Why me?" she asked, holding on to him." Because you cared, " he whispered. "You cared so much for your people, it broke your heart to see the pack in ruins. You cared so much for your mother, you risked your life for hers. You cared enough to save someone who wanted you dead. And because you walk like a queen. Annette Curtis Klause
About This Quote

In the movie "The Great Gatsby", a character named Myrtle Wilson is the love of Gatsby's life. She is his entire world. In the end of the novel, she is killed by a man who had been her lover and who was jealous of Gatsby's love for her. The narrator tells a story about a young couple on their wedding day which includes this passage: "She was so beautiful, so soft and delicate, she seemed to have been made for him alone." This line is said by Nick Carraway, a character in the novel who had been invited to their wedding as a friend of the bride and groom.

In this passage, he also refers to Myrtle as being "made for him alone." This idea is significant because it hints at the depth of Gatsby's love for Myrtle. It suggests that he literally created her; he brought her into existence regardless of what anyone else thought about her. This idea also shows how much he cares for Myrtle.

He risks his life to protect her even though she could potentially be killed by another man simply because he loves her. It shows that his feelings are extremely strong and that he literally cannot live without her.
