Nick is starting to become bitter and harsh towards the people of East Egg and Gatsby. He realizes that everyone here is selfish and greedy. Throughout this chapter, Nick's attitude changes.

When Nick leaves the party, he tries to recollect a phrase he once heard. This is starting to show that East Egg is starting to transform Nick into someone who is corrupt. The reader can notice this change in Nick by his actions and thoughts.
