Gatsby Turned Out Alright?

Gatsby turned out all right in the end, because he’s dead. Gatsby was killed as an innocent man, and although he had a shady past, he didn’t deserve death. I feel like Nick really liked Gatsby as a person, and when he was killed, I feel like he had lost hope for the world. Experiencing that loss where an innocent man, who Nick had grown close with, was murdered for no apparent reason, it shows how cruel people can be,
Also, Gatsby and Daisy were in love. The fact that Gatsby was killed, and that they never could be together again, also is a reason to give up hope in the world. Nick feels like Gatsby’s better off dead, then in this world.
