Who Was Responsible For Gatsby's Death

I feel that the American dream is to get rich and get married and have kids and watch your kids grow old. I picked Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby because I fell that they all were trying to fulfill their American dream and they all could have it but every one of them ruined it for each other. I feel that Tom ruined his goal by cheating and because Gatsby was trying to get with Daisy, Tom ruined it for Gatsby because he told on Gatsby for hitting the women with his car and killing her so he got shot and he got daisy not Gatsby, Gatsby ruined it for Nick because he would have stayed with Jordan but he couldn’t stand being there were Gatsby died his friend.

“... it is a story about failure and death, an idealistic quest for unworthy goals, and the almost total collapse of the aspirations of nearly all of the principal characters” (Nagel 113). The Great Gatsby is a story that represents people’s unachieved aspirations that lead to a sad existence and ultimately death. They are all trying to attain one thing, the American Dream. The American Dream is almost impossible to attain and that is why a lot of people failed when it came to living out the American Dream. In Fitzgerald’s, “The Great Gatsby”, Gatsby tries to attain the American Dream through Daisy throughout the whole novel but fails and is left heartbroken.

Is Tom most responsible for Gatsby's death? Daisy? Myrtle? Gatsby himself? Give reasons why or why not each character is implicated in the murder.

George and Myrtle Wilson are two characters in The Great Gatsby representing the working class of society aiming for the American Dream. George Wilson owns a run-down auto shop in the Valley of Ashes and is doing his best to get business, while Myrtle Wilson chases after wealth and status through an affair with Tom. However, both characters face a tragic ending in their attempts to achieve the idealistic life: Daisy strikes and kills Myrtle with Gatsby’s car and George commits suicide after murdering Gatsby. George and Myrtle’s deadly fates help illustrate the novel’s pessimistic attitude toward the American Dream, symbolizing that it is impossible to achieve. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the Wilsons as a tragic way to demonstrate the unnatainable American Dream.

Daisy also has her problems with the definition of True Love. Daisy thinks she is in love with Gatsby, but in actuality she is far from being truly in love with him. They knew each other when they were younger, but Daisy, although she had strong feelings for him, let her family’s expectations keep them apart. Because Gatsby did not come from money and was merely an enlisted soldier he was not fit for Daisy who came from an upper class family. This cannot be true love because true love comes naturally and above all other things and nothing should ever

Gatsby was a gorgeous man who spent his whole life sleeping, Dreaming up his spectacular ending, with Daisy for safekeeping. But while he was asleep he missed out on the harsh reality: Below his rose tinted sleeping mask, he was a Buchanan wannabe. Gatsby often stood with his arm outstretched in longing, Towards the luminescent green light, whose distance seemed prolonging.

"Oh, you want too much!" she cried to Gatsby. "I love you now – isn't that enough? I can't help what's past." She began to sob helplessly. "I did love him once – but I loved you too. (132).Gatsby has in love with the old Daisy, the one uncorrupted by the evils of society.

Gatsby suddenly asked “How can you love him Daisy? He does not care as much as I do.”

“He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: ‘I never loved you’ ” (Fitzgerald Chapter 6). This is when it is very clear what Gatsby is trying to accomplish, his goal is to get Daisy to abolish all the experiences she’s had with Tom. Gatsby wants Daisy to follow his ideals and to try and spark their past together. Although Daisy is stuck between choosing Tom and Gatsby, she realizes that the past cannot be relieved, because she has experienced too much with Tom, and that Tom also has a major influence in her

"I love you now—isn't that enough? I can't help what's past." She began to sob helplessly. "I did love him once—but I loved you too." (84) Gatsby's obsession with her seems shockingly unilateral, and it is clear to the reader that she will not leave Tom for him. You can also see why this confession is a blow to Gatsby. He has dreamed of Daisy for years and sees her as his one true love, while she not even can marshal her love of Gatsby over her love for Tom. Gatsby is too desperate and obsessed, and does not understand that he must move on as it is impossible to get back Daisy. This can also be explained by Daisy’s as we get an insight at her real feelings. As she sad in the quote, she loved them both, and to her those were equal loves. But, she has not put that initial love with Gatsby on a pedestal the way Gatsby has. Unlike Gatsby, Daisy is more tragic, a loving woman who has been corrupted by greed. She chooses the security of money and comfort over real love, and therefore he will never get back

Who is responsible for the death of Jay Gatsby? Was it George? Was it Daisy? Or was it Tom? The first person that usually is to blame is the one who pulls the trigger. In this case George is the one who pulled the trigger, but he’s not the only one responsible. Tom and Daisy were also responsible for the death of Jay Gatsby.

(Fitzgerald pag 116) I believe that this is Gatsby’s way of trying to accept that Daisy will not move on. Of course he still thinks that she loves him, but he can not wrap his head around the fact that she has moved on. Just because you once loved somebody does not mean you will always love them. Gatsby sees it, but he just will not admit

Who was most responsible for Gatsby’s death? I believe george Is the one that is most responsible for Gatsby death because he find out that gatsby was having a affair with his wife myrtle and mr. wilson believe that gatsby killed his wife because he was having a affair with her and he killed gatsby out anger. After he was at rage and probably wanted him dead and that's why i think he did it .

As Daisy is impure, so is her love for Gatsby. Maybe she did love him once, but Gatsby misses his chance with her, and by the time he tries to win her back, her love for him had withered away like a dying flower. Daisy’s superficial purity and the impermanent

Like insects and bugs, reporters and gossiping mongers potentially swarm around Gatsby's huge mansion after his death occurrence. They immediately busy themselves with spreading grotesquely, and exaggerated stories about his murdering, his life, and his relationships with his old ladies. Nick tries to give Gatsby a funeral as grand as his parties were, but finds that Gatsby's enormous circle of acquaintances has suddenly evaporated and vanished into thin air. Many, like Tom and Daisy Buchanan, have simply skipped town, while others, including Meyer Woldsheim and Kilpspringer, flatly refused to attend the funeral. Nick tracks down Gatsby's father, Henry Gatsby, a solemnly old man left helpless and distraught by the death of his own son.
