Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby, these 2 have a very peculiar realtionship. Why did Gatsby befirend Nick? When they met at the party, Gatsby was as nice as one could be to a stranger and from that point on, Gatsby has nothing but friendly intentions, so it seems. For later we learn that Gatsby wants Nick to arrange for him to have tea with Daisy so Gatsgy can "coincidently" meet Nick and finally see Daisy for the first time in 5 years.
This is very interesting for it opens a world of possibilities, well, one really. This entire time, has Gatsby been befriending Nick just to get to Daisy? It appears that way. However I think Gatsby's motives are pure, somewhat. He really, really likes Daisy. So he uses Nick to get what he wants. but i see it more as killing 2 birds with one stone. While he plays it his plan to rekindle what he had with Daisy, he gains a soon to be (if not already) great friendship with Nick. But, since the motives to initiate this friendship were to gain access to Daisy, does make for an interesting future. Let us see how this plays out.
