Our
narrator through The Great Gatsby is
Nick Carraway. He is cousins with Daisy, a neighbor to Gatsby, and a potential
love interest of Daisy’s friend Jordan. We also know he is a war vet, lived in Minnesota
before moving to New York, and graduated from Yale. He is kind of seen as the
person who is friends with everyone, has a healthy curiosity, and would go
along with whatever you ask him to do.
I would
say he is a seemingly unbiased party living in a rich neighborhood. He
experiences everything the rich he hangs out with do, and he always has one
opinion or another for it, “I was within and without. Simultaneously enchanted
and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life” (Fitzgerald 40). To me, he
almost seems like a puppy just following around its owners. He was always
learning about whatever his neighbors were getting u to next. While that
opinion didn’t change much, I’d say once I reached the end of the book, I didn’t
see him as unbiased anymore, blatantly stating how he didn’t approve of Gatsby
or like Tom.
