After everything went wrong and people died, Nick came up with a theory. "Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life." If I were Nick I might have thought the same thing. That is such a weird situation to be in during your life and it can really change you as a person. If you think about it, nothing at all worked out for them. Humor is the right way to go to describe such a unique and inexplicable state of affairs.
