Nick comes back to Gatsby's house and realizes, "It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilson's body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete" (Fitzgerald 162). I also think that the chapter ended with "...and the holocaust was complete" because the last of the innocent people died, so there was no one left to perish because the task was done (162).Holocaust doesn't just refer to what happened in World War Two though that's what it seems like everyone relates it to. Relating to making the reader sympathetic, Nick says "perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadoptable to Eastern life," (Fitzgerald). This holocaust of morals, dreams, and hope actually began with the start of the novel.Nick uses the word holocaust to express the death of these large dreams the characters' have. Like in the Holocaust when the Jews were killed for just being Jewish, the Wilsons were killed for no reason. A holocaust is slaughter on a mass scale. The word holocaust is used as a large quantity of deaths so even though there was only three physically, emotionally there were plenty between the three characters.Holocaust means 'whole-burning" in Greek. When Fitzgerald says, "and the holocaust was complete" (170) he does use the word "holocaust" to represent the mindless killings of Myrtle and Gatsby. All of these deaths could have been prevented, and occurred as a result of the corruption of one man, Tom Buchanon. Relating these event to a holocaust is Fitzgerald's way of expressing what happened as a purposefully yet tragic event.I agree with you Amanna. Nick arrives to find Gatsby's body in the pool.

I think the word holocaust was used to summarize the destruction of reputation and value, on a mass scale.I agree that this part of the story is the conclusion of the climax. Gatsby protected the girl he loved and, he ended up being the person who died, when it should have been either Tom or Daisy, since they were cheating on each other and caused everyone’s world to come crumbing down, causing the completion of the holocaust.I wasn't relating the holocaust to the innocent lives because well Gatsby is not so innocent himself. The only difficulty with that, however, would have been that in being with Daisy, he would run the risk of being exposed as an imposter.
George Wilson has become overwhelmed with grief at the loss of his wife. Although, no one has the for sure say that's what Fitzgerald knew the word as, it is still put in a particular part of the book where everything comes crumbling down and traumatizing to Nick Caraway. She killed someone, and then someone else died for her.

Therefore, this is why it is called a holocaust.I agree with Ali's comment here. I think it has to do a lot with the brutal things going on in the story, and the Volgure images that are suppose to be described as "holocaust"Nick uses the term "holocaust" because it was a spree of death to the people around him and even love. It does not lie in the fact that the characters are all innocent. The word itself is rough and negative just like the past events that happened. They all were living their lives in the moment and didn't completely deserve the fate. Why? It's quite ironic that it is Daisy that killed Myrtle, a problem in her love life, and that led George to kill the other problem in her love life, Gatsby.
Because Gatsby did this to protect the girl he loved (and thought loved him back), he ended up being the person dying, when all along it should have been Daisy or at least Tom (two of the more corrupt characters) who should have died. Myrtle died in a car accident caused by Daisy, then Wilson killed Gatsby, and finally killing himself. The "holocaust" relates to senseless killings. Gatsby clearly wanted to stop to see the aftermath of the hit and cares for Myrtles well being, but Daisy acts recklessly and tries to drive away and not claim responsibility. And then Myrtle was killed because she was trying her best to be saved from the hurt and pain of her mistakes that she was killed by running out in the street.

It is fitting that Gatsby dies in the end in order to save Daisy from being punished for her wrong doing, or her sin. The term holocaust means destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, and within the past two chapters there has been a total of three deaths. Therefore, I feel that Nick felt a great pain in Gatsby's death. I also think that he uses the word to explain that all the people that died were innocent and didn’t deserve to die. The reader has already seen that Gatsby idolizes both wealth andDaisy.
