For me, this is the second time I’m reading the Great Gatsby and so far its much more enjoyable on this read. The subtlety with which Fitzgerald paints the various members of society- from those of wealth (Gatsby), to the masses wishing to feel like they are (those attending Gatsby’s parties as well as the apartment crew), to those of pedigree (the Buchanans and Jordan)- becomes much more apparent as the daily aimlessness of each group is addressed. However as the readers we are also forewarned in the beginnings of the novel that our narrator, while often dependable due to others’ confidability in him, is also guilty of reacting to these confidences. Despite this confession, Nick Carraway assures us that at least in regards to Gatsby he is removed from judgment.
