I'm going crazy trying to define who the protagonist is in The Great Gatsby. I find myself going between Nick or Gatsby.
I've done two character outlines and two rough drafts trying to explain my reason for choosing either one. I feel like I'm going around in circles.
My reason for picking Nick would be because I see the most amount of change in him. At the beginning he seems to be a bit taken by the wealthy. By the end of the book he sees them in a different light, sees how shallow and careless they are and because of that decides to move back to the midwest.
On the flipside I feel Gatsby is the protagonist because without him there is no story. It all revolves around him. Why I doubt myself on this is because I really don't see any change in him. He seems so static.
Any great words to help me along?
