In what way is Gatsby's uniform an invisible cloak?

Sabrina-

First of all, thanks for posting, and good luck with Gatsby.

I encourage you to think about the uniforms people wear, their purposes and categories. First, look at them literally. What do they mean, both to the wearer and to those with whom they come in contact? Next, look at the uniforms more figuratively and symbolically. On a deeper level, what do the uniforms mean? Uniforms are powerful in that they can create a mood and can even alter peoples' actions and beliefs. What does Gatsby do in his uniform? What things does he do while 'cloaked' in his uniform? How do his actions and interactions change when he has his uniform on? Start there, then make sure to get a second opinion on any research you do. Good luck, Sabrina!
