What perspective is it when the narrator/main character knows about the book saying “ gatsby the man who gives his name to this book” and would this be considered to be an allusion cause he is referring to something outside the story like the book does exist but its the book its self he talks about the same book he’s in. Will it still be allusion?

so far throughout the story i got the miss conception that Gatspy was a figure the main character looked up to, someone who he wont be able to reach no matter how high he climbed. But with this page i was able to find out that “ before i was able to reply with that’s my neighbor ” that this great Gastby was some as close as a few houses over. But then i though if he was that close to nick and yet nick describes him as being so far away kinda makes you question how mysterious this gatsby really was. And also when nick mention Gastby the girl asked “which Gastby” which I thought was a title only given to him but found out that there might be a family of Gatsby which if its true do they also hold as strong grip in this book as the great Gastby and what has he dont to earn the “Great” part of him name that was different from his family?

we shortly talked about this in class about how Tom life shortly went. Of how in Yale he was a star foot ball player and how at that moment is when he had the climax in life and after 21 he was define to be in his “anticlimax” and that’s kinda sad cause around 21 is when your life should start but he had his climax early meaning he also lost it early. And know living his life never being able to surpass what he did when he was in school.
