The "eyes of doctor T. J. Eckleburg" from the Great Gatsby symbolize an all-seeing entity who watches with disapproval. The answer is letter A. Because Gatsby feels that he is being watched by someone. He feels that what has been going on through his life are the result of his mistakes and he feels guilty about it.
