Choose a symbol from "The Great Gatsby" Explain what it means literally as well as the significance to the text.


What do you think the title "The Great Gatsby" means? Is Gatsby "great" ? why or why not

Answer 1

I agree with the above, Nick Carraway is the clasic unreliable narrator. Likewise he has personal connections with the other characters so even if he 'thinks' he is giving us, the audience an objective view, it is psychologically impossible for him to do so since everything he says is delivered via his own subconcious biases and filters. No non-third person omniscient narrator is reliable. Also in the quotation mentioned above Carraway tries to put the reader at ease that he is honest, the most sure sign of someone trying to slip something by the reader by making it appear it is so obvious that it must be true (therby causing the reader to accept what he says and not analyze it).
