This, along with the fact that Tom allows Mr. Wilson to believe that Gatsby was actually having an affair with Myrtle, leads to Gatsby's death. Daisy suffers no visible consequences for Myrtle's death. She goes back to Tom, and together the two of them leave. As Nick says, Daisy, like her husband, is "careless."
