In the great gatsby, does the narrator (nick) redeem himself at the end of the novel when he renounces the lavish lifestyle and returns home?

In The Great Gatsby, Nick is constantly in a struggle between admiring the lavish lifestyles of the rich of New York, and hating the superficiality and fakeness that comes with these. This ambivalence is a source of tension throughout the story.

However, towards the end of the novel, Myrtle's death, Gatsby's murder, and everybody's reactions to the events finally convince Nick that this lifestyle is a selfish, rotten one. He decides he wants nothing to do with it anymore, and decides to return home. By taking these actions, Nick is finally able to redeem himself, as he is able to establish that he is a different character from everyone else, and that he values more important things.

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
