Question

What impression do you have of the narrator, Nick Carraway, from his narration and actions?

Answer 1

Nick is easy to share to since he and his decision are imperfect. We can trust Nick’s account of the facts but we cannot completely trust his decisions of the other characters in the story – he is unfair.His unfairness led him to ridicule Tom and acclaim Gatsby. Gatsby, for Nick signifies a fundamental blamelessness and uprightness, notwithstanding the fact that his life is externally built upon a lie. It is secretly built upon a boy’s dream of the future of personal prominence. This dream speaks to Nick even as he learns to recklessness it for himself.
