The Great Gatsby

The eyes of Dr.T. J. Eckleburg,what is the meaning of this?

I get the feeling that it's a little like Big Brother...the characters in this novel feel as though they are being watched and are under scrutiny.  This is especially true for Wilson as he comes to find that he does not live up to his wife's expectations and that she has taken a lover as a replacement or subsititute to make up for Wilson's shortcomings.  The eyes are always there...staring...blue in the gray surroundings of this industrial area.  They are unchanging, but the only color in a rather drab setting.  Perhaps, in their own way, they signify that the American Dream can be acheived...that you don't have to settle for gray.  You can reach higher and become something of color.  Myrtle certainly was trying.
