The Women Of Gatsby

The Women of Gatsby include Daisy, Jordan and Myrtile. In The Great Gatsby, F.Scott Fitzgerald shows that marriage doesnt really matter to the women of gatsby. The novel is full of affairs and the women seem to be free. Daisy is Nicks cousin and Tom's Wife but is in love with Gatsby. She is superfiicial at sometimes and is very dramatic as well. At one point in the novel she is crying because of how "beautiful" Gatsby's shirts are. She can sometimes be annoying and get on your nerves as you read the novel.

Jordan Baker is Daisy's friend and is falling in love with Nick. She is beautiful but one of her flaws is her dishonesty. She is a golfer and one time she cheated during a golf tournament. She represents one of the new women of the 1920's by being more like a boy and very self-centered. Myrtile is Tom's lover and is George Wilson's wife. She is fierce and feels that if Tom doesnt treat her the way she wants him too. He treats her more like an object if anything. Myrtile dies when Daisy runs her over in Gatsby's car on the way home from New York City.
