As of the conclusion of chapter three, I realize that I had Nick figured out all wrong. For the better part of the first three chapters, I thought Nick to be a soft spoken man who kept to himself, and didn't really go to wild. By the end of the third chapter, he has shown a slight tendency to drink and go to parties, as well as make a few eccentric friends. Among these friends are the abusive, adulterer Tom, the cheating Myrtle, wildy famous Jordan Baker, and the mysterious Jay Gatsby.
I was initially surprised when Nick attended the party in the second chapter, but thought he had perhaps not known the wild event he was attending. After attending Gatsby's party, I see I was wrong in my assumption that he was a man who wouldn't enjoy somewhat of a wild life. Furthering my surprise is that he has become somewhat close friends to Jordan, a person whom i thought he might want to avoid, especially given her seemingly rude introduction at their first meeting. Even more, he expresses that he has developed feelings for Ms. Baker, although he seems to have a girlfriend back home.
Although Nick is showing signs of being some type of party animal who might be fame hungry, I think he might still have more in common with my first opinion of him then it currently seems.
