Nick Carraway Stock Contradicts In The Great Gatsby
Claire Stock takes a fresh outlook on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel entitled The Great Gatsby. Stock analyzes the narrator of the novel- Nick Carraway- and notes the similarities between him and Jay Gatsby. It is evident that the novel was named after Gatsby; she wonders why he is set up to be the face of the long lived narrative concerning the American Dream. She bears in mind that Gatsby believes he is the reason he came from nothing and became something. Stock contradicts this by revealing Tom Buchanan's opinion on Gatsby. Nick seemed to realize that the elaborate tale Gatsby created was untrue although he never confronted him about it. Gatsby may have tried to achieve the American Dream by moving up social classes but his past always caught
up to him, ultimately leading to his downfall.
