In both Gatsby’s life and Emily Dickinson’s life there are events that “close” their life upon two occasions. Both of their lives are left unassured if a third event will close their lives again, this time possibly for good. Gatsby and the narrator of the poem are left baffled as to how such egregious events occurred, upon two occasions. Finally, they both…
