So this is an excerpt from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In the text, the scene of Jordan Baker and Nick Carraway driving in her car and their conversation deeply reveals the theme of this novel- which is the careless of the Elite. When it comes to carelessness, you can't get more reckless than Tom and Daisy Buchanan. The super-rich heirs of old families, Tom and Daisy were born into the lap of luxury, and their greatest purpose in life is to remain there, no matter the cost to others. The carelessness exemplified by Tom and Daisy Buchanan is a carelessness of the elite, the brutal and thoughtless power that the 'haves' of this world can exert, most particularly on the 'have-nots.' From Nick's perspective of "careless people", he shows abomination and disrelish. Though Nick has feelings for Jordan Baker, however, deep down, the "Elites'"ignorance towards society is the real reson that spiritually separates Nick with them.
