How can a man involved in dangerous smuggling crimes, so caught up in his past love that he loses her and sheds his own blood over a misunderstanding, ever be forgiven? In other words, should he be forgiven for his acts or should he remain forever in Hell and forgotten? You might acknowledge the fact that this man's past, behavior, and intentions are unknown, then have a positive or neutral view. Another might add that sins can never be forgiven, whatever the reasons that caused them, leaning towards a negative point of view. Jay Gatsby, a character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, is very similar to the previous man described, having faced shame and committed the same dishonorable acts, and is often criticized by those who have a negative point of view. However, in the text, Nick Carraway, the novel's narrator, clearly states: "Gatsby turned out all right in the end" (6). Nick knew all about Gatsby's immoral acts, so how could Nick make this statement in honor of a dead man? The answer is quite simple: Nick realized that Gatsby's incorruptible dream was the most admirable feat among all the characters in the book, something that not only made Gatsby respectable to Nick, but also great. Nick is the traditional realist, the only character with personal integrity. . Nick has met many dreamers who have sought him as a confidant for their "intimate revelations" (6) and "secret sorrows" (5) mainly due to his nature of being a good, tolerant listener. After those meetings, he discovers that these consultations of secrets “are usually plagiaristic and marred by glaring omissions,” wanting “no more wild excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart” (6). Nick accomplishes everything… half the paper… in The Great Gatsby so that the two characters can emphasize their goals by working together, which in this case was Gatsby's reunion with Daisy. When Nick realizes that Gatsby is a genuinely kind-hearted man who wants nothing more than love, he forever sides with him against the other superficial and careless characters. Leaving aside the fact that Gatsby died as a result of having dreamed so much, Nick, of his own free will, tries to dream himself simply because Jay Gatsby made a hopeful future seem so ideal and attainable. Once Nick realizes he can't do exactly that, he gives up, throws it all away, and is left with only the memories that ultimately matured him to tell his story, to tell his reasoning about how and why Mr. Gatsby has become so respectable and great. in his eyes: Gatsby had an incorruptible dream of love, and this was what had completely magnetized Nick to his polar opposite.
