5.0

The flaw for Gatsby was trusting too much that his benevolent intentions would lead to benevolent results and responses. Daisy and Tom smash and break everything while riding away in their car, none the wiser, while Nick watches everything unfold, watching the fall of a man he so admired. Beautiful work, and deserving of the titles it's claimed.
