Sagot :

Answer:

a. The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.

b. Nick not only tells the readers what has happened but continually suggests how they should feel about what is happening. He does this mainly by expressing how he feels himself. This seems to be Fitzgerald's main reason for using Nick as a minor-character narrator.

c. The majority position is the traditional one: Nick is considered quite reliable, basically honest, and ultimately changed by his contact with Gatsby. The critical controversy merits a brief return to the text as our final understanding of Gatsby is almost entirely dependent upon the reliability of Caraway's narration.

d.  In The Great Gatsby, Daisy tells Nick that she hopes her daughter will grow up to be a beautiful fool: I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
