Question

Why is it significant that the man with owleyed glasses is the only other person to come to gatsbys funurel?

Answer 1

This is significant because the absence of everyone else marks how few friends Gatsby really had. For all the people he knew and entertained, only Nick and a man who admired Gatsby's library were in attendance. This is also significant because it illustrates how few true friends we are actually blessed with during our lifetimes
