Narrator
Nick Carraway
Our narrator: a Yale-educated young man from a solid Midwestern family, newly arrived on Long Island to learn the bond business in the summer of 1922. Reserved, observant, and slow to judge, he has a habit of drawing confidences out of strangers almost against his will, and a poet's eye for the world passing in front of him.

Nick's Father
Nick's father, the steady head of a prominent Midwestern family with interests in the hardware trade. A man of few words and quiet authority, he is the source of the measured, rather patrician advice his son has been turning over for years.
