Nick spends most of his time with Gatsby himself at Gatsby's parties and events. Although he interacts with other guests and acquaintances, Gatsby is the primary person he interacts with and observes closely.
The people on horseback who visit Gatsby's house in "The Great Gatsby" are a trio of well-to-do guests from East Egg. They are Jordan Baker, Tom Buchanan, and Daisy Buchanan.
Jordan Baker finds it hard to believe the gossip about Gatsby's past, particularly the rumor that he once killed a man. She expresses skepticism about the wild stories circulating about Gatsby, reflecting the general curiosity and confusion surrounding Gatsby's mysterious background among the party guests.
Nick meets a variety of people at Gatsby's party, including the host himself, Jay Gatsby, as well as Jordan Baker, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan, and other guests who are part of New York's upper class society. The party is attended by socialites, businesspeople, and those looking to indulge in the lavish entertainment and atmosphere.
One example of fake friendship in The Great Gatsby is the relationship between Jay Gatsby and many of the guests who attend his parties. These guests only befriend Gatsby for his wealth and extravagant lifestyle, not out of genuine care or interest. Another example is the friendship between Tom Buchanan and Nick Carraway, where Tom pretends to be friendly with Nick to gain information about Gatsby and manipulate the situation to his advantage.
The guests are uninvited and don't even know who Gatsby is.
It is important for Nick to thank Gatsby because Gatsby had extended his hospitality and generosity toward him. Thanking Gatsby shows appreciation for his kindness and helps maintain a positive relationship between them. It also reflects Nick's gratitude and good manners.
Gatsby's funeral is attended only by Nick Carraway, a few of Gatsby's former business associates, one of Gatsby's party guests, and the minister who had originally officiated the funeral for Gatsby's father. Daisy Buchanan, Tom Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Meyer Wolfsheim do not attend the funeral.
Nick finds the party guests in "The Great Gatsby" to be superficial, insincere, and full of excess. He senses an air of pretentiousness and shallowness among them, which leaves him feeling somewhat detached and uncomfortable.
The list of Gatsby's guests is included in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" to highlight the extravagance and superficiality of the Jazz Age society. These guests are part of Gatsby's lavish parties, symbolizing the hedonistic lifestyle and moral corruption that permeated that era. The list serves to underscore the theme of emptiness and the pursuit of wealth and status at all costs.
Gatsby is at his mansion in West Egg when Nick speaks with him for the first time in the book "The Great Gatsby." Gatsby has been mysteriously throwing extravagant parties but remains elusive to most guests.
