Chapter 9 : The Great Gatsby Notes and Thoughts

  • George Wilson (Myrtle's husband) is suffering so much after her death
  • Wilson kills Gatsby because he thinks he was the one driving the car when Myrtle was hit and killed.
  • No one wanted to be at his funeral
  • After Gatsby's death, all of his friends and acquaintances Nick was planning on inviting to his funeral disappeared including Tom and Daisy
  • Gatsby's father shows up to the funeral and mentions to Nick that he was proud of his son and he also showed him the book Gatsby had written (a schedule he had written for him to improve)
  • Nick decides to move back to the Midwest and one day when he was walking on Fifth Avenue in New York City, he saw Tom walking and he wasn't sure if he should approach him or not
  • They end up talking and Tom ends up confessing to Nick that he was the one who told Wilson that Gatsby was the one driving the car when Myrtle got killed
  • Tom says that Gatsby deserved to die and that's when Nick comes to the conclusion that both Tom and Daisy were careless people and they only hurt people, knowing that they would never face any consequences since they were rich
  • Nick comes to the conclusion that Gatsby's dream never came true because of all his methods  since they were mostly dirty

At first he was just throwing parties to attract Daisy but now that he had her, he found it unnecessary. 2. Gatsby fires his staff because he doesn't want there to be any gossip about what's going on but he later replaces them with some shade individuals that Wolfshiem knows. 3. When Gatsby meets Daisy's child, he is stunned and can barely believe it's real and meanwhile Daisy seems to not be interested in her daughter. Her daughter looks more like Tom than her. 4. When Daisy and Gatsby were together, they couldn't hide their feelings for each other and Tom caught on to that. Tom confronts Gatsby and asks him what his intentions with Daisy are and he just mentions that she's in love with him (Gatsby).
