This study examines various narrative methods employed by Fitzgerald who tries to present a seemingly immoral character, Gatsby, in a sympathetic and favorable light. Through the effective use of repetitious narration, done by Nick and other character narrators such as Gatsby, Jordan, Wolfshiem, and Henry Gatz, of Gatsby’s dream of new identity and his dream of Daisy, Fitzgerald conveys the transcendental spirit at the bottom of Gatsby’s materialism which renders Gatsby’s materialism tragic rather than shallow.
Another narrative technique is the use of juxtaposition. By juxtaposing and dramatically contrasting the corrupt materialism of Tom/Daisy with Gatsby’s romantic idealism, Fitzgerald makes Gatsby a tragic hero. While juxtaposing Tom/Daisy and Gatsby, he develops a story of Nick’s changing attitude toward Gatsby. With a major modification of his initial judgments, Nick is guiding the reader to a similar moral evaluation of the characters.
Furthermore, Fitzgerald shows Wilson’s killing of Gatsby and his subsequent suicide are “holocaust” of two innocent people and their deaths are tragic waste, thereby gaining sympathy for Gatsby. For this, he creates suspense and urgency through repetitious shift of time, multiple perspective, and the reordering of events, encouraging readers to participate actively in the narrative process leading to dramatic catastrophe.
Fitzgerald uses various experimental narrative methods to persuasively characterize Gatsby as a “great” man. He creates a tightly knit, highly organized narrative structure as well. The pioneering narrative technique eventually plays a pivotal role in making The Great Gatsby a ‘great’ American novel.
