Gatsby and Nick are both somewhat detached from their surroundings. Compare and contrast this sense of detachment. How are they similar and/or different in this respect?
When Nick was at Gatsby's party for the first time, he noticed that Gatsby was standing alone observing his guests. Gatsby was not drinking and he didn't seem to be having much fun.
On chapter 4, we realize that Gatsby and Daisy had an intimate relationship. Even though he is very wealthy, he loves her and he wants to get her back no matter what.
Nick has been observing and analyzing everyone.
