Gatsby and Myrtle were both killed in the act of following their dreams. Gatsby main factor that leaded up to his death was the fact Gatsby was passionately in love with Daisy, since he was so in love with Daisy. “You’re acting like a little boy,” I broke out impatiently. “Not only that, but you’re rude. Daisy’s sitting in there all alone.”
I think that the true cause of the death of these two characters is Gatsby himself. Furthermore, in the story, the reader can notice how desperate Gatsby is to get back with Daisy and reunite. Gatsby is obviously trying to meet Daisy, who he has not seen in five years. If Gatsby had just let everything go, this could have
Tom was angry at Gatsby for trying to steal his wife from him. He wanted revenge on Gatsby, and so that’s why he told George that Gatsby was the one who killed Myrtle. The actions of the broken heart of both George and Tom were what led to the death of Gatsby. Gatsby’s death was not brought on by himself, but by the selfish and heartbreaking actions of the people around him. Gatsby had the best intentions with Daisy, he wanted to give her a good
The ultimate consequence of Gatsby’s affair with Daisy is Gatsby’s murder. Gatsby and Daisy’s affair enrages Tom, Daisy’s husband, leading him to manipulate Wilson into killing Gatsby. Shortly after Wilson murders Gatsby, Tom states that “[Gatsby] had it coming to him” (Fitzgerald 115). Tom believes this is due to his rage over Myrtle’s, his mistress’s, death. Tom tells George Wilson, Myrtle’s husband, that Gatsby intentionally ran over Myrtle with his car, resulting in her death.
Gatsby uses the last five years of his life trying to achieve his one goal of obtaining Daisy as his wife and spending the rest of his life with her, but what happens to him instead is unexpected and undeserved. Jay Gatsby got shot and killed by George Wilson. Gatsby did not sleep with Myrtle, he is an honorable man and would not sleep with another man’s wife. Gatsby also did not kill Myrtle, if he did he would have stopped the car and not just kept driving. Daisy did not talk to Gatsby ever again after the accident.
Death is the ending to every life story. The thing that nobody talks about at the end of those stories is the people around them. People continue on and persevere in their lives after a death, such as Daisy having to continue being unhappy, George knowing he had to kill Lennie, and Oliva living out Inman’s story. In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan had feelings for each other that had to be ignored due to Daisy being married. These feelings caused tension between Gatsby and Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan.
As for Jay Gatbsy, we see that after Myrtle's death, He has somewhat accepted that his dream will never come true and was eventually killed but his desire to keep Daisy safe. In the end, both Gatsby and Myrtle knew deep down that their dreams and goals were lost and crushed, But not wanting to let go of them just yet caused them to both lose their lives and everything they worked
In the two books The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Great by Sara Benincasa there are many similarities and differences between the deaths of Jacinta Trimalchio and Jay Gatsby. Both characters were protecting someone they love which resulted in their deaths. But though they died for similar reasons the way the characters died were very different One similarity between the two characters deaths was why they died. In The Great Gatsby when gatsby and daisy where driving home from New York myrtle ran in front of the car and ended up getting hit and dying gatsby and daisy drove away as if nothing happened.
Gatsby is consistently putting himself at odds because of his captivation with Daisy, prompting his own actions to be the basis for his death. Even though Gatsby is largely responsible for his own downfall, George Wilson believes that Gatsby killed his wife leading to him physically killing Gatsby. After hearing who killed Myrtle, her husband, George Wilson, went after the killer. On Gatsby’s property, one of Gatsby’s associates, “...Wolfsheim’s proteges- heard the shots...(Fitzgerald 124). George physically took the gun and shot Jay Gatsby after his wife’s death as revenge.
The loss of his wife drove him mad, and he was not willing to let Gatsby walk freely. After killing Gatsby, Wilson took his own life with the same gun. This love that drove him mad was also the death of him. Gatsby was also killed by love because he was not the one that killed Myrtle. Daisy killed Myrtle, but Gatsby loved her too much to see harm come to her.
Everything in life has a cause, a reason behind its existence. Some instances are more complicated than others. Gatsby’s death was the result of a domino effect, each event leading up to the other. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is the most accountable for Gatsby’s death because he is the one who knows the most, but says the least. Tom Buchanan’s character is the most parasitical one in the book.
The initial event that contributes to Gatsby's death is Myrtle's death. While this death was very odd since she ran into
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, presents an illusive titular character, Jay Gatsby, who is a man shrouded in mystery and speculation. Rumors about his past swirled around him. Ideas such as him being a German spy in the war to killing a man have drifted in-and-out of listeners' ears. Unknowingly to listeners, the heart of Gatsby’s story lies the transformation from James Gatz, a poor farm boy from North Dakota who dreams of leaving his impoverished life, to an enigmatic and wealthy figure who seems to rule Long Island, New York. This transformation is not simply a matter of acquiring wealth, but of shedding his past self and the shame that comes with it.
Which was a foolish mistake, this mistake ultimately leads to his murder, he dies a very sad and disturbing death being shot by Myrtle’s husband George while in his state of grieving. Gatsby also lacks the ability to move forward. This characteristic also does not work to his benefit due to the outcome of his death. Gatsby refuses throughout the novel to see reality, he had so much love and lust in the past, that it just overwhelms his heart and he believes that that is the only place he can be happy, so he constantly tries to relive it. He wastes so much time in the past, that he does not see the true potential of him as a person.
As seen in many headlines, Jay Gatsby was tragically murdered by George Wilson after a misconception that Gatsby killed Mr. Wilson’s wife, Myrtle Wilson, in a car accident and also because he believed they were having an affair; however, Gatsby was not having an affair with Mrs. Wilson, but instead with Daisy Buchanan. Not pertaining to the details, it was obvious that Daisy and Gatsby had been deeply in love. Rumors say that after Gatsby dies, Daisy Buchanan left town with her husband, Tom. Unhappily, Daisy failed to endure without Gatsby and she started to seek ways to communicate with
