is set up to
be, as the narrator, the moral
center of the novel. He has been raised in the midwest, a place
that is set
aside in the novel as being somehow separate from the setting for the novel, a
place
that maintains its morals just as Nick has. He notes that he tries to
maintain a sense of
detachment, and it is clear in the way that he describes
the people in the story that he does
not judge people quickly or definitively
and the reader is allowed to form their own judgments.
He is also honest,
insofar as the reader can tell, as he relates the events and also opens up
his own personality to the reader that lends further credence to his place as a
moral
actor.
