Question

How does tom's treatment of mrs. wilson affect nick?

Answer 1

Nick is repulsed by the way Tom treats Myrtle; he sees Tom for what he truly is and how he truly sees women. He sees that Tom treats women like property-because he pays for the apartment in the city and buys her things he believes that he can treat her however he wants to (including breaking her nose). Nick is truly disillusioned by the whole upper society in general after this incident.
