Question

How does the narrator describe Gatsby?

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Gatsby had an extraordinary gift for hope, and a romantic readiness.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" is a story that tells about the character Jay Gatsby but through the eyes of Nick Carraway. The story is also a comparison of the rich and not so well to do families- West Egg and East Egg.

The first ever description of Jay Gatsby was in chapter 1 where Nick gave a somewhat vague description of what he thinks Gatsby may look like. Then in Chapter 3, the narrator was invited to a party at Gatsby's place. There, he and  Miss Baker met a drunken man among the books, in the library. This was the physical first appearance of Gatsby in person before Nick, the first time he have seen his neighbor in person. Later on in the story, Nick will find out by and by that his neighbor Jay has an extraordinary gift for hope and a romantic readiness in everything he aspires to do, especially in the case of Daisy, his former love.
