Answer:
An example is Gatsbys disregard for a moral code in his choice to have an affair with Daisy when he knew she was married to Tom which shows Gatsby’s willingness to for sake his morals in order to acquire Daisy’s love

Answer:

The characters in The Great Gatsby never explicitly discuss death or life after death. ... Before Myrtle's death, Nick says that they "drove on toward death through the cooling twilight." Literally, this means they are driving toward the scene of Myrtle's death.
