I
The Great Gatsby
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
He didn’t say any more, but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.
In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores.

YOU
Why do you try to reserve judgment?
NICK CARRAWAY
My father reminded me that other people haven’t had all the advantages I’ve had. I’ve kept turning that advice over in my mind.
So I try to listen before I judge. It has made people willing to confide in me—though not every confidence is welcome.
Some characters

Now you can stay a while.
Ask a fellow reader what a scene might mean. Or pull up a chair with a fictional character and explore the world as they understand it.
Character conversations are AI interpretations shaped by the book—not new canon or impersonations of its author.
“Why did that small
moment feel so big?”
“What matters
most to you?”
