George -- having realized his wife has been unfaithful, just not with whom -- informs the trio that Myrtle and he are moving west immediately. Nick quickly points out the irony of Tom -- who has been cheating with Myrtle Wilson -- making the similar discovery less than an hour before. As they leave Wilson's garage, Nick notices Myrtle watching them with "jealous terror" from a window, as she mistakenly presumes Jordan Baker to be Tom's wife.
When Tom discovers his mistress has been "instantly killed" he quickly makes the connection that Gatsby's yellow car has killed her. Gatsby is shot in mistake for Daisy's husband Tom by George, Myrtle's husband, who mistakes him for Myrtle's killer.

After all he goes thru, Gatsby dies. Read the book. It's not that long and it's entertaining.

is "situational irony" a literary buzz word to mean an ironic event in the story? if so it would say the blinking neon light in the cafe window.
