Tom fail to tell Mr. Wilson that his wife Daisy was driving Gatsby car and was the who hit Myrtle and he also fail to tell Mr. Wilson that he was the one that was having an affair with his wife not Gatsby.

I believe FSF would say that Gatsby was killed by the entrenched society represented by the inhabitants of East Egg. The notion that access to the class, panache, cache and general swellness of upper society can by purchased must be eradicated. The real American Dream, which Gatsby represents, has been identified and compromised; attempts to bridge into upper crust society must be "exterminated, exterminated with great prejudice".
