"The great Gatsby" contains many symbols open to the interpretation of those who are reading the book and relating them to the themes presented in the story. One of these symbols is Dr. Eckleberg’s eyes, which are painted on a billboard facing the Valley of the Ashes (a dangerous, demoralized, ugly place resulting from the greed of the rich).
These eyes can represent the eyes of God, judging the greed, pride and dehumanization of American society that is always in search of wealth and goods, even if it implies the destruction of other people and the sadness of many.
This meaning is related to the "American dream" that is portrayed as one of the themes of this book. Thus, the billboard sends the message of how the American dream can be empty and disadvantageous in some situations.
The themes of the book include morality and womanhood. Cassy commits infanticide not because she wanted to do it but because she had no choice. She was a slave and that meant she did not have the capacity to raise the baby. Despite this, she still made her decision to kill the baby and that shows her 'moral weakness.'

Answer:
Red meat was expensive, and only the rich could afford it
Explanation:
The Elizabethans ate three meals a day like anyone else, the meals varying from a chord to their riches among families. Poorer people could only buy vegetables and white meat such as fish, chicken and rabbits while the rich could eat red meat more consistently. In 1563 Elizabeth created a law that compelled everyone to eat fish meat every Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays by encouraging the fish industry and reducing the fish price to the poor.
