Character Analysis Of Nick Carraway In The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby
Nick Carraway seems like a genuine nice gentleman. Nick sees Gatsby as an inspiration and a good guy, but I don’t really think Gatsby is. I feel like he is more mysterious and as if he is hiding something. As the story progresses, we meet Tom Buchanan who I am not very fond of. He is very rude, snobby, and aggressive. He acts and believes that he deserves nothing but the best. Tom also isn’t a good husband or man to Daisy. It is mentioned that Tom takes Nick to his lovers house, which is where we meet Myrtle. Neither Myrtle and Tom are happy with who they are with and have been cheating on their spouses. Tom and Daisy and Myrtle obviously don’t wanna be with their spouses so why are they together with them anyways and not

Gatsby was setting himself up for failure by becoming so desperate to meet Daisy again. Also, I feel like Gatsby is bribing Nick into becoming his friend rather than really developing a relationship with Nick. For example, Gatsby offers to have someone cut Nick's grass and he offers Nick to join him in some business he does on the side. I felt like Gatsby was over reacting to inviting Daisy over. He was stressing himself out and telling himself that things would never be the same as they were. I thought that Gatsby was trying to show off to Daisy when he showed her all of his most valuable possessions. It seemed like the only way Gatsby could win Daisy over was showing her how rich he was. Daisy and Gatsby still have feelings for each other but don't know how their romance is going to continue because Daisy is married to Tom. Overall, I was glad that Gatsby and Daisy got a chance to reunite but I am uncertain if their love for each other will ever be the same as it was before Gatsby left for war. Daisy and Gatsby have gotten closer. I thought that Myrtle’s death was tragic, and I suddenly felt sorry for Tom who lost so much in a short period of time. I didn’t expect it to be Daisy driving, the one who killed Myrtle. Tom bent over . When they said it was a big yellow car, I immediately knew that it was Gatsby’s car, but I didn’t think that it was Daisy that was driving it. When Gatsby said that Myrtle came at the car like she wanted to talk, she obviously thought Tom was in the car, and she was going to leave Wilson and go with Tom. Tom would still have Myrtle, if he didn’t let Daisy leave Gatsby. Poor

    Gatsby’s worth is demonstrated throughout the novel, Gatsby shows the ultimate selfless act at the end of the novel when he agrees to take the blame for the death of Myrtle which ultimately resulted in his own death. Nick asks, “Was Daisy driving?” to which Gatsby responds, “Yes... but of course I'll say I was.” Gatsby does not hesitate when taking the blame, it appears to the reader that he feels it is his duty rather than his decision, his love and dedication to Daisy are at the forefront of his mind throughout the novel. In addition his home and parties are described as “props to woo Daisy” in chapter 5 reinforcing that everything Gatsby has done and created throughout are in order to peruse Daisy and make her happy unlike Tom Buchanan who has no respect for Daisy which is highlighted to the reader by his affairs in particular his affair with Myrtle. Tom is shown by Nick to be an aggressive overpowering figure that is violent towards woman and has no respect for anyone of a lower class or social standing than himself. Tom is described in chapter 1 as having “arrogant eyes” and “leaning aggressively forward”, later in chapter 2 Nick tells us how Tom made a “short deft movement and broke [Myrtles] nose with his open hand” showing him as a violent man. Fitzgerald created the character of Tom as an image of corruption and inequality in 1920’s society; he is representative of the arrogance of the upper class. As readers we have more respect for Gatsby; a…

    In Chapter 5, Daisy and Gatsby are reunited in Nick’s house and then Gatsby shows Daisy around his house. Gatsby attempts to reward Nick with money for helping bring him and Daisy together again, “Well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take up much of your time but you might pick up a nice bit of money.” This shows how Gatsby is not used to people being hospitable towards him without wanting anything in return. It also demonstrates how Gatsby thinks he has to buy Nick’s loyalty in the hope that by bribing Nick with money, he won’t tell Tom about his meeting with Daisy. Nick refuses claiming, “I’ve got my hands full,” This reveals that Nick is very class conscious as he thinks he is above receiving money for something he has done. It also shows that he is aware of the corrupt criminal world that Gatsby is involved in because he doesn’t want to take the chance of getting involved in the same world as Gatsby.…

    She'd loved Gatsby but didn't have the patience to wait for him. She was content to have an affair with Gatsby but still be married to Tom. She didn't want to make a decision. She was forced to make one and her choice devastated Gatsby. He never actually admitted that he'd lost but deep down he knew. He expected Daisy to choose him and couldn't accept any other response. He'd worked too hard and too long to win. Towards the end Gatsby wouldn't give up on Daisy. After the accident in which Daisy killed Mrs. Wilson, it was the end for her and Gatsby. And yet "He couldn't possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope ... " (148) Daisy couldn't possibly face the fact that she might go to jail and she knew Gatsby would take her blame. Taking her blame would be the last great thing Gatsby would do for Daisy. "He felt married to her, that was all." (149) Gatsby might have been able to avoid being killed by Mr. Wilson but he really didn't have any more reason to live. Daisy was back with Tom, he'd lost most of his so called friends who used to party at his house, and he really didn't have any real friends, except for maybe Nick. Nick saw the greatness in Gatsby. He even said to Gatsby, "They're a rotten crowd. You're worth the whole damn bunch put together." (154) That would be the last time he spoke to Gatsby. It was sad after…

    Since Tom is immensely wealthy, "and hailing from a socially solid old family" (SparkNotes Editors), he believes that he is untouchable. Tom hides behind the dollar signs that are associated with his name and, uses them as an excuse to treat others harshly. This is evident in how he treats the husband of his mistress, George Wilson and how he treats his wife's admirer, Jay Gatsby. Wilson's characteristics do not matter to Tom Buchanan. It does not matter if George Wilson is kind, handsome, or humble. In Tom's eyes, Myrtles husband is "so dumb he doesn't know he's alive" (Fitzgerald 26). It is not bad enough that Tom "fools around" with George Wilson's wife, he also has the nerve to belittle the man just because they do not share the same privileges in life. The way Tom treats George Wilson is much similar to the way he treats Jay Gatsby. From the very beginning, Tom looks down upon Jay Gatsby and suspects that Jay Gatsby's wealth comes from illegal causes. Thus when Tom finds out about the connection his wife and Gatsby share, his attitude concerning Gatsby worsens. Hence when someone is needed to blame for Myrtle's death, Tom tells her husband that Jay Gatsby is the culprit, and this gets Gatsby killed. Tom does not feel an ounce of guilt for blaming Gatsby, he says, "that fellow had it coming to him" (Fitzgerald 178). Tom's wealth is the only thing that protects him…
