What was I thinking when I pulled up to the scene of the accident (Myrtle's Death)
Oh my gosh...it's Myrtle. She's dead. They're saying it was a flashy, yellow car that hit her. I only know of one flashy, yellow car and Gatsby and Daisy were driving it on the way home. I can't believe Gatsby hit her! Or was it Daisy driving? I think it could have been Daisy because she was hysterical after she ran out of the hotel. She must have climbed into the driver's side first and sped home as soon as Gatsby hopped in the passenger's seat as a result of chasing after her. Daisy probably saw Myrtle and didn't stop the car because for one, she was tired of Tom having an affair with another woman (she had to know who the woman was by now), and two, she probably thought she could eliminate one more obstacle in this twisted life of hers. Daisy knew on that car ride home who she wanted to be with, I know she did. She wanted to be with Tom. Pulling up to the accident scene, I thought to myself, this could all be over if Gatsby takes the blame for the hit and run. Daisy can go back to her family and erase Gatsby from her life. Myrtle's death subsequently makes Tom's life easier and I think he will put all of his focus and attention on Daisy now that his mistress is dead. I think Tom now realizes that Daisy could easily be taken away from him if he doesn't start treating his woman right.
