Question

In "the great Gatsby": Why does nick change his feelings toward jordan

Nick's statement here is important to the novel as a whole, because Nick keeps emphasizing how honest, nonjudgmental, and objective he is, when as a narrator he is unreliable, and is judgmental and subjective. There is certainly a degree of irony in Nick's remark that honesty is his cardinal virtue.
