Who is owl eyes and what does he represent in the great gatsby

Fitzgerald had the owl eyed man at the funeral, because he was the only one in this society that saw the real Gatsby. The Owl-Eyed Man is similar to the billboard for Dr. T. J. Eckleburg with the "all-seeing" eyes. Both symbolize an uninvolved, spectator god.

The Owl-Eyed Man is significant because like the billboard of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, he seems to be "all seeing." None-the-less, he doesn't make judgments.

He's a spectator rather than participant, symbolizing what seems to be a distant, uninvolved god."
