but the three people who died at the end of the Great Gatsby were the only characters from poor backgrounds - despite Gatsby's immense wealth and reputation, no matter how many parties he threw or millionaires he made friends with, he could never escape his fate.

Daisy and Tom and Nick all moved on as if nothing happened, because they were the people the American Dream was tailored to, those were the people who benefitted from a meritocratic society, and Gatsby was too poor in his history, as were Myrtle and her husband, so they had to die - they had to be discarded because that green light was never supposed to be within their reach.

Ah yes, my favourite game: erotic fanfiction or classic literature.

"Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body - he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor."

This is Nick Carraway describing his cousin's husband btw. This book was made in 1924 and the closet is still glass.

Basically that one scene in The Great Gatsby

[iamnotshazam]

there is something deeply wrong with nick carraway in gatsby. motherfucker has been disassocating probably since the end of the war. he watches a marriage almost implode in front of him and in the stunned silence afterwards tells the awful husband, "oh yeah i just remembered today's my birthday"

i dont think casual and high school level discussions focus on how deeply weird nick must be in person and how that affects scenes? i vaguely remember analyses usually focusing on daisy and tom and gatsby but they all use nick as a barely functioning soundboard for horrible behavior and when he doesn't say anything are probably thinking "well nick seems so chill he would stop me if this was Truly Weird" and nick is meanwhile staring off into the distance thinking about what he ate last tuesday and that green eyed bilboard

edit: right and the accident literally happens next page so the weirdness of nick is probably skipped over by most readers
