Nick Carraway?
Why? What made you think/feel this way?3Nick the NarratorNick Carraway can be seen as the middle-man in this story through whom Jay Gatsby s life can be told.
Although Nick is not involved in much of the real action all we experience is through his ideas thoughts and responses to other situations - how he feels about them.
Nick s childhood can be seen as Fitzgerald s own interpretation of his childhood as he moved around many times whilst he was younger.
Nick is a self-conscious writer.4Nick s Early Background Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone he told me just remember that all of the people in the world haven t had the advantages you ve had.
It is believed his family are derived from the Dukes of Buccleuch. This shows that they are old money and have strong family traditions behind
