Nick Carraway is the only character worth knowing about in The Great Gatsby. He lives in East Egg with rich and powerful people. He is on the guest list at all their parties and yet he is the most worthy person to attend such parties because he is well fed and his family is certainly not poor. “Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, just remember that not everyone in this world has had the advantages that you have had.” (Ch1, P1). These words were taught to Nick by his father, showing the qualities that a man with goals and values ​​would have in a place where goals and values ​​did not exist. His sense of judgment for the characters and his courage to use them when desired makes him more interesting. He is very afraid of being alone.
