F. Scott Fitzgerald's decision to write The Great Gatsby from Nick Carraway's point of view means that readers __________.

Question 5 options:

are not likely to be interested in the story because Nick is the novel's least interesting character

never learn what happens to Gatsby after Myrtle Wilson's death

have to choose whether or not to believe Nick's side of the story or Gatsby's side

only know what Nick tells them and have their opinions shaped by him

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" tells the story of Jay Gatsby, though from the point of view of a different character Nick Carraway. Although the protagonist of the story is Jay and even the title is his name, the whole story was narrated by jay's neighbor Nick. It is through Nick that we know of the scenes and events, limiting us to the inner feelings of the characters. The point of view of the whole plot is from Nick's perspective, which limits our view/access only through what he tells us. Except when the other characters reveal their feelings to him, we have no knowledge of what the other characters feel or think.

Thus, the author, Fitzgerald's decision to write the story from Nick's point of view means that the readers only know what Nick tells us. Also, whatever opinions that may have come up will all be shaped by Nick, for we view the story from his eyes and have no access to the other characters' feelings to think otherwise.
