What is Nick Carraway's role in the novel? Consider Nick's father's advice in chapter one: "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world
haven't had the advantages that you've had." Does telling the story from Nick's point of view
make it more believable? Why or why not? Do you feel that Nick Carraway is a reliable
narrator? Can we trust that his reporting in the story is unbiased? Is he objective? Does he make
assumptions? What are his values, biases? Does social status or gender affect his opinions? Give
some examples to back up your argument.
