Theme: The Rich are careless people.
Throughout The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's characters continuously prove to show that the rich are careless people, or that they can afford to not care about others at all. The rich people in the book have a sense of being better than everybody else is, but not showing it exactly at face value. They are completely careless and throw caution to the wind. They ignore how others feel and also they don't care about anything that doesn't have to do with them, or something they like.
The rich will hurt people, sometimes on accident, physically and mentally, that they think are of a lower class and don't care about those persons well being whatsoever. Some examples of this are Daisy hitting Myrtle while driving Gatsby's car and then not stopping. Daisy didn't care at all that she had hit and probably killed someone.
