Nick Caraway

I think Nick Caraway is a fairly opinionated man who looks out for himself and enjoys his thoughts.  Where he thinks over what his father once said to him "Whenever you feel like critisizing anyone just remember all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you have had", I think after reading the first section on the book you get the impression that he may be a bit spiteful and care-free of others emotions. However this is just a thought.
The fact that he stduied at 'New Haven' suggests he is privileged yet through reading on not boastful.
All he says about his father may show that he is very appreciative of his family (also with them in agreement of him to go into bonds and his father funding his trails) and thinks rather highly of them.
He appears judgemental but not too harsh in his thoughts.

  2. i agree, he is definately a bit up himself and easily influenced which makes him a bit contradictive

  3. I agree with most of what you said. But to me he does not seem to appreciate his family and treats them more a a bank to fund his life.

  4. Define: "Cafe-free"?
    "Enjoys his thoughts", AKA egotistical and self-absorbed, which I fully agree with :) x
