At the end of Chapter 5, Caraway muses, “There must have
been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams – not
through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion”
(Fitzgerald 95).
·
At this point in the novel, Fitzgerald could
replace Daisy’s name with a few characters or ideas to show how Gatsby’s life
is an illusion. Choose one other aspect
of Gatsby’s life that does not live up to his extraordinary expectations and
analyze how this revelation gives the reader a glimpse of the reality occurring
in the novel.
Nick Caraway is a peripheral narrator; that is, he tells the
story while on the outside of looking in.
He reserves his judgments of people and claims to be “one of the few
honest people that [he] have ever known” (Fitzgerald 59).
·
Explain how Nick’s narration is either
beneficial or detrimental to the reader’s understanding of what is “really”
happening in West Egg.
