There's nothing better than the idea of ​​living a prestige lifestyle. Evelyn Nesbit was a talented young girl who climbed the social ladder by catching the attention of many famous men in the early 1900s (Gottschalk, 2008). Two of the men Nesbit was associated with were Stanford White and Harry Thaw (Gottschalk, 2008). Thaw's madness claimed White's life (Gottschalk, 2008). Many seem to agree that Nesbit is responsible for Thaw's death. But evidently Nesbit is just a victim of the situation.

Because of this, Thaw takes the brunt of the blame for White's death. His acts were both committed by jealousy and mental
