Myrtle's Social Status In The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald showcases each social status in his writing. The gap between Myrtle and Daisy is pretty huge, and this is in the aspects of acceptance and wealth. Seeing the vast difference between both women created a sense of hope that the American Dream is in fact possible. Daisy had been born into wealth, who “seems to represent the typical upper class female in the early 20th century” (The Great Gatsby Wiki). She was living the life that many of those wanting to achieve the dream aspire to live. “I’ve been everywhere and seen everything and done everything. Sophisticated- God, I’m sophisticated!” (Fitzgerald, 17). Daisy is well aware of the fact that she’s at the top, and her own social status allows her to deepen her knowledge greatly. Jordan
