The epic fight between good and evil has always existed, even in the jazz world as Ondaatje says.
''It sounded like a battle between the Good Lord and the Devil. Something tells me to listen and see who wins. If Bolden stops on the hymn, the Good Lord wins. If he stops on the blues, the Devil wins. '' (pg. 81)
The fight has occured in every culture and generation of human civilization. From Zeus to Hades, the Jedi and Sith, the USSR and USA, the fight even happens in jazz. However wins the fight will define the outcome of all mankind, wether we will fail or succed. In Buddys case, he failed as well as Gatsby. We still need to wait for the Road.
