3. Gatsby’s Death: Whose fault is it anyways
Gatsby’s Death: Whose fault is it anyways? At the end of Chapter 8, the Great Gatsby is tragically transformed into the Dead Gatsby. We know who pulled the trigger—Mr. George Wilson—because he pulled the trigger on himself, too. Officially, Mr. Wilson is to blame for Gatsby’s death, but we know Gatsby’s death is much more complicated than that. Think about the incredibly complex chain of events leading to this murder-suicide, or “holocaust,” as Nick calls it. Whose fault is it anyways? For this activity, think about the various “sources” who are partially responsible for Gatsby’s death. Break down the blame with a brief explanation (complete with textual evidence) of his/her share of the blame.
