When first meeting the mysterious Gatsby, Nick did not have a full understanding of what was going on, but by the end of the novel Nick became one of the most impacted by his demise. What happened? I do not look at the relationship between the two admiration but more of true friendship. I feel as if Nick sees himself in Gatsby. The true Gatsby I should say. Nick sees the loneliness in Gatsby and can relate to that on a major level. Although Nick did not fully agree on most of the things Gatsby has done but he can understood why he was doing each of his actions. This is what brought them close to each other. (less)
