The quote foreshadows that there will be a tragic dimension to the story. However, at the end, the line makes an unexpected turn when Nick adds, "But even I have a limit." Thus, while Nick is inclined-because of his upbringing and the advice of his father-to imagine the best of people, he also reveals that that advice has not always served him, and that he has also been led to see the worst in people as well. This opening line of narration shows us that Nick is someone who wants to see the glass always as half full, and to give people the benefit of the doubt. This quote starts off the movie and demonstrates a fundamental character trait of Nick's: he has a resolute desire to see the best in people. As a consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgements. "Always try to see the best in people," he would say. In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice.
