In F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," Nick Carraway views his cardinal virtue as honesty. Throughout the novel, he prides himself on being truthful and transparent, which sets him apart from the other characters who often engage in deception and moral ambiguity. Nick's commitment to honesty allows him to critically observe the lavish yet hollow lives of those around him, ultimately shaping his perspective on the American Dream and the moral decay of society.
Nick suspects that he lacks the virtue of courage. He often questions his own ability to step out of his comfort zone and confront difficult situations, leading him to doubt his strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
