Yeah, pretty sure this is the main draw. It's short and the characters are basically walking billboards for what they represent. Also, Fitzgerald leaves a lot unsaid (or, to put it less charitably, doesn't do much to develop his characters beyond a surface level), so there's a lot to discuss and debate.
