The Great Gatsby
In today society, many people like to follow the current.
They want to catch the wave. Which mean, it does not matter
if things were good or bad, right or wrong, they just follow and
do them without any thinking. Therefore, there are not too many
people would like to be a normal, thoughtful nor neutral person.
However, in the novel, The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald, one
of the character name is Nike Carroway, he was the good and
neutral narrator. It was because, in the novel, he analyzed all of
the things with regard to accuracy of observation.
In The Great Gatsby, when Mr.Gatsby told Vick he wanted
to return the past over again with his lover- Daisy, Nike Carroway
warned him to give it up, because it was impossible.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gatsby was not believe it. So at the end, Mr.
Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not
break up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last
chapter on the novel, when Gatsby was murder, Daisy went to
somewhere else with her husband, and did not go to Gatsby's
funerary.
Nike heard it, but when Nike had a chance to have a lunch
with Gatsby, he told Nike, he was an Oxford man and show him
that fought in World War One. Then Nike knew Gatsby was not
a German Spy nor a murderer.
It is so clear that Nike was a trustful man, so, by his
injustice information, and his truthful and accurate observation, the
reader were sure that he is standing on neutral position, and
the person who does not follow other people. By his Fantastic
personality - does not believe everything nor what most other
people said...
