Jay and Nick are basically the two main characters of the Great Gatsby. (Duhh Jay Gatsby-The Great Gatsby) Anyways, these two characters are neighbors in the story. Nick to me is just being used by Gatsby. Gatsby never called for Nick or even knew Nick until Jordan Baker told Gatsby that Nick was related to Daisy. After that he sent someone over to invite him to one of his parties.
Nick ended up in the party not knowing what to do, he was interested in this Gatsby that not everyone knew. Gatsby never told any of his plans to Nick he used Jordan Baker to tell him that he wants him to set up a Date? between the two. It would have been a little better if Gatsby at least told him face to face what his plans were.
Nick seems to become Jay's friend overnight. Inviting him for lunch and introducing him to his other friends. Also fakes. In the end of Chapter 5, Nick realizes that he is left out and decides to abandoned the two lovers. He knew at that moment that Gatsby had gotten what he wanted (one again) and he doesn't care about anybody else other than Daisy.
No one seems to know much about Gatsby except for his past with Daisy and were he went to school. What does Gatsby do other than throw parties? This is one of the reasons why I think Gatsby is just using Nick.
