As the story approaches to an end, Nick assumes the role of a man of principle. He is frustrated with and disappointed at the shallowness of the people in the East—they take advantage of Gatsby and later abandon him.The narrator Nick reveals his perspective and criticizes the dark side of the society which is known as the “demoralization”. Klipspringer is a perfect representation of those party people: he calls Gatsby shamelessly requesting the shoes that he leaves at his house.
Chapter Eight reveals a significant development of Nick: he makes comments about various characters even though he previously states that he is “inclined to reserve all judgments”(2). Nick finally realizes and admits that Gatsby should be “exempt from [his] reaction”(2)
