masterpiece on screen, and it has done so in two
films: Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo and Juliet

through his eyes and ears that we form our
opinions of the other characters. Often, readers
of this novel confuse Nicks stance towards those
characters and the world he describes with those
of F. Scott Fitzgeralds because the fictional
world he has created closely resembles the world
he himself experienced. But not every narrator is
the voice of the author. Before considering the
