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.
