- Nick and Jordan
- Nick claims "I am one of the few honest people I have ever known"
- But Jordan is "incurably dishonest"
- Unsatisfactory ship because reader sees how Nick elevates himself to a moral figure but is unjustified
- "Well I met another bad driver didn't I"
- Relationship highlights the flaws of the narrative
- who should the reader align themselves to?
- Is Nick any different from the others in GG?
- Nick is just more judgemental and artificial
- Lack of emotion in GG society is unsatisfactory
- "I don't give a damn about you now, but it was a new experience for me, and I felt a little dizzy for a while"
- Lack of genuine emotion and caring - she started to fall in love it calls it "dizzy"
- Link to Daisy and Gatsby where Daisy doesn't come to the funeral
- "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and hen retreated back to their money"
- LInk to Wolfsheim not coming to G's funeral

- Pelagia and Correlli

- Not how their romantic love story should have ended
- after years of loving each other, they finish cycling on a motorbike
