Mr.Carter
English III : American Literature An unbroken series of succesful gestures :
The Great Gatsby has some really interesting facts about women in the days of the 20’s. The most significant and relevant women in this book are Daisy Buchanan, Jordan baker and
Myrtle Wilson, wthout any of them the whole story would not be the same anymore, who play in some opinions the lead role ,in some not, for example would Gatsby have gotten killed by
Wilson, if Daisy would not have driven Myrtle over? These three, all really different from each other are the reason for the achievements reached within the story. . The way Fitzgerald brings any of these three women in the story is amazing but also needs some explanations.
How are any of these three women so powerful throughout the story ? They represent the unsimilar types of women present during the 20’s. Daisy Buchanan is the main reason why Jay Gatsby, originally James Gatz, acts throughout the whole story in that one specific way. He can’t realise that the past is in the past, and especially that Daisy is not the same Daisy he fell in love with five years ago anymore. Daisy is perhaps one of the most disappointing but also most mysterious character. Analysing a person like Daisy is always a hard thing to do. But once the end of the story happened and the reason for everything happening in the story comes to the light it is way easier to understand. Nick Carraway`s first impression of her sitting in a white dress on a couch is as followed : „enormous couch… boyed up as though upon an anchored ballon… [her white dress] rippling and fluttering as if she had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house.
