Innocent, but Not Innocent?

Poor Gatsby. All he ever wanted was the love of Daisy, and it's a shame that he had it, but since she wasn't ready to put forth the effort into it, he ended up getting hurt in the end...and by hurt...I mean killed. Did Gatsby deserve such a brutal death? Think about what Tom said... He said Gatsby had it coming for him, but was Gatsby innocent? Maybe not, but in no way did he deserve to die. Gatsby wasn't a perfect man, and we can argue that he wasn't a mentally stable man either, but was he innocent, that's the question. At that time, Prohibition was taking place, so the dealing and selling of alcohol (bootlegging) was against the law. People back then loved to drink and have a good time, so most of the wealth high class folks of East Egg knew all about Gatsby and his involvement in the bootlegging industry, but didn't bother turning him in since he always threw parties and really had no problems with anybody, so why have him behind bars? I doubt that was the only illegal business Gatsby was a part of, but unfortunately, Fitzgerald does not mention anything else about Gatsby's behind-the-scenes life. Something else to think about while talking about Gatsby's innocence is was his affair with Daisy behind Tom's back considered adultery? Because as we all know, Tom was having a long term affair with Myrtle Wilson and being very unfaithful with Daisy and leaving her all the time to be with his mistress. When Tom realizes Daisy has someone else, that's when he becomes VERY selfish and starts investigating and calls out Gatsby when they all meet together. All of them were guilty of it; Myrtle was unfaithful to George Wilson, Tom was unfaithful to Daisy, and vice versa with Daisy being unfaithful to Tom with Gatsby. Poor Nick is the lonely bystander with Jordan Baker just onlooking, but unfortunately being caught in the middle. How awkward would that make you feel, being caught in such a multi-sided affair such as he? But thinking to myself, I fee like the way he died was in a way fitting to his personality. He died because of a classic mix up, a huge misunderstanding. A misunderstood man was never to be understood, and Fitzgerald portrayed this almost to perfection in his book.
