The narrator of our story is Nick Carraway. Nick is both the narrator and a participant in the Great Gatspy. His family hardly had any money and he graduated from Yale. Nick is friends with Tom Buchannan and cousins with Daisy Buchannan. He has an awkward intimate relationship with Jordan Baker and his lives in West Egg right next to Jay Gatspy. I would describe Nick as someone who just goes with the flow of everything. Especially towards the beginning of the book he gets kind of walked all over by Tom because of Tom's wealth. At the apartment party Nick kept trying to leave but he didn't because Tom wanted him to stay (Fitzgerald 27). This showed that Nick was more focused on going with the flow of things because these people were more successful than he was.
Nick was characterized as the guy that had certain connections to everyone but wasn't exactly in the mix of everything. Like how he was neighbors with Gatspy and related to Daisy. He was also old buddies with Tom. So Nick had certain connections to everyone that no one else had. My opinion of Nick didn't exactly change during the novel. I always liked him. I thought he was very interesting and gave the story a good flow. He story changed occasionally, but my opinion of him didn't change because he was a nice guy that always tried to do the right thing.
