George B. Wilson is a mechanic and owner of a garage. Both Tom Buchanan and George's own wife, Myrtle Wilson, the former of whom describes him as so dumb he doesn't know he's alive , dislike Wilson. When he learns of the death of his wife, he shoots and kills Gatsby, wrongly believing he had been driving the car that killed Myrtle, and then kills himself. [courtesy of Wikipedia] Show less «
