The correct answer is B. he has big parties but few friends.

Paradox occurs when you expect one thing to happen, but actually the opposite happens. So, when Gatsby throws so many parties, we expect that he has a lot of friends and that people generally love him. However, the opposite is true - he doesn't have many friends at all, if any. Nick could maybe be considered a friend of his, and that would be pretty much it.

So it is paradoxical that even though he is so famous, he doesn't have anyone close to him despite his popularity.

Vika [28.1K]

In Musèe des Beaux Arts by W.H. Auden the people on the ship do nothing after seeing Icarus fall into the sea and the ship continues on its way. Why was that? Because according to the author, when a tragedy happens, human beings are not affected by it if their interests are protected and they have an horizon to pursue.
