Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.Based on this excerpt, what inference can be made about the Buchanans?

The image of luxury and elegance that they project is unstable like the wind blowing through the room.C
