analysis The plot develops by following a common thread:Gatsbys obsessed pursuit of his once-beloved girl Daisy.The novel is narrated by a minor character:Nick,the narrator,commentator and witness of all the events,which gives the novel the first-person point of view.Common model for analyzing the plot:Freytags pyramid plot.PlotanalysisTheplotdevelop6First-person points of viewThis mode limits the matter of the narratives to whatthe first person narrator knows,experiences,infers,or finds out by talking to the other characters.1.“I”:a fortuitous witness&author of the matter (Eg.Marlow in Heart of Darkness)2.“I”:a participant,but only a minor one (Eg.Nick in The Great Gatsby)3.“I”:myself,a central character (Eg.Jane Eyre&Great Expectation)First-personpointsofviewThi7Freytags
