What do you think About the View that there are No Women in ‘The Great Gatsby’ With Whom the Reader Can Sympathise? On first looking into the novel ‘The Great Gatsby’‚ anyone who read it shallowly enough would find it near impossible to be able to sympathise with any female character in the book.

What do you think about the view that there are no women in ‘The Great Gatsby’ with whom the reader can sympathise? I believe that Fitzgerald constructs characters such as: Myrtle Wilson‚ Daisy Buchanan and Jordan Baker which manipulates the reader to perceive these women as sinful‚ lustful and provocative.
