CASE FILE VICTIM: MYRTLE WILSON TIME: 22:00 P.M. DATE: Aug.26.1922 SITE: GEORGE WILSON’S AUTOSHOP, VALLEY OF ASHES An incident took place last night at about 10.00 pm in front of George Wilson’s auto shop in which Myrtle Wilson, his wife, was killed by a speeding car racing down the road as she tried to cross to the other side. the car was bright yellow, and the driver ended up speeding away after hitting her, according to eye witnesses.
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.”
Although George Wilson pulled the trigger, Myrtle Wilson was the underlying suspect in the murder. If Myrtle wasn’t cheating on George, then she wouldn’t have gotten hit the night of the scene, because she would not have run out in front of the car. Myrtle ran out in front of the car, thinking it was her affair, however “her life was violently extinguished” (Fitzgerald 124). She gets hit by Gatsby's car and dies, and this leads to George feeling
(102). But Daisy is never honest about being the one who was driving the car that hit and killed Myrtle. She let Gatsby take the fault for it and Gatsby ended up being killed because Wilson thought it was Gatsby who killed Myrtle. Daisy did what was best for her not what was right. John stayed and dealt with his consequence which ended in his death but he never ran from his mistakes he dealt with them head on.
“The Great Gatsby” is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and in that novel, there were some deaths. All deaths were unnecessary and they could have been avoided if certain changes were made or a lot of decisions that could have been made differently. But the real question is, who is to blame for the deaths? It is mostly Nick’s, and the Universe's fault, and I can prove it to you very simply. First off, Nick is very good friends with Tom & Gatsby.
In Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, there are two characters by the names of Tom Buchanan and George Wilson. Throughout the book, these two particular characters seem to be very different from each other in nearly every way. However, it becomes clear as the story continues that they share some ideas and attitudes in common. Specifically, Tom and George were noteworthy in the way they felt about women, the methods by which they conveyed violence, and how they responded to their wives cheating on them.
The public depicts George Wilson as being crazy. The reports say that he was grief stricken. Stating that Wilson thought Myrtle was having an affair with Gatsby. 3. Gatsby’s involvement with illegal alcohol continues after his death. The phone calls from Chicago shows just how getting involved in ruthless activity yields murky results.
Why do people not always get what they deserve? Gatsby does not get what he should. Tom and Daisy also do not get what they deserve. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald shows how people do not always get what they deserve.
Myrtle Wilson’s husband is named George Wilson, unfortunately, she is miserable being married with him. She is having an affair with Tom, “There is always a halt there of at least a minute and it was because of this that I first met Tom Buchanan’s mistress.” (Fitzgerald ## ) Nick Carraway implies that Myrtle is having an affair with Tom. Myrtle married George Wilson because she thought that he had money so she married him, later she discovered that he is not wealthy and married Myrtle with a borrowed suit. She feels better that she cheats on him with Tom Buchanan.
Wilson’s POV: As I approached Gatsby’s estate, I felt God’s eyes following my every movement, beckoning me to avenge my beloved wife who was ripped away from me. I was going to take her somewhere safe, where she would no longer be pursued by other men, but I failed her, I failed Myrtle. The monster Gatsby may have thought that he could escape from his sins, stealing my wife and then throwing her away like garbage, but God saw everything, and he could not run forever. His inconsiderate actions have angered our Father, who did not approve of such a manipulative man with revolting hauteur. Gatsby lived like a king in his castle, protected by his wealth, and oblivious to the consequences of his actions.
Although the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald emphasizes the parties and prosperity of the American 1920's, it reveals many major characters meeting tragic ends. The characters who meet these ends - Jay Gatsby, Myrtle Wilson, and George Wilson - possess the same tragic characteristic: they endeavor for something more out of their lives than what they have. This ambition for what they could not have ultimately spelled their doom: Gatsby wanted money and Daisy; Myrtle wanted wealth and luxury, and sought it from Tom Buchanan; Wilson earned what he could only to please Myrtle. The Great Gatsby reveals a tragic nature through the trials and tribulations these characters endure to progress and prosper, only to receive death for their ambition. The exciting and wild time period of the "Roaring Twenties" provides a stark contrast to the deaths in order to further highlight the tragic nature of the novel, and leaves a theme that even those with the most hope and strong ambitions can fail and die miserably, no matter how much money they have.
Polo player Tom Buchanan had an ongoing relationship with George Wilson 's wife Myrtle that ended very dramatically with the death of Myrtle in a car accident as well as causing the murder of Jay Gatsby. It was not till this time where George started to realize that his wife was having an affair and this made him very upset as Nick says “He had discovered that Myrtle had some sort of life apart from him in another world and the shock had made him physically sick. ”(Fitzgerald 130). Tom took Gatsby 's car to get gas at George 's garage on his way to the city to meet with Gatsby. While getting gas Myrtle saw that it was Tom in the car and was upset because she was locked in a room and wasn 't allowed to see anyone.
Throughout The Great Gatsby, Myrtle Wilson desired to fit in with the upper class; however, her marriage to George Wilson prevented such from occurring. Myrtle failed to recognize her husband’s hard work and true character due to her efforts to rise in social status. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald emphasized Myrtle’s hatred towards her marriage through her conversation with Catherine, depicting how people of the twenties focused more on wealth and power compared to moral American values. As readers closely evaluate the moment of Myrtle’s dialogue, she dictated her feelings towards her marriage in a way that supposedly justified her infidelity.
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I believe that Daisy is to blame for Gatsby’s death. This claim can be proven through Daisy’s continuous affair with Gatsby despite Tom’s suspicions, Daisy selfish nature, and the fact that she killed Myrtle herself and let Gatsby take blame. For example, Daisy’s continuous affair with Gatsby despite Tom’s suspicion was one of the factors in Gatsby’s death. One example of this is when Nick witnesses “Daisy’s face was smeared with tears, and when I came in she jumped up and began wiping at it with her handkerchief” (89).
