Nick is the first one that makes any calls regarding what
had happened to Gatsby. Because he did so, every practical question or idea about the
situation seemed to be referred to him. He notes that others just weren't around or
available. Nick tried to connect with Daisy, but they were gone. He realizes that this
came down to just him because no one else took interest in doing something about the
fact that Gatsby was gone. It became his responsibility because no one else stepped up
to take responsibility or even wanted the
responsibility.
Then, he feels responsible to make sure
that people attend because everyone should be honored in their death. He feels like it
should be easy enough to find one person who cares. This is why he went to Wolfsheim. He
thought if anyone, Wolfsheim would care. But Wolfsheim can't because he sees plenty of
people die in his line of work and to get sensitive now would be a problem for
him.
