Ewing Klipspringer

Ewing Klipspringer is  the boarder that stays on at the Jay Gatsby's mansion. Not sure on his role in The Great Gatsby movie. Sadly, he is not seen in a positive light by any one. Nick Carraway does not like him any. He says that Ewing Klipspringer was doing liver exercises. Also, that he was a parasite living off Jay Gatsby who was very generous. Mister Carraway refused to bring the pair of tennis shoes that got left behind in the Gatsby mansion. Certainly, the significance of this singular event escapes me. OK so in the story Ewing is like a butler that plays the piano. Why Nick hates him we are not so sure. Also, in the list of characters in the novel, is the butler major or minor. He does not have many scenes. Still, we do wonder on one Ewing Klipspringer.
