Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald nis a novel about tragedy. Gatsby and other characters make decisions that ultimately lead to his death. Many events that happen are due to the actions of a specific character. There are many events leading up to Gatsby's death, and many characters are involved. They all got mixed up in situations that they weren’t expecting and weren’t prepared for.
Gatsby purchased that house in that location in order to be closer to Daisy and easily show her he finally has the money she was looking for. Having that mansion also allows Gatsby to show off his fortune to Daisy by throwing parties. We are informed of this implication made by Jordan when she implies “I think he half have expected her to wander into one of his parties, some nights, but she never did” (79). Gatsby throwing all his ‘lavish parties’ is another example of him going to endless lengths to earn Daisy’s love. His enormous wealth is a symbol for the amount of work he has dedicated to impress
Gatsby’s dream was to be together with her and rose up the ranks of at first just being a poor soldier to being a rich business partner. Gatsby knew from the beginning that he could never be with Daisy since he was poor and Daisy was a first-class lady. Gatsby didn’t let that stop him from trying to achieve such happiness. He worked for five years to get the ample-sized house he so wanted that was practically
Acknowledged by historians, the roaring 20s was unequivocally involved in dramatic changes in economics, politics, and social behavior. American literature’s most famous murder is that of Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby, the other man in the narrator, Nick Carraway’s, cousin. Occurring in prohibition, Gatsby is murdered in his own home at the trigger finger of a car mechanic who mistakenly takes Gatsby as the man having an affair with his wife. Though his death was not a literal suicide, Jay Gatsby is responsible for his own death because of his lack of moral conviction, fanatical devotion, and corruption. Body 1 Body 2 Body 3 Ultimately, Gatsby ruined himself because of his lack of moral conviction, fanatical devotion, and corruption.
The chain of reactions that occurs in the West Egg and East Egg after the mysterious Jay Gatsby moves in next to Nick Caraway ends in the fatal shooting of Gatsby. The actions of Jay Gatsby throughout the summer of 1922 were those of an arrogant and obsessive man, and his untimely demise reminds the reader that consequences can be fatal. His selfish behavior and the obsession he holds for Daisy is a catalyst for a chain of events that ends with his murder. Although George Wilson pulled the trigger on Gatsby, Jay might as well have held a gun to his head instead. Wilson would not have decided to shoot Gatsby if not for the death of Myrtle, which stemmed from a long-lasting sequence of poor decisions on Gatsby's part.
In the book The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby loses his life to Wilson. Mr. Gatsby is killed because Tom Buchanan told Wilson that Gatsby was the one driving the car when Myrtle his wife was struck by the car. It was Gatsby’s, but he wasn’t the one driving, the one driving was Daisy. Wilson believes that Gatsby is the one who hit his wife with the car. George may have killed Gatsby, but the other characters had their part in his death.
Gatsby had bought that house so he could get close to Daisy, who was one of the few people that brought true happiness to someone for a little. While Gatsby could have just bought a cheaper house to get closer to Daisy because despite his wealth she never came to one of his parties. The money was thought to be the source of his happiness because of the amazing house he owned when instead the love of daisy was the reason he saw even a glimpse of
In my opinion, Tom is most responsible for Gatsby’s death. I believe that Tom is most responsible because Tom forgot to tell George that Daisy was the driver of Gatsby’s car the night Myrtle was hit by it. Tom forgot to tell George that because him and Daisy were plotting this out. I could tell something was up when Nick refers that “Tom and Daisy talking in the house(146). I also think that Daisy is a little bit responsible because she took on some bad morals when she hit Myrtle because she could have stopped the car after she hit Myrtle.
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby was murdered by George Wilson Husband of Myrtle. In the court of law there’s only one person who was responsible and guilty for the murder of Jay Gatsby. Although in the eyes of god there was more than one person responsible for the murder or had the ability to stop the outcome of the murder. Weather it was Tom being honest about his affair, Daisy doing the right thing and stopping during the accident or Jay Gatsby himself by taking control of the situation and doing what was good for both Daisy and himself instead of just what 's best for Daisy. Tom, Myrtle, Daisy, and Gatsby were selfish and self centered leading them to become Morally responsible for the death of Jay Gatsby.
Who killed Gatsby is a very arguable topic, we know George Wilson shot Gatsby in his pool but who was responsible for the downfall of Jay Gatsby? Was it Tom Buchanan’s “supercilious manner” (Fitzgerald 7), George Wilson and Myrtle, or was it the time period in which this book took place? It could be a combination of all things but Daisy’s foolish behavior was the determining factor of Gatsby’s death. Gatsby and Daisy were lovers, she was married to an assertive and prejudicial man named Tom Buchanan who openly had affairs with many women..
The entrance of Mr. Gatz showed us how much Gatsby’s dad really loved him as a son, even after Gatsby ran away from home to reach the success he desired in order to become the concept he wanted to be as a person. With his honest reactions, it seems that Mr. Gatz was proud of his son to the very end. He knew that Gatsby was going to end up being destined to something great and as he reacts to his son’s mansion, his theory was proven right. I guess Nick isn’t the only one who really admired Gatsby’s intentions and dreams. It seems that Nick couldn’t believe that Gatsby was gone, gone before he could have fulfilled what he wanted to be and all the dreams that he could have done if he lived longer.
It is true that Daisy had loved Gatsby once, but it was all in the past. After Gatsby left to go to war, Daisy fell in love with Tom Buchanan. The reasons why Daisy married Tom was part of her love for him and the other part is because she loves the social position she is in when she is with Tom. Gatsby failed not because he was killed, but because Daisy’s love for Tom can not be changed with material things. All of the main characters have ideas for the perfect life and none were able to achieve them.
American Literature is defined as the literature written or produced in the area of the United States and its preceding colonies. Death is a common concept portrayed in American Literature. Titles such as Of Mice and Men, Inherit the Wind, and The Great Gatsby all have character deaths as a major part of their plotlines.
