Answer:

The Great Gatsby,” Jay Gatsby’s speech does not necessarily contradict his elegant lifestyle, but it does reveal that he is not as sophisticated as he appears to be. Gatsby’s speech is described as “elaborate formality” which indicates that something is off, as if he doesn’t feel truly at home among affluent society1. In other words, the near absurdity of Gatsby’s speech suggests that he doesn’t really fit in1.
