the Great Gatsby

As the story evolves Nicks narration begins to take a very different twist and tone indeed. In fact he boast about his inbred fundamental decencies acquired at birth yet states tolerance has a limit, even for him. He allows the viewers to see his disdain for the shallow characters and his perspectives sours towards all of them following the funeral for Gatsby. Nick stays on only long enough to fulfill his moral character duties, tidying up the affairs of Gatsby and then returns home to the Midwest. While Nick, quickly begins to dispense true pictures of the characters he displays a very soft place in his heart for the man called Gatsby even though he represented everything for which I have unaffected scorn. The man who once admired the wealth and society of the rich almost begins to loose patience and you begin to sense hardness towards the other characters in the book. In the end Nick walks away with a new found insight into his own happiness and well being, and as he turns thirty he has lost some innocence, but discovered a new level

. Nick informs his reader that in spite of Gatsby’s downfalls he does not judge Gatsby because he had an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness. He is very willing to overlook the same character flaws in Gatsby, even after it is apparent the Gatsby has not been honest with him at all times. His initial enthusiasm for success and wealth is lost in the reality of good versus bad, and his dream of wealth and success is replaced with contempt and justice for those who cross the line. Nick tells the readers that after Gatsby’s death, the East was haunted for me like that, distorted beyond my eye’ power of correction. Even though he becomes romantically linked to Jordan Baker, he does not extend to her the same fondness as Gatsby and constantly refers to her dishonestly and lack of responsibility. He begins to portrays them as hard and dark individual with little soul claiming they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.
