Consequences of Nick Carraway as Narrator of F. Scott Fitzgeralds The

The Importance of Nick Carraway as Narrator of The Great Gatsby  In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald studies the dissatisfaction of the American Dream by differentiating the debasement of the individuals who receive a shallow way of life with the trustworthiness of Nick Carraway. As Carraway acclimates himself with the lives of Tom and Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Jay Gatsby, he understands the bogus alluring quality of the New York way of life and recovers regard for the Midwest he deserted. Fitzgerald needs a target storyteller to pass on and demonstrate this analysis, and utilizations Carraway as the perspective character, yet additionally as a counter guide to the shamelessness and deceptive nature Carraway finds in New York (Bewley 31).
