The sign is right by the Wilsons's gas station that they lived above. The oculist sign was a witness to Tom Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson's affair. The eyes were watching whenever they got onto the train together or drove past. The sign was peering down at Tom when he stopped in for gas on the way to New York City and Mr. Wilson told him that he thought his wife was having an affair. The eyes watched as Daisy ran over Mrytle. The occultist sign symbolizes God, a greater presence, or someone that is always observing. Mr. Wilson came to the conclusion through his grief stricken haze that the sign was actually God. He was looking at the sign and said "God sees everything" (167). Mr. Wilson was a little off by thinking that the sign was actually God in the flesh, but the sign can symbolize
