The reason why 'The Great Gatsby' was titled great is because it shows that a man who came up from nothing and gained everything he even wanted, can just lose it by falling in love. Gatsby was that man, who just a worker and a soldier, that fell in love with Daisy. He threw parties and waited for Daisy to come back to him, but the only problem was that she was married to an unfaithful husband, Tom. The story was told by Daisy's cousin, Nick, who became Gatsby's friend, but only because Nick was Daisy's cousin. Gatsby had all he could ever wanted, but when he saw Daisy, his world was flipped upside down. Gatsby uses his parties and Nivk to get Daisy's attention, but the plan doesn't always goes on as planned. They always had a roadblock, like Tom or Jordan, Daisy not getting Gatsby's love for her or Daisy still picking Tom's unfaithfulness over Gatsby's obsession. Sooner or later, Gatsby's obsession and Tom's unfaithfulness was going to take a bad turn. Wilson's wife Myrtle, Tom's mistress, was killed by Daisy, who driving a car with Gatsby. Knowing that she could go to jail, Gatsby took the blame for Myrtle's death, but only Nick knew what happened. Myrtle told Wilson that she cheated on him before she died, but never told him that it was one if his closest friends, Tom. Wilson was told that Myrtle's lover killed her. Taking that advice, Wilson shot Gatsby, dead, in his pool. And that was the end of 'The Great Gatsby.'
