Nick is a very addicting character at least to most people around. He’s boring yet interesting, very cool, calm, and observative. Scott’s use of Nick was a very unorthodox move in writing at the time. As we see in today, we don’t see many T.V. shows or movies told by a non-protagonist character. You could say Nick was a blessing in disguise for Scott’s novel. Through Nicks interaction he brings a new element that the reader doesn’t know or wants to know about the other main characters. Nick relates to a lot of the readers as he likes to stay back and observe his surrounding, but he brings a bias that many people can say persuaded them on who they liked and who they hated. I don’t think you’ll ever hear someone saying they hate Gatsby because of Nick’s power of telling the story. However, it seems that everyone hates Tom because the action we’ve seen him do around Nick. It’s like an addiction we have with the person who knows all the drama. We can dip one toe into the cold pool, but we can take it right out because Nick gives us the information we want to know. We may all have that one friend to call to get the daily scoop of the gossip around the school. Nick is the news outlet to his audience. He has the control of what he wants us to know. We may have never understood Gatsby or Daisy or Jordan if it wasn’t for Nick. As if it were Gatsby who told the story through a letter of some sort The Great Gatsby landscape would be much different than ever in today’s world.
