Nick assumes responsibility for Gatsby's funeral arrangements. He tires to contact family and friends, but the only positive response comes from Gatsby's father, Henry C.
Nick is left to organise Gatsby's funeral. Daisy and Tom have left town. Wolfshiem refuses to come. Hundreds of people attended Gatsby's parties but no-one comes to his funeral apart from Nick, Gatsby's father, and some servants.
Who is in charge of Gatsby's funeral arrangements?
Being his sole close friend and the only one who truly cared about him, Nick organized Gatsby's burial. Following Gatsby's passing, no one else expressed any interest in him.
What makes Nick assume responsibility for the funeral arrangements? No one cared about Gatsby and would arrange the funeral except for him. He called daisy and many others but got either very little response or no response at all. So he took over and planned the funeral himself.
Why did Nick take care of Gatsby's funeral? Nick was the only person that cared about Gatsby for Gatsby and not Gatsby's money. He is probably the only person that would have been available to do the funeral arrangements.
Nick took care of Gatsby's funeral because he was his only close friend and the only person who really cared about him. Nobody else showed any interest in Gatsby after his death.
Gatsby's funeral is ironic because only three people attend, while enormous crowds attended his parties. Despite being a popular figure in the social scene, once Gatsby passes, neither Daisy, his business partner Henry Wolfsheim, nor any of his partygoers seem to remember him or care.
Possibly drunk from the day in the city, Daisy carelessly strikes Myrtle with Gatsby's car. She then negligently speeds off from the scene of the accident without stopping. She is only thinking about herself rather than the woman she struck.
In The Great Gatsby, Daisy does not call Nick after Gatsby's death due to her desire to avoid being associated with Gatsby, her absence from town, and her fear of making Tom angry.
Nick says that Tom and Daisy are careless because they do whatever they want, without any regard for how their actions will affect other people. When other people are affected negatively, Tom and Daisy face no consequences and leave, allowing any consequences to be directed to others.
A distraught George traveled to Gatsby's mansion in West Egg and shot Gatsby dead before turning the weapon on himself. Soon after Gatsby's murder, Daisy, Tom, and their daughter departed East Egg, leaving no forwarding address.
Three days after the murder of Gatsby, a telegram from his father, 'signed Henry C. Gatz' arrives and, a few days later, Mr. Gatz arrives at the mansion.
In both book and movie, Gatsby is waiting for a phone call from Daisy, but in the film, Nick calls, and Gatsby gets out of the pool when he hears the phone ring. He's then shot, and he dies believing that Daisy was going to ditch Tom and go way with him.
"And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." This line works on a few different thematic levels at the end of the novel: It sums up the story of the novel, as Gatsby has been trying to work hard enough to both erase and reclaim his past with Daisy; he is unable to do either.
First, Daisy Buchanan is the driver of the mysterious “death car”—she's the one who accidentally runs over and kills Myrtle. This is ironic because while the reader knows that Tom Buchanan had been having an affair with Myrtle, Daisy has no idea that the woman she killed was her husband's mistress.
It is ironic that Daisy kills her husband's mistresses, and doesn't even know what she was to Tom, and that it was done with Gatsby's car, whom Daisy has also been involved with.
Gatsby's decision to take the blame for Daisy demonstrates the deep love he still feels for her and illustrates the basic nobility that defines his character.
Meyer Wolfsheim, who was very close to Gatsby, uses this as an excuse not to attend Gatsby's funeral. He says that, now that he's old, he can't "get mixed up in all that"—by which he means he doesn't want to be affiliated with Gatsby's death because Gatsby's illegal dealings could unveil his own.
Daisy does not want to be seen attending Gatsby's funeral since she does care about her image, despite the fact that she has never loved Tom. As a result, she makes the decision to abstain out of concern that she would damage both her connection with Tom and her standing in the eyes of the general public.
Owl Eyes is an eccentric, bespectacled man who sheds light upon the character of Jay Gatsby, and acts as a counterpoint to some of the other characters. He is the only one who discovers amidst all the frivolity of the parties that Jay Gatsby has a library with real books enclosed in leather covers.
Jay Gatsby's father, Henry Gatz, is proud of his son because Gatsby was a self-made man. He was born into poverty, but he did not let his social circumstances keep him from achieving his goals. Gatsby was driven, independent, and savvy to the way the world works.
The green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is symbolic of Jay Gatsby's undying love, desperation and the inability to reach the American dream. The story is set in New York during the Jazz Age. In the story, the color green represents the limitations of power and money.
