The Great Gatsby: Essay

Nick Carraway is a young man who moves in 1922 to New York to work in the bond business, and rented a house next to Jay Gatsby’s. Gatsby was a man who every Saturday night threw big parties. On theother side, there’s Nick’s cousin, Daisy, who is married to Tom, who is having an affair with Myrtle, and Myrtle is married to George. Also Gatsby is in love with Daisy, who corresponds him.

It is also much more harder to see the person you love with another person that’s not you.
Nick is the narrator of the story. He comes from Minnesota and was educated in Yale. Also he fought inWorld War I. He represents a serious man, the opposite of Tom.
