The correct answers are: “He is rather self-righteous” and “He considers himself to be a role model to others”. Taken from the “<em>The Tenth Story</em>” within the book “<em>The Decameron</em>” by Giovanni Boccaccio (1353), the speech presented in the excerpt above narrates the moment when Gualtieri explains the purpose of his tormenting Griselda all the previous years. Gualtieri reveals that he did all that in order to show her “<em>how to be a wife</em>” and to teach people “<em>how to choose a keep a wife</em>”, since <u>he considered himself to be </u><u>a role model</u>. The speech also describes Gualtieri’s personality, since he was too proud of his own moral behaviour and beliefs, in a way that annoyed other people. In fact, it is mentioned in the excerpt above that people despised his behaviour (“<em>and for those who considered me a cruel and bestial tyrant</em>”). This is why <u>one could describe him as </u><u>a self-righteous person</u>.

Find evidence in The Great Gatsby that supports Nick's belief and explain why this is in fact true or, argue the opposite, that
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Nick is correct in believing that Gatsby is a man not to be trusted.

Explanation:

Nick Carraway is a character in "The Great Gatsby". Despite being Gatsby's neighbor and attending his parties, he doesn't know anything about Gatsby. He doesn't know how Gatsby got rich, what he does, who his family is, nothing. Nor does anyone in the neighborhood know anything about Gatsby.

For this reason, Nick has serious suspicions about Gatsby and the little he finds out about Gatsby during the narrative, makes him more suspicious, about Gatsby's position in relation to what is outside his objectives. For this reason, he is correct in not thinking that Gatsby is a reliable man.
