George killed Gatsby after being manipulated by Tom. A poor white man doing the rich white man's dirty work.Yes, this book is not what people think it is.
Fitzgerald himself said that.
I'm going to avoid clicking on a tinyurl, but just so I'm clear, is the theory here that Wolfsheim:A. murdered Gatsby AND Wilson, leaving Wilson to either kill himself after the dead or be murdered and left as a frameup for the murder?
B. took advantage of the situation to drive Wilson to killing Gatsby behind the scenes after and/or in addition to the things Tom said to Wilson?
I don't think either of those scenarios are very plausible, and I can't think of anything in the text that would support them, assuming I'm understanding the theory in the first place, that is.
