The narrator is one of the characters named Nick Carraway, his perspective seems very negative towards all of the social and money standards over on the east coast. He seems like a very simple man who doesnt know the ins and outs of the social society, and is very condescending (it seems like he feels like hes not as arrogant) or envious about it. He doesnt seem very social either.
He shows the outsider perspective, which matches really well with his personality and outlook on everyone and everything in west and east egg. His descriptions have a lot of intellectual thought and he seems to always be almost subtly analyzing whats going on, so you get a very real and straight picture of the places and the people. He relates more with people who might be reading the book, the person who may have some money, but is just working to get somewhere in life, and gets thrown into the high society life even when he doesnt want to.
