Ultimately, Daisy's "love " for Gatsby would eventually cause his death because of how much trust and love he had for Daisy. Gatsby wanted Daisy to leave Tom and say that she never loved Tom, as Gatsby had always just wanted to be with her again. Gatsby truly believed that Daisy would leave everything she had with Tom, and wanted to continue off from the past. Daisy somewhat led Gatsby on to thinking she would leave everything for him, leaving Gatsby hopeful and putting so much faith in her but she knew she would never be strong enough to leave Tom. She is too afraid, and Daisy knew that Tom would always be wealthy due to his prosperous background. Daisy's feelings fleeted from Gatsby to Tom, and no good ever comes out of loving two different men. Falling back into love with Gatsby was a big mistake, as it led up to Gatsby's eventual death. Jay Gatsby would not have died if it was not for the renewed love between him and Daisy.
Although the love between Daisy and Gatsby was a hefty reason to why Gatsby died, Daisy's personality was also to blame. If Daisy had just told people the truth to what happened in the car on the night of Myrtle's death, Gatsby would not have been a target to George Wilson, Myrtle's husband. Although it was technically George Wilson who physically killed Gatsby by shooting him in his own home, he was in serious grief due to his wife's death and it made him want to kill the person who murdered Myrtle, no matter who it may possibly be. Daisy's weakness of character and lack of courage to tell the truth leads to George Wilson wrongfully killing Gatsby. Daisy is unable to stand by her own decisions, and is in love with the luxuries of life. In the most crucial moment while Gatsby and Tom are arguing over Daisy, she suddenly changes her perspective of Gatsby, explaining how she loves both him and Tom. She abandons her earlier courage under pressure. Daisy's inability to stand by her own decisions and love of money lead to the death of Gatsby because she is used to living an easy life, with no pressure and all luxuries.
