The role of Nick Carraway as narrator
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The novel "The Great Gatsby" can be best described as a narration of a
|
|||
|
|
series of events as viewed through the eyes of an important central figure
|
|||
|
|
(Nick Carraway) around which a story takes form. A general lack of
|
|||
|
|
importance associated with the part a narrator is a generalized notion
|
|||
|
|
deduced from the analysis of most novels. However, a reevaluation of the
|
|||
|
|
narrative process played by Nick Carraway is in place when it comes to the
|
|||
|
|
novel, "The Great Gatsby" as such a concept holds little truth within the
|
|||
|
|
domains of such work of literature. The process of portraying virtually
|
|||
|
|
all physical and emotional actions and the inferred establishment of a
|
|||
|
|
moral norm are two of the main perspectives achieved through the author's
|
|||
|
|
usage of narration through Nick. His vital role is the flow of the novel
|
|||
|
|
is hence an indication as to his importance as a character in general.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This vital role can be first of all seen in the primary role of Nick
|
|||
|
|
as a narrator. Physical and emotional actions/reactions of characters
|
|||
|
|
within a story relates a great deal to individualistic personality which in
|
|||
|
|
turn helps the author generate his/her idea of a certain person/group of
|
|||
|
|
people within the mind of the reader. Such a function is undertaken by Nick
|
|||
|
|
who is endowed with a keen sense of observation which he uses to reveal the
|
|||
|
|
nature of each character. Through Nick, the reader is able to sense the
|
|||
|
|
shallow emotional depth Tom Buchanan is capable of experiencing and his
|
|||
|
|
apparent harshness of attitude towards others. The brutality of Tom
|
|||
|
|
towards his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, as described by Nick (page 37, line 5
|
|||
|
|
- below) is highly demonstrative of this fact. In comparison, we see
|
|||
|
|
Gatsby, on the other hand as generally being a physically an emotionally
|
|||
|
|
reserved person (but not when it comes to Daisy). His general hospitality
|
|||
|
|
and mysteriousness as described by Nick creates an air of splendour and
|
|||
|
|
establishes him as a source of profound curiosity in the minds of others.
|
|||
|
|
In their own way, other characters are exposed to the reader as well when
|
|||
|
|
Nick comes into contact with them. He is thus seen to play a vital role in
|
|||
|
|
portraying the emotional disposition underlining each character through
|
|||
|
|
their physical involvement in the novel. It should be noted that unlike
|
|||
|
|
most other narrative description of events, Nick's role in "The Great
|
|||
|
|
Gatsby" extends even further into the lives of each of the other
|
|||
|
|
characters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The moral standard by which all other persons are uniquely judged is
|
|||
|
|
created through the establishment of a central view point of single
|
|||
|
|
narrative character in the novel. The word "unique" is used to describe
|
|||
|
|
the form of evaluation Nick partakes in due to his total absence of any
|
|||
|
|
form of critical analysis. This lack of personal judgement is seen to
|
|||
|
|
manifest itself in the mind of the narrator from the very beginning of
|
|||
|
|
Nick's youth through the words of his father. Nick's realization of the
|
|||
|
|
equality of man altered through his origin sets him up as a morally sound
|
|||
|
|
standard by which all other characters can be measured. It is this
|
|||
|
|
personality trait of his which leads him into relationships with people
|
|||
|
|
with a great array of morally sound/deficient values. Jordan Baker is
|
|||
|
|
described by the author as a woman with an "incurably dishonest"
|
|||
|
|
personality. Yet Nick accepts her into the emotional side of his life;
|
|||
|
|
proving his firm belief in the concept of being morally reserved in
|
|||
|
|
judgement. As described by the author, Nick is not blind to the
|
|||
|
|
heartlessness of the Buchanan family and it is only through a crisis that
|
|||
|
|
Nick sees how far his limits have actually been surpassed. His acceptance
|
|||
|
|
of such people through the course of the novel allows the reader to observe
|
|||
|
|
a contrast between these characters of society. Their moral values are
|
|||
|
|
exposed for the reader through this and we are hence allowed a greater
|
|||
|
|
insight into what the true nature of the character really is. Nick thus
|
|||
|
|
plays an important function in portraying the deviation of each person in
|
|||
|
|
the novel as related the moral standard the Eastern society which the
|
|||
|
|
author uses as the norm.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is through such an analysis that the true importance of the
|
|||
|
|
narrator in the novel is realized. Through physical and emotional
|
|||
|
|
observations through Nick, we are allowed a general feel of each character.
|
|||
|
|
A greater depth is added to each personality as the reader distinguishes
|
|||
|
|
between the moral standard Nick holds and the morality of those around him.
|
|||
|
|
The duality of Nick's role in the novel is thus a clear indication of the
|
|||
|
|
importance he holds in the progress of the story.
