: what is the signifigance of his eyes?

I believe the eyes act as Gatsby's conscience, because they see over Gatsby's entire life, including all his secrets and his wrong doings and they also see the accident. Others may think the eyes are the omniscient eyes of the town, but I like the more romantic idea that they exist merely for Gatsby.
