Gatsby! Ch 1-4

Gatsby and Nick are both somewhat detached from their surroundings. Compare and contrast this sense of detachment. How are they similar and/or different in this respect?


They are similar in the respect that their wealth lets them enjoy some comfort. When Tom goes to Wilson's garage an into the city he keeps his pompous air about him.  And when Gatsby is at his party he is comfortable in his elusive role.
