Three Examples in the Text
X- The Great Gatsby
Y- Nike as a unreliable narrator
Nike as a narrator and witness in The
Great Gatsby, his words and judgments may be subject. There are three examples
in the text.
1.
The
narration of Nike’s personal experience has inevitable subjectivity.
At the beginning of the story, the
narration indicates that Nike is cautious, righteous and objective narrator. He
is “inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious
natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores.” However,
he is not so objective as he evaluates himself. He is siding with Gatsby. For
example, in order to beautify Gatsby is a good person, Nike even does not
mention too much about Gatsby’s illegal alcohol business.
2.
In Nike’s narration, the information from other characters will be
twisted.
For example, Jordon tells Nike the past
of Daisy and Gatsby. “One October day in nineteen-seventeen…..” However, Nike
is the reporter for her
narration so that the original ideas may be twisted by his subjectivity.
3.
Nike
edits something that he does not see for himself by using imagination.
a.
No
one witnesses the scene how Gatsby is killed, so Nike’s narration about the
scene is came up by his imagination.
b.
Nike
claims that Gatsby is always looking at him which just because he gets the
unique invitation letter. Therefore, it is possible that Nike imagines Gatsby
is watching him.
