However, the good qualities of the Gatsby party are more dominant over the sinister attributes. The good qualities of Gatsby's party are the cohesion between people and the position of women. In contrast, the bad qualities in Gatsby's party include impersonation and immorality. Moreover, the author uses imagery to create a vivid picture and hence display these qualities.
The quality of cohesion and togetherness is evident in the way "…the groups change more swiftly, swell with new arrivals dissolve and form in the same breath." The author creates an imagery of performance that is well-coordinated and uniformly synchronized. This imagery represents cohesion and togetherness within the society.

Fitzgerald creates an Imagery of powerful women when he mentions, "confident girls weave here and there among the stouter and more stable. " Unlike patriarchal eras, this imagery paints a picture of a modern society that embraces women empowerment.
