Why Is Nick Not A Trustworthy Narrator

No, Nick is not a trustworthy narrator. Nick is not a trustworthy narrator because even though at the start of the novel he claims to not be a judgmental person, throughout the novel he makes judgements about all the other characters. Whether or not his judgments are accurate does not matter, it's showing that he is not practicing what he preaches. Also, Nick said that he was one of the few honest people he knew, but it was contradicted when near the end of the novel Jordan says he is not as honest and straightforward as he claims to be and throughout the novel you catch him being dishonest. Finally, being that the novel is told in first person it's difficult to trust Nick because he is not the original source of the information that he presents
to the reader. We can not be sure that the information he receives and the passes on to the reader is truthful. For example, everything that he knows about Gatsby up to the end of the novel when Gatsby's father arrives is completely inaccurate, so if Gatsby's father never showed up all of the information Nick gave us about Gatsby would have been inaccurate.
