Character Analysis: Nick Carraway


Nick Carraway is an interesting character. He is truly the voice of the author and has a big influence in Gatsby’s life.  Nick is by Gatsby’s side all the time in the later part of the novel and really guides Gatsby into making the correct choices. Gatsby’s trusts nick and want him to know everything about him. In my eyes Nick seems to gain affection for Gatsby because of the life he lives. I say this because Nick is so worked up in understanding Gatsby’s life and is always trying to come to the bottom of Gatsby’s history. Nick is the perfect fit for a narrator because he has the right attributes. Nick is a calm and consoling character who always has an open heart and mind to everyone else’s ideas. In result this allows Gatsby and Jordan Baker to open up to him so that he can figure out what is going on in their lives.
