And as the relationship between Nick and Jordan becomes closer, more information the reader gets from the novel. When they first kissed, Jordan had already told Nick about Gatsby’s love to Daisy.

As a guest at Tom's party, Nick is an active participant yet feels. During their first meeting they mentioned Gatsby’s name only once, but then it became usual and kept being talked about. Nick is a relatively humble man who hails from the Midwest and is both attracted and appalled by his experience in the East. Their main job is to transmit the Gatsby’s character. This makes Nick himself somewhat tricky to observe, since we see the whole novel through his eyes. Nick and Jordan also play important roles. Nick Carraway is The Great Gatsby's narrator, but he isn't the protagonist (main character).

This is the reason why everyone talks about him and creates various rumors about his enigmatic life. Gatsby, the true representative of all the greatness, richness, and beautifulness of the period, plays the main role in the novel by being the most mysterious and fabulous person. Fitzgerald filters the reader's view of Gatsby through Nick's skewed perspective. Why not I'd say because Nick is in love with Gatsby. Gatsby is either a deceptively tricky novel, or one that is artistically flawed in both character and structure. Nick performs Fitzgeralds own impersonal mastery of the paradox of American romanticism, illusory and fatal, yet a motive force. Spend the evening dancing and clinking glasses with Nick Carraway, Daisy and Tom Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, and Jay Gatsby himself. But Nick doesn't notice any of these imperfections in his character. Nick showcases toughminded authorial traits framed as masculine in the text, distinctly modernist capabilities dramatized through an analytical focus on the value of romanticism itself, personified in Gatsby. In Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” the author uses the technique of indirect characterization to make the reader feel the atmosphere of the society of the nineteen-twenties by analyzing its behavior. For most of the novel, Nick has a completely erroneous conception of Jay Gatsby. The main idea is to develop an image of a character through actions of others, and as it gets more complicated, the greater novel becomes. There is no single work of literature in the world, where a full, completed characterization of a person would be, no matter if he/she is the main character, or does not play any role in the novel at all.
