How Did Myrtle Wilson Kill Gatsby

Who Really Killed Gatsby?
In The Great Gatsby, George Wilson is the one who pulled the trigger when it came to killing Jay Gatsby but does that mean he was responsible. When someone is killed the blame should not always fall on the one who pulled the trigger. Because sometimes the fault it someone else’s. In the case of Gatsby that may or may not have been the case. I’m not here to persuade or trick you in to thinking a certain way. These is an essay for the facts so here they are.
This is what happened, best we can tell by what the book says. Myrtle Wilson was killed in a hit and run with Gatsby’s yellow car but Daisy was driving. George Wilson, Myrtle’s husband, was depressed and drunk after his wife’s death that lead him to confront his

wife’s lover, Tom Buchanan, about her death. That’s when Tom told him that it was Gatsby’s car that kill Myrtle. These it what caused George to hunt down Gatsby at his house. George shot and killed Gatsby well he was in his pool then George committed suicide. This all happened in chapter 8 of the book. After the murder/suicide, Tom and Daisy Buchanan left town and never came back. In chapter 7, we find out what Gatsby’s real business was and why he didn’t want anyone to be angry will him. Anger draws the kind of attention that Gatsby didn’t want or need. The story that Gatsby told people about where his money came from was that he owned a sting of drug stores but the believed truth was that he sold illegal alcohol.
Tom and Daisy leaving town after Gatsby’s murder had to have meant they knew more about it than they let on. Since Tom lied to protect Daisy he had to have known that Daisy have something to do with Myrtle’s death. In chapter 9 page 187, Tom told Nick, “I told him the truth. 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 upstairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn’t told him who owed the car. His hand was on a revolver in his pocket…” Tom sold out Gatsby to save his own life when Myrtle’s death wasn’t even his fault it was Daisy’s. She was the one driving the yellow car. Daisy also must not have loved Gatsby as much as she said she did. Seeing that she let Gatsby take the fall for a crime she committed and then leaving town and not even coming back for his funeral.
The facts are that Tom lied to protect Daisy and blamed Gatsby for Myrtle’s death, George shot and killed Gatsby well he was in his pool then George committed suicide and the Buchanan’s left town before anyone could catch on to them. When someone is killed the blame should not always fall on the one who pulled the trigger. Because sometimes the fault it someone else’s. What may be the worst thing about Gatsby’s death was that know took responsible for it. The man that killed him committed suicide. The person that told George it was Gatsby’s car left town with the woman he loved. No one took responsible for Gatsby’s death.

Gatsby’s social circle was a wide verity newly rich people. Living the life of parties and throwing around money. I can tell you that I would hate every minute of it. Gatsby’s people go through money like some people fall in love. I am more the type to never spend money. I hate spending money so much. This circle was full of drunk partiers acting like children. Not of me.
