In the novel Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald Nick Carraway, is the confidant. His curiosity gave us a tour of Jay Gatsby's life. The reason why he is the confidant is because he is a good listener to everyone. He also becomes good friends with Gatsby who seems like the hero in this novel. He is also related to Daisy who is the heroine.
Nick's character changes the plot through out the novel. This is because everyone is so comfortable to tell him everything. Which gives him the inside stories of everyone life and everything that happens. He is basically the middle man to everyone. He helps the reader understand what is going on because he describes it through his eyes.
I think the book wouldn't be as good if we didn't know who was the telling the novel. It wouldn't be as interesting like it is when someone who is actually involved in the story. It gives us a perspective of what to imagine.
