How Fred views me, the narrator

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the view differs greatly from The House of Mirth.  Instead of an all knowing narrator who could tell the reader about the hidden motives and emotions of the characters, the narrator is a character in the story, watching the plot unravel as the reader does.  This creates several limitations the omniscient narrator didn't have.  The narrator is a character, so he interacts with other characters and changes the course of the plot.  This narrator is also emotionally involved in the story, so his point of view could be based on his feelings towards something.  When the narrator, Nick Carraway, tells the reader, "'Never heard of them,' he remarked decisively.  This annoyed me.  'You will,' I answered shortly.  'You will if you stay in the East,'" (Fitzgerald, 10).  The fact that he was annoyed shows he is emotional, and his side of the story could be different due to this.  He could also not know something about a character that would be important to know.  Gatsby at this point has remained a very mysterious character.  An all knowing narrator could have given the reader an insight into the life of Gatsby.  In this story however, Gatsby will likely be revealed as Nick Carraway gets to know him.
