Female Images in The Great Gatsby
Abstract
This paper tends to analyze female images in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby from a feminist perspective. It analyzes these three women characters--Daisy Fay, Myrtle Wilson, and Jordan Baker--in three aspects: characteristics of their images, the relationship between them and their intimate men, and their fight against patriarchy society. This paper tends to point out the similarities and differences of these three female images.
