his benefit, but he also fulfills it when he helps Daisy when she is in need of assistance. At the end of the novel Daisy is driving Jays car when she hits and kills Myrtle Wilson. Jay Gatsby could have easily and just fully blamed it on Daisy because she was in control of the car, which in turn means she is responsible for the death. The vehicular homicide leaves no blame to Jay, none the less he takes the blame for the accident which ultimately takes his life. He loves Daisy so much that he will not turn her in. He will take the blame if he must. The blame is not all he will have to take for Daisy. He will die in her place(technically). The taking of ones life for someone else, is truly grandiose: It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilsons body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete (170). Now that Gatsby is dead so is the holocaust. The holocaust was all that was built up around him. Without him all the servants leave, Nick moves away, and Daisy and Tom turn into a bunch of nothing. Even after he perishes, his dream, or reality lives on. It lives on through Nick and Jays dad. Nick writes the novel for him and tell everyone about his greatness, while his dad keeps him in mind and in memory through items like his schedule. At his funeral the false shine of the American Dream gets clouded up by the sadness of the truth. No one attends his funeral. Not even Daisy, the one he dies for. He is great to die with so much prestige yet not great enough to be recognized by anyone of those he help fulfill their dreams ( by letting them come to the parties and live like the rich). Nick and Jays dad expected more: A little before the Lutheran minister arrived from Flushing I began to look involuntarily out the windows for other cars. So did Gatsbys father. And as the time passed.......Nobody came(182). The sadness at the end of the novel, exemplifies that not ever...
