It faced—or seemed to face—the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on YOU with an irresistible prejudice in your favor.' How does the narrator's description characterize Jay Gatsby in this scene?

As an arrogant aristocrat who looks down upon working-class guests. As a deeply charismatic figure who possesses an extraordinary ability to instill trust. As a calculated criminal who conceals dangerous intentions behind fake warmth. As a shy recluse who avoids social interactions whenever possible.
