Question

?because his love for daisy(this may not be her name, i forgot) is true and pristine ?

Answer 1

Robert Redford

Wow - you posted your question 10 minutes ago, and already you're giving up on an intelligent answer.  Gotta love somebody with patience.

Nick (the "narrator") is NOT the main character; he's just the Greek chorus in the tragedy.  Daisy IS the main character; Gatsby would be nothing without his drive to win her.

And if you don't know what a Greek chorus is... it's time to do a LOT more reading, because YOU don't have the right to criticize ANYBODY.

I have not read this novel, but there are a number of online study guides, and quite a few other resources on the web that can help you with this question.  Most of them have quite a bit of good information.  Have a look at these, and you should get some help with your work.  If you do a search you will find many other links.  .
