The truth behind the narrator

I always wanted to see the light in Gatsby and deep down I could feel that he wanted to be a "good guy". Something about Nick's word choice throughout the narration made me a little uneasy about Gatsby. I got the impression that he wasn't the perfect confident wealthy man that we constantly saw at his parties. As we find out in the latest chapters Gatsby is actually Jay Gatz, the product of two unsuccessful farmers. This book does an amazing job of displaying the insecurities of being ones self despite wealth or social class. Everyone's main concern in this novel seems to be how he appears to everyone else around him, including Nick. I think Nick may possibly even be an unreliable narrator because he may be too concerned with what the reader thinks (which is why he doesn’t come out as a bi-sexual…YEA I SAID IT! The proof is there if anyone is willing to look. And I am not the only person to think so). Though Nick claims to be the most honest person he knows, many would say the exact same thing about themselves, so we cannot actually assume all that he says is true. Nick shows his insecurities in chapter three. As soon as Nick arrives at the party and can’t find Gatsby, and rather appear to be lonely, he made his way to the cocktail table. Nick makes being alone at a party of this caliber to be one of the greatest embarrassments he can face. Gatsby was “on [his] way to get roaring drunk from sheer embarrassment (42)”, when he finally recognizes someone he knows at the party. To be alone is to be unpopular. To be unpopular is to not be wealthy, and if you’re not wealthy then you surely don’t belong in East Egg. We can probably trust what Nick narrates about Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom, which seems to be the real story, but I encourage everyone to take what he says about himself cum grano salis and read between the lines
