Jay and Nick

First off, Gatsby is a fake.  It seems like he is just using Nick to get closer to Daisy.  Many of us have done something like this at any point in our lives, so it isn't a huge deal, and it doesn't portray Gatsby as a villain.  Nick seems like he wouldn't be crushed if Gatsby told him he wasn't his best friend in the whole wide world.  Their relationship is real since Gatsby knows what he wants, and Nick has accsess to it, and they seem like friends.  Through Daisy, the two have met, and without her they might not have ever seen eachother.
