1) Wolfsheim is used to kind of expose Gatsby's unorthodox behavior in public. His actions and the responses by Gatsby are not typical and further alienate us from them.
2) We see Gatsby as a much more aloof character, who doesn't necessarily want to be in the spotlight. He'd rather be sunken in the background, but because of his wealthy status, that isn't really possible.
3) We consider Gatsby to be more of a man from the past as opposed to the future. It seems like his glory days have come and gone.
4) I am starting to like him less because he doesn't seem to have a clear purpose or focus. We still don't know what his true aspirations are, and the reasons behind those aspirations.
