    The Cause of Nick Caraway’s Inability to Adapt to Eastern Life We all have dreams that we fantasize so much that they may be in contrast to reality. We have all experienced the utter disappointment of having the harsh reality of the world make itself known to us. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald presents us Nick Caraway, a meek Midwesterner both intrigued and repulsed by the roaring extravagance of the East in the 1920s. Nick’s enthusiasm and confidence to establish a successful life in New York is betrayed when he experiences the underlying emptiness and moral corruption of the upper class forcing him to reconsider his adaptability to this modern lifestyle. Fighting in World War I has caused Nick to become numb to the…

    In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby the label of outsider is awarded to Nick despite a majority of his characteristics fitting the mold of an average American man. An outsider can be defined as “a person who does not belong to a particular group; a contender not expected to win.” However, the novel seems to insinuate that it is not membership of a group that determines outsider status, but possession of power. Throughout American history, it is not the minority that is automatically the outsiders it has been those who power has been systematically stripped away. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby could hardly be described as a member of the majority demographic because of his obscene wealth and illegal business practices.…

    The morality of the characters in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby can be questioned. Rather than merely good or bad, black or white, honest or dishonest, characters are often grey -- neither good nor bad but morally ambiguous. Though Nick Carraway is presented an honest narrator and objective observer who values trust, Nick Carraway, as a character, becomes involved in the moral ambiguity of the wealthy East Coast and inadvertently, he himself assumes some of the faults which he criticizes the other characters for, illistrating that even a fundamentally good character such as Nick can be tainted by the admiration of wealth. Nick’s honesty as a narrator is crucial to the integrity of the novel as a whole.…

    In The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald uses the leitmotif of temperature to symbolize moods and tensions that foreshadow what is going to happen between the characters. Fitzgerald uses the cold to show the characters feelings. He uses heat to show how tension rises between characters’ true feeling and emotions that are hidden by their outside appearances. In the quote, "In this heat every extra gesture was an affront to the common store of life” (Fitzgerald 145) Fitzgerald uses temperature to bring the characters back to their realities and connect them to their true feelings.…

    Throughout The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is the only point of view we are given about the lives between these characters, Fitzgerald uses Nick as a way to establish the motif of loneliness by showing that even though Gatsby has everything one wishes for during this time, he is still deep down alone because he is surrounded by fake love and care; however, Nick himself is also isolating himself the most by not being involved and only being the observer. There are many moments throughout the book where loneliness is portrayed through the characters. Beginning with Gatsby. He is a very mysterious man, who constantly throws huge parties at his mansion, with tons of people he does not know. He is surrounded by many people all the time, yet deep…

    Carelessness is the behavior of a neglection that one many portray in their decision. In the 1920s, people were reckless and did not care what the turnout would be. They would go to a party and have one too much drinks; go behind the wheel and get into a car when they know they were unable to drive is one of many examples of carelessness. The Great Gatsby, a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is not only based on romance and love, but it foreshadows the lack of responsibility and self control these characters have in the novel. Carelessness is pivotal in the character’s lives because they are blinded from reality; they are only living through their wealth which causes them to do wreckage to their lives.…

    Nick starts the chapter off two years after Gatsby and George’s death. He describes how he can remember the days that followed the murder suicide and how one reporter had used the expression ‘madman’ to describe George. This expression was later used in the newspaper to describe the horrendous event (163). The policeman can represent how everyone comes up with their own conclusions before knowing the entire story. The murder of Gatsby was a good decision in George’s mind because he believed that Gatsby had killed his wife.…

    Throughout “The Great Gatsby”, published by award-winning author F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925, multiple characters are shown to undergo major changes in their personalities or the way they are portrayed. Be it the concept of Daisy as a pure, angelic being at the beginning quickly morphing into one of her as a superficial person, or the perception of Gatsby as a rich, enigmatic man contorting into one of him as a naïve and blind protagonist, each character’s development affects the book’s plot and works for character development. At the forefront of this development is the narrator himself, Nick Carraway, as he changes radically to understand the world around him. Take, for example, the way that Nick’s naïveté in the introduction is overtaken, resulting in him becoming…
