Answer:

Nick’s complex attitude toward Gatsby. Was because of two reasons, first because he admired him as he represented Nick's ideal. Second, because he wanted to know what were his reasons for being the person he was.

Gatsby was great because he was recognized by society, he was a mystery, and he represented the general concept of success. Evidence of this is that his house was always filled with important people eager to meet him and enjoy his company.

Explanation:

The reasons behind these answers are that in the first place Nick arrived at the egg's zone in the search of a career, success, and something to go back home and show his family he had made it. Then suddenly he finds out about mister Gatsby, his mysterious neighbor that is admired by everyone, and somehow he recognizes him in the darkness of a random day. He was recognized by society because he was handsome, he was incredibly mysterious and had achieved many impressive goals. He represented a young successful male in the middle of the most successful environment available.
