Nick is a judgemental person, who needs to be told to 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had.' this implies that Nick does judge people.

# data[].attributes.body
“He must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sun material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about.. like that ashen fantastic figure gliding towards him through the amorphous trees”

Nick has the ability to look into Gatsby’s life and to have empathy towards him, which is somewhat similar to how Brian may try to put himself in Sally’s shoes, or how he strongly opposes antisemitism.

# data[].attributes.body
Brian has a strong sense of justice, and even lashes out at the Nazis and ends up being beaten up.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Nick and Brian are educated, fairly well off characters. They both also

Nick and Brian act as observers, who judge the scenes around them. When Nick comments on Gatsby's reaction to Daisy's daughter "Afterwards he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don't think he had every really believed in its existence before."
At the end of the 'beer garden' scene, when Brian asks Max "Do you still think you can control them?"

When Nick arrives he wants to be part of the wealthy New York set. By the end he realises its superficial reality and wants nothing to do with them. Brian at first is unaware and naive of the Cabaret morality. Much like Nick, he returns to his home country with worldly knowledge on German politics and sex!

When Nick meets Jordan in Chapter One, his physical attraction to her is clear as he "enjoyed looking at her". Similarly to Gatsby being attracted to Daisy's voice and wealth, Nick is pulled to Jordan by her posture and her "wan, charming, discontented face". Later in the chapter, when Daisy claims that she'll "sort of—oh—fling you together [Nick and Jordan], Nick doesn't protest and this perhaps could be because Jordan can be considered a step up in money and status for Nick. This shows the reader that he is ambitious and class-conscious, despite the way he describes himself as someone who "reserves all judgements".

When Sally meets Brian, his lack of shock regarding her appearance and voice causes her to continue to amplify the false aspects of her past.
Brian's calm approach towards Sally at the door of the apartment evokes the response "you're meant to think I'm a woman of international mystery", and Brian still doesn't respond how Sally is used to people reacting to her.

Brian is a considerate and honourable character, who volunteered to live with Sally to care for the baby even though he did not intend to beforehand.

Nick is dishonest with himself and other people. He judges people even though he says he doesn't.

# data[].attributes.body
Nick serves to be an objective narrator of the issues happening in the book, whereas Brian serves as more of a blank slate character that you are supposed to project yourself onto.

# data[].attributes.body
Nick remains constant in his high opinion of his interactions and associations with people throughout the novel whereas Brian allows himself to be changed by the events that occur in Berlin. This is evident towards the end of the film where Brian is willing to sacrifice his education for Sally and their child, but when Sally returns to her old, flamboyant life - Brian also returns to the life he was accustomed to.

# data[].attributes.body
Brian is easily led by Sally and Max. As an example he accepts the blue sweater and the gold cigarette case from Max.

# data[].attributes.body
Brian is dishonest and cheats on Sally, even though he knew it was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Brian is mostly honest and straightforward, whereas Nick can be dishonest to himself and others.

Nick also says that he is 'inclined to reserve all judgement', but he is overall quite judgmental despite saying this. Brian on the other hand does not set standards when he first meets Sally, and does not harbor any prejudices against her.

Another difference between Brian and Nick is that Nick remains steadfast in his beliefs and opinions throughout the novel, whereas Brian is more open to new ideas. He allows himself as a person to be changed throughout the movie as he takes in new information.

# data[].attributes.body
Nick contradicts his own assessment of himself when he says he reserves judgement. When in fact he judges everyone he meets as well as being easily led for example Tom manages to push into coming with him to meet Myrtle. Jordan pushes him into inviting Daisy for tea.

Brians flaws consist of him being very easy to persuade into doing risky things.
