Genial Green In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character of Nick Carraway is portrayed as very intellectual, creative, who enjoys the company of other people, but likes to stick to himself. Based on a personality test, the color to best describe Nick is green. Green represents calm and under control, defining traits that I would describe the easy person Nick is with.
Nick is kind of weird. The reader could compare him to a wallflower. Although he goes to Gatsby’s parties, he is never really interacting with the other guests. Nick is reserved, but still likes the company of other people. Nick said, ”I participated in that delayed Teutonic migration known as the Great War.”(Fitzgerald 3), that information told the reader that he served in WWI. Based on that one would think he is super courageous and outgoing, but he is more likely the opposite: an introvert. …show more content…
He is pretty down to earth, even though his family is “well-to-do people” (3). He has probably more money than an average person, but when he moved to Great Neck, better known as West Egg, he decided to just buy a “small eyesore” (5). Nick claims about his new home that it is “consoling proximity of millionaires.” (5). While Nick lives a simple life, he still likes to be surrounded by people who have high standards. When Tom Buchanan and Gatsby are freaking out in the hotel room, and everything about Daisy Buchanan’s lovelife came out in the open, Nick stayed calm. He knew that Tom lied and stated, “Angry as I was I was tempted to laugh whenever he [Tom] opened his mouth” (130). Nick could have easily caused more conflict, because he knows so much about Tom and Gatsby, but he decided not
