Help with Questions to The great gatsby: Is Nick Carraway necessary?
- Is Nick Carraway necessary? If we got the story through a third person omniscient narrator, what would we lose? Gain?
- According to the novel, what is it about the past that draws us both forward and leaves us stuck where we are? How can we be set free of the past? Can the novel Gatsby itself help us get free, or does it just leave us stuck in the past?
