Daisy And Tom Buchanan In The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald created a character like Nick to narrate his the story of Jay Gatsby, Daisy and Tom Buchanan, and the other characters of The Great Gatsby, because Nick had objective observation skills. As an outsider moving in, Nick was more believable. The story is told from Nick’s perspective and thus allows the reader to see all perspectives of the world in which he finds himself. We see the traditional old money values and hubris of Tom and Daisy. We can see the carefree attitude of Jay. we can see Jordan’s dishonesty and her lack of respect for the middle class values. We can see the suffering of George, who believes he is losing his wife, and the blindness of both George and Myrtle; both believing they will soon escape from the lonely lives
