"I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
-page 60
In this quote, the narrator directly characterizes himself. The narrator's first name is Nick, which is found out on page 59. Nick prides himself on his honesty. He obviously does not have much trust in other people. Maybe there was one large event or several events that lead him to lose trust for other people. He clearly does not care much for dishonest people. He is someone who refuses to be dishonest with people. He apparently has a girlfriend at home, but is starting to have feelings for Jordan Baker. He wants to break off things with her before he does anything with Jordan. He does not want to two-play any women, because it would be dishonest. I have a feeling that the honesty issue will probably come up again in the novel.
