Nick Caroway is the author of The Grea Gatsby. He comes from a wealthy family and has money, but nothing compared to the people who live around him. He's neither old or new money, but is moving to New York to try and become a bonds trader to get to the status of new money. He's currently renting a small house in the west egg, that he describes as "an eyesore". He used to be in the military and fought in World War 1. His father gave him advice and said: "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." As a result, Caroway spends time trying to convince the reader that he is not judgemental.
By F. Scott Fitzgerald choosing the specific narrator that he chose rather than a different kind of person or style, he accomplishes the idea of sort of taking you through an organized journey. As a reader you're able to get informed about the characters and the plot, but at the same time you're also able to enjoy and understand the book as well.
