Gatsby did not deserve what he got. Everything he did proved his unfaltering love for Daisy. He worked through poverty and rose to a position of power because he knew he would never win Daisy’s love otherwise.
Gatsby did not have the end he deserved, for a humanitarian issue that no human being deserves that end, however despicable that being may have been.
In fact, Gatsby is a corrupt man who has extremely deplorable actions, but there were a thousand ways to make him pay for it more fairly, showing that corruption is not the way to happiness and that greed corrupts.
