Nick : Narrator

  • non-judgemental –  “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.”  pg 1
  • People Frequently open up to him and he is bored of this and thinks its shallow.Most of the confidences were unsoughtfrequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon; pg1 

“If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him.”

  • What your like, How you act, Your morals/values , How people view you as a human being.
  • Something continuous, Things that come one after another linking together. 
  • Constant, Whole
  • Working/worked
  • Movement , “make a gesture towards someone”
  • unbroken success –  normal people make mistakes
