I’ve never seen a man cry as much as Tom did; it was like a thunder shower that car ride home. He was too upset to drive so I offered to drive the rest of the way home. After I was home, I couldn’t help but think who had killed her. “Hey sport,” said Gatsby.

Knowing that one of the side effects of the Red Death is delusion, I then thought that maybe Prince Prospero was always infected and this party was just all made up his mind as he lived his last moments of life. This also makes sense because none of the guests at the party were described.
