Mr. Jay Gatsby, a man of mystery, a successful lad with his life cut short. Jay had fallen in love with a woman named Daisy before he was shipped off to Europe for the Great War.
While Jay was away in Europe Daisy had married Tom Buchanan. When Gatsby had returned to the United States he made money from various illegal actions and bought a home in West Egg, right across the bay from Daisy’s home in East Egg. Later he was finally able to meet up with
Daisy with the help of Nick Carraway. Gatsby, then has an affair with Daisy and was later murdered in his swimming pool by George Wilson. Is Gatsby at fault for his own demise or is it someone else that determines his fate?

You see, when we left New york she was very nervous and she thought it would steady her to drive…” (Fitzgerald 143). So, if
Gatsby had not allowed Daisy to drive, Myrtle may have never died, which means George would have never killed Gatsby. Gatsby’s choice to have Daisy drive and more importantly, having
Nick get her over to his house, escalated his own demise.
Is Tom Buchanan to blame for Gatsby’s downfall? Back in New York on a hot summer day, after Tom and Gatsby had a heated discussion on who Daisy loves, Tom declared that he had won. Tom said, “You two start on home, Daisy. In Mr. Gatsby’s car...Go on. He won’t annoy you. I think he realizes that his presumptuous flirtation is over.” (Fitzgerald 135), to prove that Gatsby had nothing to gain from driving her home. Because of Tom’s ego, he allowed for Gatsby to take Daisy home, but little did he know it would snowball effect, going from Myrtle’s death to Gatsby’s.

Tom gave George Wilson direct information to who owned the car, but it wasn’t the total truth because Daisy was the one driving. Tom’s incomplete information led to Wilson taking Gatsby’s life and his own. Tom very well could have been responsible for Gatsby’s early death.
Is Wilson really the main culprit for Jay Gatsby’s death? When Tom, Nick, and Jordan stop a George Wilson’s garage, Mr. Wilson is sick. He says, “I just got wised up to something funny the last two days, that’s why I want to get away” (Fitzgerald 124). He had found out
Myrtle was leading a double life and cheating on him, so he locked her in the bedroom.
Wilson’s irrational actions led to Myrtle’s death. George was borderline insane at this point, he was saying “He murdered her...She ran out to speak to the man in that car to speak to him but he wouldn’t stop….God sees everything(while looking at the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg)”
(Fitzgerald 158160).
George had gone mad and didn’t have any restraint; he went out on his own to finish off Gatsby, and had lost all sanity and ended up taking his own life. George’s lack of mental restraint makes him as responsible, if not more responsible, for Gatsby’s death as
