Explain Nick's complex attitude towards Gatsby.

-How does he see him through the book?

-Does it change?

-How does Nick see him after he's dead?

Nick's attitudes toward Gatsby and Gatsby's story are ambivalent and contradictory. At times he seems to disapprove of Gatsby's excesses and breaches of manners and ethics, but he also romanticizes and admires Gatsby, describing the events of the novel in a nostalgic and elegiac tone.
