After watching the film‚ The Great Gatsby (2013)‚ I feel like as if the movie and film correlates together well‚ especially when it comes to the characters.

Therefore as all of the information the reader receives is filtered through one brain‚ the reliability of Nick as a narrator is naturally brought into question as one progresses through the novel. To understand Nick Carraway as a narrator one must first understand Nick Carraway as

"Views on the role of Nick as narrator in The Great Gatsby have varied greatly. How do these two views relate to your own view of Nick ’s function in the novel?" I aim to explain effectively my opinion that Fitzgerald ’s use of Nick as the narrator of The Great Gatsby is a very successful literary technique.

The Great Gatsby After reading "The Great Gatsby” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and watching the film directed by Jack Clayton‚ I noticed a few plot‚ character‚ and theme changes.
