In the first couple pages of The Great Gatsby, we are introduced to the narrator of the hot name is Nick Carraway. He claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgment", so one could assume that he will tell the story fully unbiased without is personal opinions. Even though we are only a few chapters into the book, i don't think this is fully true. When describing Gatsby, he describes him as a man who "represented everything for which he has an unaffected scorn." This comes across as Nick saying his very strong, and somehow judgmental feelings about Gatsby. A little bit later, he states another judgment, "It was a matter of chance that I should have rented a house in one of the strangest communities in North America." Here, it is very clear that he is saying his judgments and opinions about his community. I think even though it hasn't been that long in the book, Nick has already done his share of judging after he said he wouldn't. I am curios to see his attitude towards things sin the rest of the book.
