About This Quote

The theme of irony is prevalent throughout the novel 'The Great Gatsby.' The reader grows to understand the relationship between characters by exploring the actions, reactions, and thoughts of them. This quote illustrates how irony can be interpreted. While Nick represents the idea of justice, he is also hypocritical because he takes advantage of Gatsby's naivety. The fact that he wouldn't give up Iris to avoid jail time shows that his means are not always righteous.
