They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby. Chapter 9, Nick’s moral indictment of the Buchanans, who are corrupted by their wealth and perception of things. Ignorant to what is going on in the world around them, they refuse to have any guilt for their reckless behavior. While Myrtle, George and Gatsby have all died, Nick observes that the Buchanans are not punished at all for their recklesness and can simply retreat back into their money. They are portrayed at people with no morals or religion or God.
