Answer:
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", the main protagonist Jay Gatsby had come to West Egg to try to 'achieve' his American dream. He wanted to get back what he lost- Daisy, and also start their lives afresh.
In Chapter 8, Myrtle had been killed accidentally when she was hit by Gatsby's car, though it was driven by Daisy Buchanan. Myrtle, on the other hand, had been having an affair with Tom Buchanan. So, when she was accidentally killed, her husband Wilson immediately suspected it was the lover who had killed her. But Tom deceivingly told Wilson that it was Gatsby,a and thus led to the death of Jay.
When the news broke off, "Wilson's suspicions of his wife" was thought to be the main reason which led to his "deranged" state of grief. The newspapers thus reported the death of Jay Gatsby as being done by Wilson as he was "deranged by grief".
