Symbolism and irony are frequently used forms of literary creation, especially topics that are commonly used in novels or plays to help characterize or present work. Fitzgerald used these two techniques well in The Great Gatsby. This article focuses mainly on the list of guests who attended the Gatsby Ball recorded by Nick Callaway and explored the use of symbols and irony to further understand the author’s intent to write and its profound social significance.
