Well, it is unclear in the first few chapters, but after that I think it becomes clear. Take a look at the title of the book...that should be your first hint.
Nick Carraway is the narrator, but a pretty peripheral one. Think about it. He does not take part in much of the action of the book, but simply observes it so that readers can have access to it. Here's a little bit more on Nick's role as a narrator: http://www.shmoop.com/literary-devic...ive-voice.html Also, check out the "character roles" link under the "characters" tab if you want to see more on why Gatsby is the protagonist. |
