From reading The Great Gatsby, it is clear to see that Nick Carraway, our narrator was in fact a third wheel in regards to Daisy and Gatsby. So when I came across this meme, I could not help but laugh and thought you may get a laugh out of it was well.
You may have seen this meme before but used for something else. Its been a little bit popular these days it seems, so when I saw it “memed” for The Great Gatsby, I thought it was too funny to not write about.
When I first read the novel, I thought right away that Nick was being used by Daisy and Gatsby so they could hang out and spend time together without Daisy’s husband Tom finding out. Since Nick is Daisy’s “second cousin, once removed” why would Tom think anything of it?
While this meme is funny and believe me I did have a good laugh, it also kind of makes me feel bad for Nick in a way. He is being used, or at least that is the way I see it. They are using him to carry on this secret affair and does Nick even see that? Also in the end Daisy does not even choose Gatsby, she stays with her husband. But the sad thing is, Nick seems to be the only one there at Gatsby’s funeral when he is killed by George Wilson, because George thinks he is the one who killed his wife Myrtle. So it just makes me feel for Nick.
What did you think of the meme? Did you have a good laugh like I did? What other memes have you seen for The Great Gatsby like have made you laugh? Please share below in the comments, I would love to see them!
