Comment
AO1 Places emphasis on Nick's role in the novel, which might have been off the mark, but actually results in a pleasingly personal, if slightly less focused, response.
AO2 The emphasis on Nick's role results in a series of useful observations on how meaning is shapes or coloured within the narrative.
AO3 A broad sense of America during the 1920s.
AO4 Helpful, if rather basic, opening link to Greek tragedy.
AO5 A sense that different perspectives are invited by this text, with leanings towards (rather than real engagement with) narrative theory.
