 Even Nick Carraway, the narrator of Gatsby, is in some aspects a classic
 case -- we can't be sure whether his infatuation with, or loathing of, the
 various characters colors his narrative.  >>
  
    When Nick yells to Gatsby across his lawn that he is better than the rest
of them ( the Buchanans and the Jordan Bakers) I always thought this was his
own merry -go-round moment. 
    Lardner uses rubes as his narrators quite often. Their perceptions are
quite often not the reality that we, as readers, are aware of. Rather than
using the beautiful, innocent child as a window, Ring uses some pretty ugly,
ignorant adults.
