Here the story is emotionally built with an underlying theme of lack of honesty in relationship of the characters. (Thesis) Discussing the Theme When looking at the novel from the perspective of honesty ,we can observe that the characters in the novel has nurtured corrupted ethical principles. None in the story except George has complied on honesty and all of them keep liaison with someone else’s husband or wife. Generally speaking, honesty is the most important aspect in any relationship and in its absence relationship decay and falls out to be absurd.

In this story, the first narrator Nick has not been honest in detailing the plot as he is favorable to Gatsby and his dishonest character. Nick knew Gatsby has affection for Daisy and still he manages to arrange a get together for both Gatsby and Daisy .This dishonesty portrayed by Nick allows Gatsby and Daisy to start an affair which culminates all the characters in the story to violence and disaster. Here the story overall is based on dishonesty of the narrator himself to all the characters in the novel. Nick is even a reason for the re- unification of Gatsby and daisy which is pathetic. Nick is aware that Gatsby is an illegal business man and despite this fact, he admires him, which in its very essence is a dishonest feeling. Apart from this he pushed Gatsby into more evil deed by connecting him with his married cousin Daisy.
