Nick Carraway has lunch with Gatsby and Meyer Wolfsheim.
Nick feels responsible for getting people to the funeral because he is one of the only individuals who was close to Gatsby. Wolfsheim reacts the way he does by not attending the funeral because he has a pragmatic view of the situation—Gatsby is dead, and there is no need for him to attend as it serves no purpose. Wolfsheim's character is portrayed as cold and calculating, and his decision not to attend reinforces this perception.
The irony lies in the fact that Gatsby finally finds Wolfsheim's office after years of searching, only to be told that Wolfsheim is too busy to see him. This reversal of roles highlights the fleeting and insincere nature of the wealthy elite's social connections in the novel.
