and harmony and observe it for what it is. Only when we start to watch the nature from an internal perspective, based on own needs, it safety is in real threat. This frightening development can then arise in pure cruelty and its thoughts become actions. The darkness then drag us down under, and forces us to his side. With a friendly eye to the out side, it is easy to be fooled by its truly face.

Even more illuminating, about two hours later the narrator tells Mrs. Grose "The Children know all that we know - Flora saw!"(30) She is, of course, speaking of Miss Jessel, and how by this time paranoia has caused her to honestly believe that Flora saw her, yet it is clearly shown that Flora is too preoccupied with the water and her toys to even notice Miss Jessel.
