Here are three discussion questions about The Great Gatsby: Why does Fitzgerald choose to narrate the story through Nick Carraway? How does Nick's perspective and role in the events shape the reader's understanding of the characters and plot? How does Gatsby's obsession with recapturing the past through Daisy drive the narrative forward? Why does he cling so desperately to the hope of recreating their romance from five years ago? Who truly holds power in Tom and Daisy's marriage? Their dynamic seems outwardly traditional, but clues throughout suggest a more complex relationship beneath the surface. How do they exert influence and control over one another?
