Climax

There were several instances that led up to the climax in The Great Gatsby. One of the major reasons that the climax occurred was because of Tom’s love affair with Myrtle. Tom was blatant about the affair with Myrtle. When Daisy finally reunited with Gatsby, she did not think twice about having an affair with him. Gatsby and Daisy eventually fell so much in love that Gatsby was willing to take the blame for Daisy murdering Myrtle. Myrtle’s death relates back to Daisy’s animosity towards her. Daisy hated how Myrtle would ignorantly call during dinner to talk with Tom. Gatsby’s death occurred because he took the blame for Daisy, so Wilson eventually killed Gatsby. Another instance that may have led to the climax is how Tom drove Gatsby’s car to the city and just so happened to stop by Wilson’s to get gas. If I were Gatsby, I would not have let Tom drive my car. Overall, Daisy’s frustration kept increasing until she finally let it all out by murdering Myrtle.
