What are the pros and cons of Nick Carraway being the narrator for the Great Gatsby?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Think about the reliability of Nick as a narrator. 
He is skeptical of this new Eastern society, but is a member of the aristocracy (related to Daisy) himself. Reflect on his personal traits and behaviors (he talks about the actions of others in a seemingly non judgmental way) and how that translates in the novel. A con can detail his bias as a person towards Gatsby in the beginning,etc. Narrator reliability is the way to go.
