“… and let other people clean up the mess that they had made…”  pg 188

“The ‘death car,’ as the newspapers call it, didn’t stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend.”  Pg. 144

After one reads the entire novel, The Great Gatsby, it is learned that it was Daisy who was at the wheel of the car that killed Myrtle.  When it is said that the car  “disappeared around the next bend”, it shows how Daisy ran from her problem, and that she didn’t stop and take any sort of responsibility for her actions.  One also later gets the impression that she never told Tom what really happened.  In this position, one has to wonder if she had eventually found out Myrtle's true identity.
