What is the name of the narrator in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'?

The narrator of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is Nick Carraway.

Nick is a young man from the American Midwest who moves to West Egg on Long Island in 1922 to work as a bond salesman. His small house stands next to Jay Gatsby's mansion, placing him close to the extravagant parties and hidden conflicts that drive the novel.

Nick narrates in the first person and presents himself as an unusually tolerant observer, though his judgments become sharper as the story unfolds. He is also Daisy Buchanan's cousin, which helps Gatsby reconnect with Daisy, his former love. Through Nick's eyes, readers see Gatsby's idealism, Daisy and Tom's privilege, and the moral carelessness of the wealthy world surrounding them.

Readers sometimes mistake Gatsby for the narrator because he dominates the title and plot. Gatsby is the central figure, but Nick is the storyteller and a participant in the events. The novel was published in 1925 and follows Nick's disillusionment with the Jazz Age before he returns to the Midwest.
