Nick has a bias opinion towards gastby. His personal sentiments towards him clouds his judgment agains portraying the truth about Gatsby and being an objective character. Even though at the beginning of the novel nick state he has been thought not to judge any one and to keep his thoughts for him self he ends up judging every person he meets. Finding a fault in all of them.

(In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.") (1.1-3)

I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made […]. (9.136-145)
This quote then gives the final though of how nick sees gastby and how though his narrative voice nick portrays Gatsby as the victim in the novel. He is seen as the underdog who wanted to fit in however was rejected by "Careless" people.

-Not completely trustworthy and what the reader sees is his perception of the story, hence a biased narration. He isn't completely trustworthy as his judgments are contradictory and omit certain details from the reader's knowledge (like Gatsby's bootlegging business), portraying the lack of morals during this particular context. Reader learns Nick's own interpretation of the story (old-money).
"I am one of the few honest people I have ever known"
-Tone changes: he sometimes disapproves of Gatsby's excess but other times seems to romanticise him. Nostalgic and elegiac tone.
-Outsider in the Eastern society, characterisation based on Nick's opinion:
Gatsby --> "unaffected scorn" yet "better than the whole damn bunch put together"
Tom and Daisy --> "careless people"
Jordan --> "incurably dishonest"

-The reader depends on Nick as a narrator to judge Gatsby, feeling sympathy towards him and never really sensing him as a criminal. “I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified.” Gatsby's actions and their repercussions are then diminished by Nick's previous statement, which tells the truth about the central character but also portrays him in a positive light.

They're such beautiful shirts,' she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. 'It makes me sad because I've never seen such---such beautiful shirts before¨ (93-94)

-> Nick's voice is helpfull to understand the thoughts and actions that Gatsby takes. He is both narrator and participant. Part of Fitzgerald's skill in The Great Gatsby shines through the way he cleverly makes Nick a focal point of the action, while simultaneously allowing him to remain sufficiently in the background.
-> Nick has the distinct honor of being the only character who changes substantially from the story's beginning to its end. Nick, although he initially seems outside the action, slowly moves to the forefront, becoming an important vehicle for the novel's messages.

1. Through Nick's narrative voice it is possible to forseen Gatsby in the most favorable way as possible, this can be seen by the fact that Nick decides to introduce Gatsby until chapter 3 to create uncertainty and more suspence. As well, Nick decides to omit some facts about Gatsby or he does not go into much detail so the audience do not conceive negative thoughts towards him.

2. As Nick is bias towards Gatsby, he most certainly will like to portray Daisy and Tom, the ones responsible for Gatsby misfortune as bad and corrupted people.

3. As Nick is bias towards Gatsby, so It can be considered that it is not reliable for the audience to believe what he is narrating since some important facts will be omitted and Nick will always like to portray Gatsby in the most favorable way.

1. Nick is the one that sees that Daisy is not going to leave Tom, so the audience sees how Gatsby is living in his delusion of Daisy running away with him
"Now it was again a green light on a dock."

2. Because of Nick's bias towards Gatsby, he is not presented as a criminal, and everything Gatsby says is considered to be truth.
"Meyer Wolfshiem? No, he’s a gambler.’ Gatsby hesitated,"

3. When Nick meets Myrtle, she is seen as "She was in the middle thirties, and faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can" describing her as grotesque and with exaggerated features, a representation of the American Dream, as something damaged and decadent

Nick's narrative voice is not reliable, for although he did say he is "one of the few honest people I've ever known", he still is subjective and portrays his thoughts about the characters and situations which he narrates.

Gatsby: a fake façade was created around him
Parties: shows him as a lavish character
"The orchestra had arrived, no thin five piece affair but a whole pitful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and ..." (Chapter 3)
"The cars from New York are parked five deep in the drive"
(Chapetr 3)
Conjectures: adds an idea of mystery around him
"Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once"
(Pg. 44)
When he meets him: he is shown as the simplest character the narrator has vere known. Indeed, he didn't even recognized him.
"What!" I exclaimed . "Oh. I beg your pardon"
(Chapter 3)

Jordan:
She is acknowledged as dishonest by the narrator, even then Nick accepts her situation and do not cares.
"a suggestion that she moved her ball from a bad lie"
(End of Chapet 3)
"it made no difference to me. Dishonesty in a woman is a thing that you never blame deeply."
(Chapter 3)

Tom:
He is shown throughout the novel as an unfaithful, aggressive, supercilicious, arrogant, eugenicist character. This shows how Nick is an unreliable narrator, for he was always subjective about characters.
"Sturdy, straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner"
(Chapter 1)
"Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face, and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward"
(Chapter 1)

West Egg:
"Less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister constraint between them"
(Pg. 6)

The Valley of Ashes:
"A place forgotten by God"
(Chapter 4)
