This chapter is very tragic but symbolic; Gatsby is killed which represents how the American Dream can take a turn for the worse. While floating in his pool, Gatsby was brutally shot by Mr. Wilson because he believed Gatsby killed Myrtle. Although Nick disapproves of Gatsby's life style, he does respect his motives of fulfilling his dream. Throughout the previous chapter and going into this one, Nick has become aware that not everyone is how they appear to be and he decides to cut his ties with Tom and Daisy.
