Abstract

Based on the theory of unreliable narrator, this paper, by analyzing Nick's function as a narrator, tends to point out that Nick's vision is not identical to Fitzgerald's, for Nick is capable of being an unreliable narrator at moments that are crucial to the development of the story. Indeed, Nick is a flawed character, he is sometimes a confused, misleading, or inaccurate teller of his tale.
