The reasons vary for why I killed Gatsby but first of all let me tell you that I was the true victim. From Myrtle's disloyalty to Gatsby hitting Myrtle, I was the victim, not Gatsby. Poor Gatsby... poor me!! All my tragic life, I had nothing to rejoice other than having Myrtle. Its amazing how fast your world can tumbling down. I killed Gatsby because my anger grew so much, that I just needed to see revenge. The day Myrtle was killed, I had Michaelis look in a drawer, where he found an expensive dog leash. This was the clue that set me off. I concluded that the man who killed Myrtle had also given her the dog leash. He was the man who owned the yellow car. Full of anger and frustration about Myrtle’s disloyalty, I acted on my impulses and killed Jay Gatsby.On another note, before I killed Gatsby I went to Tom’s thinking it was him, but Tom was able to point where the yellow car was, and it was Gatsby all along. Surely it had to be Gatsby. I trusted Tom because he offered to give me a car. It was shear impulse for me to get revenge for the women I love. Myrtle meant everything to me, even though she may have been cheating on me. I found him in his pool and wasted no time. I shot several times, killing him. Then killed myself, for there was no purpose for me to live anymore. Myrtle was gone and I got the revenge that satisfied me. Even though I was mad at the entire world, I specifically targeted Gatsby because I had a reason to do so, and he was an easy target to take my anger out. I just had a mental breakdown, and let my anger take over my actions, which led to me killing Gatsby. Maybe he deserve it, maybe he didn't. I was just angry and some one had to pay.

George,
ReplyDeleteYou need to know that I did not kill Myrtle, it was Daisy. I was not driving the car that day, however I understand why you thought so. Had you known that it was not I, but Daisy who killed Myrtle perhaps things may have ended differently. There is one more thing you should know, I was not the one who was having an affair with your wife, it was Tom. I thought it necessary for you to know that.
