Daisy and Tom and Nick all moved on as if nothing happened, because they were the people the American Dream was tailored to, those were the people who benefitted from a meritocratic society, and Gatsby was too poor in his history, as were Myrtle and her husband, so they had to die - they had to be discarded because that green light was never supposed to be within their reach.

"Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body - he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor."
