CHAPTER SUMMARIES AND
ANALYSIS
CHAPTER ONE SUMMARY
The first important feature of chapter one is our introduction to our narrator; Nick
Carraway. We are given an interesting insight into his character when he relays his father’s philosophical advice: ‘Whenever you feel like criticising anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you had.’ This tells us two things about Nick. One, that he had a comfortable upbringing and two, that he isn’t judgmental. A further two mentions of the word ‘snobbishly’ on this page suggest that
Nick not only had a comfortable upbringing but that he is of a good family.
Next we are introduced to our title character, Gatsby and Nick says ‘Gatsby, who represented everything for which I had unaffected scorn.’ Nick’s pedigree has taught him to disapprove of greed and obvious wealth and as we are to learn Gatsby makes an art of exactly this. The next insight we are given is into the attitude of the era. Nick describes his war days and then says ‘I came back restless’; this shows us the way that the young mean returned from the battlefield only to be unsatisfied with their ordinary lives. This explains the feeling of stiflement that swept through a whole young generation throughout
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, highbouncing lover,
I must have you!"

"a single green light, minute and faraway, that might have been the end of a dock."
