Is Nick Carraway a reliable narrator? Is Nick Carraway a reliable narrator for the story of Jay Gatsby? I don’t believe he is. First of all‚ he has a common tendency of contradicting himself‚ an everyday thing for most people‚ however when telling a story‚ the mere fact that he contradicts himself suggests that he is not always telling the whole truth‚ just the version in his mind that can easily be distorted by his thoughts and feelings towards other characters.

Is there more of Fitzgerald in the character of Nick than in the character of Gatsby? It is of popular opinion that The Great Gatsby is a novel with an autobiographical feel to it. If this is the case and this was Fitzgerald’s purpose‚ his own character would have to be illustrated in that of one of his fictional characters in the novel.
