Question

Who is owl eyes and what does he represent in the great gatsby

Answer 1

Fitzgerald had the owl eyed man at the funeral, because he was the only one in this society that saw the real Gatsby. The Owl-Eyed Man is similar to the billboard for Dr. T. J. Eckleburg with the "all-seeing" eyes. Both symbolize an uninvolved, spectator god.

Answer 2

The Owl-Eyed Man is significant because like the billboard of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, he seems to be "all seeing." None-the-less, he doesn't make judgments.
He's a spectator rather than participant, symbolizing what seems to be a distant, uninvolved god.”
