Nick is our guide in The Great Gatsby; he relates the story as he has seen it and from what others have told him. He strives at all times to be objective and to make balanced comments just as he said in the beginning of the book, ^I^m inclined to reserve all judgements.^ The role of Nick Carraway is so important to the book that the character of Jay Gatsby could not exist.
The first significant event is when Nick is invited to Gatsby's extravagant house party. The significance of this is that this is where Nick is truly introduced to Gatsby for the first time. Nick also begins to hear the rumors spread around about Gatsby that make you question his past.
