A Gatsby Curse?

The Great Gatsby
p. 60-72

At the beginning of Chapter IV, Nick gives a detailed list of all the visitors to the Gatsby mansion during the summer. At first this list seemed long and irrelevant to me; however, as I read on, I noticed a possible trend among the fates of the guests. For example Doctor Webster Cove  "was drowned last summer up in Maine" (Fitzgerald, 61-62), Edgar Beaver's hair "turned cotton-white one winter afternoon for no good reason at all" (Fitzgerald, 62), "Snell was there three days before he went to the penitentiary, so drunk out on the gravel drive that Mrs. Ulysses Swett's automobile ran over his right hand" (Fitzgerald, 62), "Muldoon who afterward strangeled his wife" (Fitzgerald, 62), "and the young Quinns, divorced now" (Fitzgerald, 63), and Henry L. Palmetto "killed himself by jumping in front of a subway train in Times Square" (Fitzgerald, 63). All of these were guests had extremely unfortunate experiences since attending a Gatsby party. This mentioning of the guests and their lives since that summer can not be simply irrelevant; I believe F. Scott Fitzgerald included this list as either a foreshadowing tactic or to increase the mystery around Gatsby's character. Another question I encountered was whether unlucky/strange guests were all coincidentally attending Gatsby parties, or if this luck was somehow a curse of those who attend the parties? As farfetched as this thought may be, I find it intriguing! I hope these guests are all cursed (sorrynotsorry). A curse would indeed make The Great Gatsby a suspenseful and worthwhile read =)
