How Isla Fisher’s Myrtle Died The great Gatsby Who will take responsibility? Like the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel on which it is based, director Baz Luhrmann The great Gatsby The story takes place in the summer of 1922 on the wealthy North Shore of Long Island, New York. The film tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), an emerging millionaire haunted by his ex-lover Daisy Buchan Nan (Carey Mulligan) reuniting. Eventually, Gatsby enlists the help of Daisy’s neighbor and cousin, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), to win her back, and the two begin a romance. Trouble is, Daisy is married to Tom (Joel Edgerton), an arrogant sociopath who comes from old money.
Tom is no match for Daisy either. He himself is romantically involved with Myrtle Wilson (played by Isla Fisher), a working-class social climber with whom Tom rents an apartment in Manhattan to date. Myrtle married herself. She’s the wife of mechanic George Wilson (Jason Clarke), who runs a garage in the dreary Queens industrial area, where Tom regularly stops for gas.

When Daisy backs off, she suggests Tom a trip to town, where he insists he drive Gatsby’s flashy yellow Duesenberg, while Gatsby drives Tom’s elegant blue coupe. On the way to Manhattan, Tom stops by George’s garage and learns that he and Myrtle are planning to move out because he suspects her of an affair. The party ends at the Plaza Hotel, where Tom reveals that he knew about Daisy and Gatsby’s affair, and made Daisy live with him by mocking Gatsby for his low social status. Tom condescendingly orders Gatsby to drive Daisy home in his flashy car, knowing that Daisy won’t make the same mistake.
On their way back to Long Island, Daisy and Gatsby pass by George’s garage where he is beating his wife. Thinking that Tom was still driving Gatsby’s car, Myrtle ran to pick him up, but was hit by a bullet and died. At that point, Gatsby appeared to be driving, and Myrtle was beaten for seeing him trying to get out of her way. However, The great Gatsby It is clear that Daisy is behind this and is therefore responsible for Myrtle’s death, but Gatsby intends to be responsible.
