chapter 8 Gatsby death

This chapter really surprised me and my prediction did not come out as planned. I was very surprised that Wilson shot Gatsby. When the gardener found Wilson body at the end of the chapter "It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilson body a little way off in the grass, the holocaust was complete"(Fitzgerald 162). We can only assume that Wilson then killed himself because of how sad he was back when michaelis came up to his house and was asking him questions. I thought that after Myrtle died that Wilson would kill himself because of how sad he looked when he saw the T.J. ekelburg sign and when he states "God sees everything" (Fitzgerald 160).

  1. Do you think it was wise for Fitz to kill off Gatsby? Do you think there was another way out?
