Examines the characters of Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Myrtle Wilson in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
In this paper, I analyze the three main female characters of The Great Gatsby: Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Myrtle Wilson. I attempt to show how each represented the materialism and shallow nature of the upper classes during 1920s America. I point out how the characters are similar in that they are self-centered, careless and have little self-respect.
