1) Meyer Wolfsheim allows the reader to learn more about Gatsby that we otherwise would not have learned. His character gives us some background of the background on Gatsby while also provoking us to question his past.
2) Gatsby's previous relationship with Daisy shows us that he lives only to reclaim his past relationship with her, and that that is his goal at this point in his life. This allows us to realize that this desire is the motive behind everything that he does in the story.
3) The rest of Gatsby's past allows us to see that he is not necessarily the most truthful person and that he lies about many details throughout the story. We also realize that Gatsby is not some "God" but a much more common man behind all of his wealth.
4) I began to like Gatsby more throughout these chapters as you've discovered the hardships that he has gone through and that he hasn't necessarily just been handed everything in life.
