Myrtle has jumped in front of the car that Daisy Buchanan. Thus causing Daisy to be blamed for Myrtle’s death. Tom Buchanan is to blame for Jay Gatsby’s death. Tom has told George that Gatsby’s car is the same car that hit Myrtle. George is sure that Gatsby killed Myrtle, so George shot Jay Gatsby. No one else can blame anyone for George’s death but himself.

The person responsible for Myrtle Wilson’s death is Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is responsible for driving a car that hit Myrtle Wilson on the side of the road. Daisy is driving when Myrtle Wilson jumped out in front of Daisy for help. Witnesses say that a person in a yellow car was the one who hit her. The car that Daisy was driving, although the yellow car belongs to Jay Gatsby.

This only happened when Jay and Daisy were driving back to West Egg. But because Daisy was already upset with Jay, she did not think much about Myrtle’s health. Another reason why Daisy is to blame for Myrtle’s death is that she didn’t stop to check on Myrtle. Because before the accident happened, Daisy was already upset from the conversation with Jay. Gatsby had told Daisy to tell her husband that she never loved him. Daisy never stopped when she hit Myrtle ‘The God damned coward!’ he whimpered ‘He didn’t even stop his car'(Tom Buchanan 141). As Tom heard about it from Daisy, he knew what he could do.

The person responsible for Jay Gatsby’s death is Tom Buchanan. At the time of Myrtle’s death, Tom has told George that the yellow car seen by witnesses, was the same one that Jay Gatsby owns. Although Gatsby’s car was being driven by Daisy when the accident happened, Tom took that opportunity. George then left his house and went straight to Gatsby’s house. Gatsby was in his pool after a long summer when George had shot him. George had mistaken Gatsby for Myrtle death. As the true person who killed Myrtle was Daisy. George was well over upset for his wife. He only wants to leave with her.

To move with Myrtle far from the valley of Ashes. She’s going to stay there till the day after to-morrow, and then we’re going to move away(George Wilson, 136) Tom wants to get back at Gatsby.

Who is to Blame for Gatsby’s Death

Afterward, Wilson turns the gun to himself. He was the one who shot himself. After shooting Gatsby, Wilson took his life. Wilson was very upset about the death of Myrtle. It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the Gardner was Wilson’s body a little way off in the grass, the holocaust was complete (Fitzgerald 162) This tells how Wilson ends up dead. Many people play a role in blaming on whose death. One cause leads to another death. Also to another reason for a blame. I do believe that Daisy Buchanan is at fault for Myrtle Wilson’s death. Tom Buchanan causes the kill for Jay Gatsby’s death. George Wilson killing himself is the only person to blame. There could be many other people who are at fault.

The Great Gatsby, has those endings that end in a very twisted way. Daisy, who has been going through some emotional breakdown, has an accident with running over Myrtle Wilson. Tom is to blame for telling George Wilson that Gatsby is the reason why Myrtle is dead. George who lastly went as far as to end his own life. Many of the characters were extremely greedy and selfish. No one really cares about others except Gatsby and Nick. The ones who had money, would just show it off and boast about their wealth. Those who were not as wealthy were jealous of those from a higher class. But overall the characters were well thought out for the story and fit well.
