This image, while symbolising much about Wilson's pathetic life, ominously prophecises Myrtle's death. Tom patronises Wilson and tantalises him with the prospect of business. Myrtle despises him for his lack of material success. Contrast with Tom Wilson is described as "blond, spiritless and anaemic". Whereas Tom comes across as strong, forceful and energetic, Wilson seems weak and demotivated. His relationship with House is turbulent in the short term, but stable in the long term as it is the only relationship in both their lives that actually lasts through difficult times.
Wilson genuinely cares for House and is often willing to stick his neck out for his friend, defending House to the hospital board and to his fellow doctors every chance he gets. Most importantly, Wilson assists House in his attempts to recover from his opiate dependence.
In season 6, episode 1, "Broken," Wilson draws clear boundaries by refusing to assist House in blackmailing the doctor in charge of House's treatment, but remains supportive throughout his recovery.
Ultimately, when Wilson is diagnosed with terminal thymoma, House fakes his own death in the series finale, "Everybody Dies," and in his penultimate words of the show, House says, "I'm dead, Wilson. How do you want to spend your last five months?
More: House, M. Shannon Lewis is a features and news writer on Screen Rant. She has experience in editorial working as the deputy editor for Specialty Food, an online and print magazine, curating its news section and social media.
She has worked as a freelance writer since , writing articles, features, and profiles in a wide range of topics, from business and tech to pop culture and media. Previously, she has also worked as a ghost writer for a fiction manuscript, and co-founded arts-and-literature magazine, Octarine. An avid reader and fan of writing, she leverages her love of literature to dissect movies in her favorite genres, including horror, rom-coms, and superhero movies.
Her focus is on the cross-section between story, cultural background, and character development. George has actually locked Myrtle upstairs and plans to keep her there until they have the money to move 7. Later that day, George and Myrtle fight. At that moment, Daisy and Gatsby speed by in the yellow car. Myrtle, assuming Tom is driving, rushes out into the road "waving her hands and shouting" 3. Daisy runs her over without stopping, leaving Myrtle dead.
In Chapter 8 , George, reeling from his wife's violent death, loses whatever faith he had in God after and decides to find the owner of the yellow car. The police assume that he goes garage to garage asking about the yellow car until he finds Jay Gatsby's name and address 8.
Using this information, George walks the rest of the way to Gatsby's mansion 8. He shoots Gatsby, who is swimming in his pool for the first time all season.
He then shoots himself, and "the holocaust was complete" 8. In Chapter 9 , the mystery of how George found Gatsby is solved. Tom confesses that George first came to Tom's house that night.
There, Tom told him that the yellow car was Gatsby's and insinuated that Gatsby was the one who killed Myrtle and the one who was sleeping with her 9. George Wilson proves the old action movie adage: never take your eyes off the guy with the gun.
Generally he was one of these worn-out men: when he wasn't working he sat on a chair in the doorway and stared at the people and the cars that passed along the road. When any one spoke to him he invariably laughed in an agreeable, colorless way.
He was his wife's man and not his own. After our first introduction to George, Nick emphasizes George's meekness and deference to his wife, very bluntly commenting he is not his own man. Although this comment reveals a bit of Nick's misogyny—his comment seems to think George being his "wife's man" as opposed to his own is his primary source of weakness—it also continues to underscore George's devotion to Myrtle.
George's apparent weakness may make him an unlikely choice for Gatsby's murderer, until you consider how much pent-up anxiety and anger he has about Myrtle, which culminates in his two final, violent acts: Gatsby's murder and his own suicide. His description also continues to ground him in the Valley of Ashes.
Unlike all the other main characters, who move freely between Long Island and Manhattan or, in Myrtle's case, between Queens and Manhattan , George stays in Queens, contributing to his stuck, passive, image. This makes his final journey, on foot, to Long Island, feel especially eerie and desperate.
Some man was talking to him in a low voice and attempting from time to time to lay a hand on his shoulder, but Wilson neither heard nor saw. His eyes would drop slowly from the swinging light to the laden table by the wall and then jerk back to the light again and he gave out incessantly his high horrible call. George is completely devastated by the death of his wife, to the point of being inconsolable and unaware of reality.
Although we hear he treated her roughly just before this, locking her up and insisting on moving her away from the city, he is completely devastated by her loss. This sharp break with his earlier passive persona prefigures his turn to violence at the end of the book.
I took her to the window—" With an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it, "—and I said 'God knows what you've been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me but you can't fool God! Standing behind him Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. Eckleburg which had just emerged pale and enormous from the dissolving night. Something made him turn away from the window and look back into the room.
What is the importance of the character Owl Eyes? Does Daisy love Gatsby or Tom? Why does Tom insist on switching cars with Gatsby when they go to the city? Why is Nick the narrator of the story? Why does Tom bring up race so often? Why is Myrtle attracted to Tom? Why does Gatsby stop throwing parties?
