At first, Nick thinks that Gatsby is shallow and insincere, but after a while of meeting with him outside of his lavish parties, he comes to realize that there is more to Gatsby than he had originally thought.
Nick has a renewal of complete faith in Gatsby because he sees Gatsbyβs genuine love for Daisy, despite his flaws, and recognizes the sincerity of his emotions. This leads Nick to appreciate Gatsbyβs capacity for hope and his idealism, which contrasts with the superficiality and immorality of the other characters in the novel.
Really, Gatsby was a big character with a lot of different sides that can mess Nick's and all reader head.
In the very beginning of the book, Nick gives Gatsby admirable looks and really looks up to his possession. Also, Gatsby's smile always makes the person being smiled to feel as if he was picked out from thousands of people and was the special one. Although it was thought that Nick was against the idea of Gatsby interrupting Daisy's life since she is already married, he did not interfere and did not do anything because as he said, he accepts what others says and listens to what they have to say but do not show any feelings or some sort of things like that. (I don't remember clearly)
Then, I think Nick had doubts about Gatsby's source of income and who he really hangs out with, but not scorn, because of his encounter of Meyer Wolfsheim and his "gonnection" and "side businesses". But in the end, though there were multiple feelings toward Gatsby, Gatsby was appreciated as someone for Nick had an unaffected scorn in that all east eggers are very corrupted and had abortive sorrows while Gatsby was the only one who had something, a goal/dream, to reach out for and strive for; for he had a real love for Daisy, cared about her, and selflessly worked up his sleeves to become rich for the sole reason of gaining Daisy's love back.
