the killing of Myrtle

Myrtle

Tom was having an affair with Myrtle. Myrtle and her husband were having an argument as she saw a yellow car coming, whome she thought was Tom. Myrtle decided to run out in the middle of the road to get "Toms" attention, even though it was actually Daisy and Gatsby who had no clue who Myrtle was. Gatsbys car which was driven by Daisy hits and kills Myrtle. Tom and Nick arrive on seen shortly after.

Myrtle is dead

What we are really trying to figure out though is who is resposible for Gatsbys death which started with the death of Myrtle. The people I believe who are responsible for Gatsbys death are Myrtle, Daisy, and Tom.

PLAN

Daisys part in Gatsbys death

Daisy had just gotten in a big argument and was very upset but still decided to get behind the wheel and not let Gatsby dirve. As she is driving aimlessly and carelessly because she is upset, she does not see Myrtle run right into the middle of the road. This leads to the death of Myrtle which than leads to the death of Gatsby becasue if she never hit Myrtle, George would not be looking to kill someone.

Tom

plan

Toms part in Gatsbys death was because the arguemnt that made Myrtle run in the road was because of Tom. If Tom never had an affair with Myrtle this fight would have never happened between Myrtle and Wilson. Myrtle also ran in the road because she thought it was Tom, if she thought it was anyone else she would not have ran into the road. Tom was also the reason Daisy was driving the car that hit Myrtle becasue he made her so upset. After Myrtles death Tom than told Wilson that Gatsby was driving the car even though it was really Daisy to get revenge on Gatsby for ever being involved with Daisy. By killing Gatsby, Tom gets Daisy all to himself.

Myrtle

Myrtle is one of the reasons Gatsby is dead

Myrtle is one of the reasons Gatsby is dead because if she never thought it was Tom and never ran into the middle of the road after arguing with Wilson she would have never gotten hit. Wilson than would have never been looking for someone to kill. Than Myrtle and Wilson would have just argued, moved and started over with their lives and Gatsby would have never gotten killed by George.

dead

conclusion

I believe everyone had a little part in Gatsbys death including Nick for reuniting Gatsby and Daisy. Including Gatsby himself for falling so in love with Daisy. Do i belive Gatsby should have been killed? No.

While there are many suspects leading to Gatsbys death, I believe Tom was the main one.
