초록
This article attempts to discuss the reliability of Nick Carraway as narrator in The Great Gatsby and the greatness of the novel. The traditional view of Nick's role as narrator is that he is quite reliable, honest, and moralistic. However, this critical position has been challenged by a number of critics who hold that Nick is quite unreliable, dishonest, and even immoral. Considering the fact that he represents the authorial voice and supports the implicit moral code of the author, however, Nick is enough to be reliable in his narration. His perceptions, interpretation, and evaluation of the matters in the work coincide with the norms implied by the author. The reader also identifies with the story and cares about Gatsby by Nick's careful and prudent narration. Through Nick's reliable narration, Fitzgerald presents his readers with the ultimate goal of American Dream in the sense of naive idealism, which is represented by Gatsby's consistent and passionate love for Daisy.
