   The Great Gatsby

The Great Gyatsby

What does Point of View do for the story? Is Nick a reliable character/storyteller?

- No. Nick is a horrible insufferable human. He is narcissistic & construes things to fit his narrative of whatever he wishes to believe. He is very close-minded and has tunnel-vision.

How does Foreshadowing impact suspense/inferences in the story?

- Foreshadowing makes the book predictable but also very suspenseful in a way. For example: We know that when Nick talks about the Valley of Ashes he will go there and eventually meet the girl thatDaisy's husband is having an affair with but we cannot foreshadow anything else. This is what builds suspense in the story. We can infer a possible fist fight or maybe Daisy finding out about the affair.
