In FSF’s novel the Great Gatsby Nick Carraway’s perspective is poetic, paced and arguably reliable. For example, when he is retelling his first encounter with Daisy Buchanan after many years, his description of her and the room she is in is reminiscient of an angel in the heavens both “sad and lovely” (9). His tone changes, however, as the novel goes on and grows more pessimistic by the page. In the end, his description of Daisy is of disgust and almost pity, “they were careless…” (179). According to Mathew B, “the strongest feeling generated…” The horrible reality of a carefree life that is exhibited so thoroughly be Daisy and Tom in the end is in stark contrast to the desired and glamourous world in which they appear to exist. We hear this regret in Nick’s narration. Nowlin sums up Nick’s voice perfectly when he states, “but…” (28). Nick narrates from a future we know nothing about, unlike the narration of BR his story is tainted somewhat with retrospect. The narrators of both F’s writings operate within equally significant and different eras.

Daisy promised she would wait for Gatsby to return, however this did not occur. Daisy married Tom Buchanan, affluent and powerful in East Egg.
