In the last two chapters of "The Great Gatsby", readers see the end of Gatsby. In chapter 8, Gatsby and Nick meet at Gatsby's mansion. Gatsby talks about his love for Daisy from a young age, and that he loved her for her"youth and vitality", while idolizing her social position, wealth, and popularity. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby, but broke her promise by marrying Tom. So, it seems like Gatsby loved Daisy more than Daisy loved Gatsby in a way, because she wouldn't have married Tom if she really loved Gatsby. In chapter 9, Wilson tries to find out who killed Myrtle with their car. He knows for sure it isn't Tom because he came after the accident, so Wilson goes to Gatsby's mansion where Gatsby is relaxing in his pool, thinking about his life and how empty it is. Wilson immediately shoots Gatsby with a gun, and then proceeds to shoot himself. Nick is devastated, and thinks the Buchanan's are cheaters who deceives people, and gets away with it because of their wealth.
