Gatsby manipulates almost everyone in The Great Gatsby. He is obsessed with his love for Daisy, this is his driving force throughout the book. He manipulates everyone in order to achieve his dream. In a way he even manipulates Daisy, his idealized version of her far exceeds her actual persona, so she is forced to become the unattainable 'perfect woman' Gatsby has made her into.
More obviously, however, Gatsby manipulates Nick, in order to stage his first meeting with Daisy. Gatsby succeeds in making Nick believe that they have a special connection, though inviting Nick to the party and divulging tales of his past, which are untrue, but convince Nick. (chapter 4) An interpretation of the text states that Nick is homosexual, which partly explains his 'special connection' to Gatsby.
It is worth remembering that Gatsby made his fortune through illegal business, so as such, he had deceived and manipulated many people. His manipulation of the characters through the course of the novel, in comparison, are relatively tame.
