Analysis Of Nick Carraway In The Great Gatsby

In this essay i’m going to explain The Great Gatsby and how the character Nick Carraway has learned lessons and how to grow up from going to West Egg to the East Egg. Nick Carraway is a young man who goes to New York to learn about the bond business. He is honest, tolerant, and confidant for those who have troubling secrets. Nick changes profoundly overtime in the novel. From seeing what Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom have done and gone through. Nick has realized that he has changed and thing will never be the same again. Nick doesn't have a place to live in West Egg nor in New York City. Nick is more of an outsider in the novel because he waits for certain things. He also has personal integrity and a sense of right and wrong helps to evaluate him
above others. He is very educated and desires more out of life than the quiet Midwest can deliver. His moral sense helps to set apart from the other characters. Nick grows from a man dreaming of a fortune, to a man who knows only too well that misery a fortune can bring. When Gatsby dies Nick was unable to believe that none of his associates will even pay their last respects, picks up the pieces and ensures Gatsby isn't alone in his death. You can't always trust the people that you call friends because they will go behind your back no matter what. In the quote ‘In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." Nick is trying to say that his dad even warned him about the people and that not everyone is as lucky as him. Nick is thoroughly disenchanted, cynical, regretful, even angry, as he tries to protect Gatsby's legacy in the face of an uncaring world, as well as a renewed awareness of his own morality. As much as the novel is about Gatsby’s failed love for Daisy, Nick might lose hope for love when he gets old enough to fall in love. Throughout the novel Nick learned a lot from going to the West Egg. As he grows older he will know what he's doing because he's seen and has been through a lot. One of the most important parts is that he’s not always going to trust people and it might be hard for him to fall in love. But if it's one thing he can always help the people that has went through the things he has. Nick has learned valuable lessons from Gatsby and all of the other characters that went along with Gatsby and his party. In the novel Nick had learned the most lessons from Gatsby.
