In the Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald there are many people in the novel to relate to, and most people have a certain character in which they feel the most connected to. For me, I relate to the most to Nick and how he acts around others throughout the novel. He is always the middle man in all of the conflicts, that tries to remain neutral and not cause any more conflict. This aspect applies to me more than I would like, but nevertheless it happens.
Nick is my most related character because of how he is the person everyone goes to when they have issues and need someone to talk to. I'm also tolerant and always slow to judge others just like Nick perceives himself. The downfall of being the middle man of all drama is eventually you find yourself not sure of what's right and what's wrong in the world. You find yourself dead center in every fight with people asking for your help from both sides and eventually you have to take a stand. This happens to Nick throughout the story plot and eventually he takes sides with Gatsby who he believes is the better choice. Good evidence of this is when in Nick yells "They're a rotten crowd... Your're worth the whole damn bunch put together." in chapter 9.
To conclude, being the middle man in a conflict like Nick and I try and be never really works out quite like we would hope. In the end of the Great Gatsby Nick eventually sways his favor towards Gatsby and takes his side over the snobby rich kind and throws out his neutrality.
