Why Did Wilson Kill Gatsby

As I approached Gatsby’s estate, I felt God’s eyes following my every movement, beckoning me to enact justice on the man who ripped my beloved wife away from me. The monster stole my wife from me in some sinful relationship without my knowledge and then threw her away like garbage when he was no longer interested. Gatsby hid away in his castle, protected by his wealth, and oblivious to the consequences of his actions. He may have been comfortable thinking that he could escape every situation unharmed, but God sees everything. God did not approve of such a manipulative man with revolting hauteur who expected to go unpunished because of his influence. I was fighting for all the people that Gatsby has wronged, and would prevent this

The end of chapter eight details the tragic events that ended Gatsby’s life. George Wilson, manipulated by Tom, kills Gatsby to seek justice. News spread about Gatsby’s death which caused a lot of traffic at his house; they weren’t people that knew him from a personal level, but were journalists, photographers, police officers and other media positions. Everyone except Nick believed Gatsby was the killer of Myrtle and Wilson was “deranged by grief” (Fitzgerald, 164). Further investigation ended and then the funeral took place. Gatsby’s body demanded Nick to call everyone that regularly attended the party to join him as he couldn’t do it alone: “Look here, old sport, you’ve got to get somebody for me. You’ve got to try hard. I can’t go through this alone.” (Fitzgerald, 166) No one from the

Gatsby was murdered by Wilson, because he thought that Gatsby was the one that hit his wife and killed her. Tom is a main contributor to Gatsby’s death because Myrtle was his mistress. Tom was the one that suggested he drive Gatsby’s car to town with Jordan and Nick. Myrtle saw them that day and Nick noticed “her eyes, [which became] wide with jealous terror were fixed not on Tom, but on Jordan Baker, whom she took to be his wife” (125). On the way back home, Gatsby and Daisy were driving the yellow car, which was the car that Tom was driving earlier. Myrtle ran out in front of the car as if “she wanted to speak to [them], [thinking they] were somebody she knew” (143). She ran thinking that it was Tom and that he would stop but, it wasn’t.

You may ask, “Who would do such a thing, killing a innocent man?” “And, on top of that to kill him in his beautiful home?” Well I have the answer for you ladies and gentleman. The person guilty of this monstrous crime is Tom Buchanan. Tom Buchanan is brute, imperious, and just like his wife Daisy he is a careless man; crushing and destroying lives in his path. As well, Tom is a cheater; let's not forget he’s having an affair with another woman: Myrtle wilson. Above all Tom Buchanan is a killer. Today I will be presenting several pieces of evidences that Tom is at fault for the death of Mr. Jay Gatsby.

In the final few chapters we finally get to see Gatsby’s true colors. We see that Gatsby is expressing love towards Daisy when they all decide to go to New York for the day. Tom becomes suspicious and accuses Gatsby of having an affair with his wife and also being a bootlegger. Gatsby tells Tom that he and Daisy love one another and that they are going to be together like they once were in the past. Gatsby was wrong and Daisy ends up staying with Tom. Myrtle Wilson is then ran over by Daisy but Gatsby says that he will take the blame and ends up getting shot. At the beginning of this novel we thought that Gatsby was a well liked, popular guy, but it turns out that no one shows up to attend his funeral.

Tom told George, Myrtle’s husband that it was Gatsby’s car that hit her. So George, seeking revenge, killed Gatsby.

The story The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald takes you through the life of the protagonist of the novel, Jay Gatsby, who is shot to death in the end. Who was really the reason for Gatsby’s death? There are many of reasons that lead up to Gatsby’s death and several people who are considered to have caused it. Although George Wilson physically killed him, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby himself all take part in the death. Tom’s anger, Daisy’s carelessness, and Gatsby’s idea of the American Dream all contribute to his death in the end.

Gatsby thought he was being chivalrous for Daisy, but he did not care that Daisy chose not to take responsibility for her hit-and-run. Myrtle’s husband, George Wilson, gets revenge for Myrtle’s loss, assuming that Gatsby had an affair with his wife and killed her once he finds a dog leash and Myrtle 's belongings. George kills Gatsby,

There are five people that are responsible for Jay Gatsby’s death. One of them is directly to blame, since he pulled the trigger. The other three were involved in the murder. The one who pulled the trigger was George Wilson. He was in pain because of the murder of his wife. He loved her, and he was completely insane with grief. Wilson thought that Gatsby was Myrtles lover. He said, “She ran out to speak to him and he wouldn’t stop” (Fitzgerald 166). This means that Wilson thinks that Myrtle knew the owner of the yellow car. Since Wilson had found out

Is Gatsby in the same class as Wilson? If not, is he closer to Wilson's class, or to Tom's? Where does Meyer Wolfsheim stand in all of this?

Jay Gatsby lies dead, sprawled across the floatie in his pool. But whose fault is it when the question question of responsibility comes up? At the end of the story The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby, formerly known as James Gatz, is murdered. George Wilson is the gunman who took Gatsby's and his own life at the end of the story. However, is Wilson really to blame for Gatsby's death? With many people in the story who affect his life and his decisions, there is greater texture to the original question then noticed at first. There are many elements that contribute to the murder of Gatsby. It is clear that someone other than Mr. Wilson bears greater responsibility for this crime. Daisy Buchanan,

    F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a superbly written and an intrinsically captivating novel that deals with the decline of the American Dream and how vapid the upper class is. To illustrate and capture the essence of these themes, Fitzgerald uses characters Gatsby, who epitomizes the actual American Dream, and Daisy, who is based on the ideal girl. Yet, as these characters grasp the topics Fitzgerald wants to convey, there is something inherently like missing from the story as a whole. To fill this void, Fitzgerald utilizes minor characters as a means to move the plot along, develop characters further, and build upon the themes present in the novel. One such

Yes, he was alive when Wilson shot him; however, Gatsby seemed to already be dead on the inside. He had been dead since he found out that Daisy was married to another man. He tries desperately to get Daisy to leave Tom for him; he truly believed that she would, too. [“Gatsby himself… felt that he had lost the old warm world, [and he] paid a high price for living too long with a single dream” (Fitzgerald 161).] Here Gatsby and Wilson had something in common. They both had women they loved, and couldn’t live without. Only Gatsby and Daisy wanted to be together, but could not, while Wilson and Myrtle were married while she was having an affair with Tom, and Wilson still loved her to no avail. So, when Myrtle was murdered, Wilson was overcome by grief. He wanted revenge and when he learned of Gatsby running over his wife, he did not stop to think of what he was doing. It was only until after he had shot Gatsby that Wilson realized his actions and shot himself. Wilson was stricken by sorrow at the death of his wife and he only wanted those responsible to pay for what they had done. It could have been that Wilson had become temporarily insane and had no control over his actions. However, the reader might never know since Nick was so unbiased about the entire event.

In all morality, George was held responsible for killing a man, Gatsby; he pulled the trigger. “The chauffeur-he was one of Wolfshiem’s protégés-heard the shots” (169). After he shot Gatsby, he turned around and shot himself. Even thought he was victimized be the immorally of the rich, he still had no right to put a bullet through Gatsby’s head. Murder is an immoral act, no matter what the circumstance. George could have called the police to have justice deal with this matter. Instead he took this matter into his own hands, which lead to the death of an innocent man, Gatsby.

George though Gatsby was having an affair with his wife so he shoots and kills
