Provide a potential meaning for the following symbol: the eyes of T.J. Eckelberg.
Eckelberg's enormous eyes look out over the desolation of the Valley of Ashes, which also happens to be the place where Myrtle dies and everything comes to a breaking point. Eckelberg's eyes watch everything, as Wilson says, like the eyes of God, which is particularly interesting considering the "godless" worldview held during this time, and lack of morality on the part of ALL of the characters.
