Personally, if I had to place the key blame on one person, I'd choose Daisy. She has lived a deplorable life. She dropped Jay to marry money. She and Tom just do whatever they please and don't care whom they hurt. When Jay comes back into her life, she cheats on Tom. She kills Myrtle (albeit accidentally) and then just drives on without stopping to lend aid. Then she participates in the big lie about how it happened. Once again, she and Tom have made a huge mess and then run off and left someone else to clean it up.

The great irony is that this poisonous woman has the name of a flower. Or, maybe it's not so ironic--corpses are said to be "pushing up daisies," after all. And Daisy leaves a trail of death behind her . . .

In the book he said he could not live without daisy.

Which was true because he died when he no longer had daisy.

Tom got daisy back and at the same time gatsby died.

What is the comparism between the movie and the book
