so the thing about what might happen if jay got to read tgg (the book as if nick wrote it) is that there’s 6 billion ways for it to go and they’re all fucking funny. these are examples of things i think jay would say to nick, especially if natsby happened

1. “You call me gorgeous three times in this book.”

2. “Do I really say old sport that much?”

3. “Nick. I would say you complimented me more than once.”

4. “Were you—Nick, were you trying to say ‘I love you’?”

5. “What happened between you and Mckee?”

6. “I think you judge people a lot more than you think you do.”

7. “Why are you talking about your cousin’s husband like this?”

i’m sure i’m not the first to say something like this, but let me tell you about my poc-passing-as-white jay gatsby headcanon!!

for some background, in the 1920s there was an interesting shift regarding (white) skin tones. previously, tans were viewed as a sign that a person worked out in the fields, and therefore a trademark of the lower class. however, slowly after the industrial revolution, it increasingly became a representation of luxury, since the rich upper class would have the time to lounge about and sunbathe at their leisure.

i say all this to show that a poc gatsby would have the ostensible class and wealth for a tan, which would ‘excuse’ a slightly browner skin tone in the public eye.

(the 20s was also the setting of passing by nella larsen, so that’s neat.)

in my vision, he’s biracial (maybe his mother was black & his father was a german immigrant) with skin light enough to pass for white.

the fact that nick states that gatsby keeps his hair neatly groomed and cut might be to prevent it from curling up.

additionally, i think it could contrast tom’s white supremacy & his fear of poc social progress.

it would also create a deeper divide between gatsby and daisy, and once again the contrast between him and tom. in my mind, daisy wouldn’t know about it until the point where tom reveals everything about gatsby’s bootlegging etc. with jay revealing it to her in the car ride back (oops then she hits myrtle).

then, when she chooses tom and the life of comfort, wealth, status, etc that their marriage offers, she also rejects not only gatsby’s new money but also his race.

it’s a lot more thematically significant for the american dream as well—it’s still unattainable and essentially tainted by capitalism, and it also emphasizes that it’s restricted to the white upper class. social mobility only becomes available to gatsby when he disguises his racial identity.

similarly, it fits with gatsby’s identity reconstruction—the quintessential american is white, rich, and educated.

daisy and tom have that ticket into society because they have that inherent thing that he will never have—pedigree, in both class and race. that’s something that even nick has.

(in my mind, he tells nick all about it the night before he dies & nick understands as best he can and doesn’t think less of him, because it further highlights the differences between his & gatsby’s relationship v. gatsby’s relationship with daisy; namely, the transparency -> acceptance give-and-take that he and daisy never had. because of having to hide himself from daisy in order to maintain her affection, he builds an expectation that he must be someone that he is not as well as developing a transactional definition of love (he gives, and people love him as long as he can continue to give) in order to be loved. therefore, nick’s immediate curiosity and fascination with who he truly is is foreign to him. not to get too into their dynamic lmao i just think it’s really interesting.)

finally, the very last part where nick is sitting and looking at the bay and thinking about the first immigrants and their dreams and how gatsby embodied the purity and naivety of those dreams is further exemplified by his racial ‘otherness.’

and there’s,,, technically nothing in the book to explicitly refute this from what i remember!

(n.b.: it has been a hot second since i’ve read tgg, so lmk if i’ve got anything wrong!)

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; SIDE C

Nick Carraway Propaganda:

Nick describes himself as being “one of the few honest people I have ever known.” His need to describe himself this way makes the reader question how much Nick can actually be trusted. (Not all that much...remember that he has been dating several girls in Minnesota potentially at the same time? And he's also unreliable because of his fondness for Gatsby, which is contrasted by his clear distaste for the other characters in the book. He sees Gatsby as a symbol of hope, which makes his perspective biased.)

Biased in favor of Gatsby (gay)

Minimises Gatsby's shittyness bc he's in love with him. Minimises his own part in events that lead to Gatsby's death. Cheating is fine if you are really really in love??

He starts the book by saying he’s unbiased but is biased throughout the whole thing. He spends the book continually judging his cousins husband Tom but excuses when his friend Gatsby does the exact same things. He describes Gatsby as different from the other rich people around him, but Gatsby does the same stuff everyone else is (to an arguably worse degree).

Eugenides Propaganda:

the entire plot hinges on a detail he lets the reader (and every other character) assume is true. I don't want to spoil it because it's a really fun reveal but he is lying from the first second he appears on the page and you can't trust him to tell the full truth about ANYTHING related to himself and his goals. he mostly does it to keep his advantage and not have other characters be suspicious of him but it's just so fun when you realise he's been lying the whole time
