““I told him the truth,” he said. “He came to the door while we were getting ready to leave, and when I sent down word that we weren’t in he tried to force his way up-stairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn’t told him who owned the car.”

Myrtle Wilson

Myrtle is relative to blame for Gatsby's death. Myrtle running out in front of Gatsby's car made George want kill Gatsby . To George, it was unknown that Daisy was actually driving the car.
