Character Analysis
Nick Carraway
• The dramatic narrator. • Nick is suited to narrating The Great Gatsby because of his temperament. He is tolerant, open-minded, quiet, and a good listener, and, as a result, others tend to talk to him and tell him their secrets. • As a result of his relationship to these two characters, Nick is the perfect choice to narrate the novel, which functions as a personal memoir of his experiences with Gatsby in the summer of 1922.
During that time, he began working on his first novel, The Side Of Paradise. Published in 1920, the novel was an instant success and brought him enough money to marry Zelda that same year. The young couple moved to New York City, where they became notorious for their madcap(鲁 莽的,狂妄的) lifestyle. The charm, glow and the pathos of their flamboyant(炫 耀的) life together had been an inspiration for Fitzgerald. But the couple were also fighting each other all the time.
