“I
forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth” (2).
STATEMENT:
Nick
is proven to be an unreliable narrator due to the use of repetition and fancy diction.
PROOF:
For instance, he repeats the word “snobbishly” when describing both his father and himself.
EXPLANATION:
This emphasizes that both men are wealthy and arrogant.
PROOF
2: Furthermore, Nick uses abstruse language, such as “fundamental” and “parceled.”
EXPLANATION
2: The elevated diction exemplifies his tendency to show off his education.
SYNTHESIS:
Therefore, Nick is unreliable, not because he is a terrible person, but because his life with money has made him unaware of how the world works. His ignorance indicates that we cannot trust what he says.
