T.J. Eckleburg

T.J. Eckleburg is a famous billboard featured in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel *The Great Gatsby*. It depicts a pair of large, bespectacled eyes overlooking the valley of ashes, symbolizing the watchful eye of moral judgment and societal oversight. The billboard’s eyes suggest themes of emptiness, corruption, and moral decay underlying the story's characters and setting. It serves as a haunting reminder of the pervasive, often unseen, forces of judgment and the illusions of morality in a materialistic world.
