Answer 2

The two statements that seem to foreshadow Dexters obsession with possessing Judy Jones are:

• "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves."
• "Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges."

Step-by-step explanation:

"Winter Dreams" is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is about a young man named Dexter Green, a struggling writer, and his obsession with Judy Jones, a wealthy young woman.

The two statements from the excerpt that suggests Dexter's obsession with Judy Jones are,

"He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves."

"Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges."

In both these statements, Dexter's obsession with Judy Jones is reflected. These statements indicate that Dexter did not love Judy but was after her possession. He considered Judy Jones glittering things a thing to be possessed rather than loved. The second statement brings into light Dexter's obsession with possessing things without knowing why he wanted it, which suggests that he never loved her.
