Why of course you can!"(Pg. 116). As for Daisy, she is stuck between who she used to be and who she was. Certainly, there is no love between them, making their reality an illusion.…
Through Nick Carraways choice of dictation and detail, he conveys Tom Buchanan as a power-craving, dominant man. Tom is described as having various physical accomplishments, including: being one of the most powerful ends that ever played footballsturdyaggressivedominantand a body capable of enormous leverage-a cruel body. Not to mention, Toms family was extremely wealthy-which carried into his generation-and is considered a very powerful man. Despite these references to Toms strength, physically and economically, Nicks word choice depicts him as the complete opposite. When Nick sees Tom standing on the porch, he illustrates him as having a supercilious mannerarrogant eyesleaning aggressively forwardand an impression of fractiousness. All of these descriptions support the fact that Tom is actually a very weak and fake man. His supercilious mannerisms and arrogant eyes make him seem cocky and self-important, to the point of his unawareness toward how powerless he really is. Also, when he has his legs apart on the front porch, leans forward aggressively and conveys an impression of fractiousness, it is implied that he is purposely over compensating the degree, or necessity, of power he feels he should express in order to make him think that other people believe he is unquestionably powerful. The overall purpose of characterizing Tom-in the way he did-was to exemplify how much he is the ideal man. This constant judging and belittlement of the people around him makes him feel superior-and gives him a feeling of excellence over everyone, inclusively convincing himself that he is truly the ideal…

The 1920’s was a time of great growth for women in America. Women began to have short haircuts, wear shorter dresses, and smoke cigarettes. These were practically unheard of in the years before for women. They were liberated and installed with a sense of confidence, especially from their newfound suffrage. This also brought along criticism towards the new woman of the 1920s. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the female characters Jordan, Myrtle, and Daisy are seen in a negative way through their actions and color symbolism.…
