The 1920s came like a roaring thunder. When I think of the 1920s, what comes to mind? Flappers, illegal alcohol, jazz and partying sound good. Fitzgerald vaguely documents the lifestyle he lived with his wife at that time in his novel "The Great Gatsby." Fitzgerald does a great job of capturing the party lifestyle of the time, but also takes time to develop the female characters. Although the Roaring Twenties were a liberating time for women, Fitzgerald shows through the different traits of the female characters, that women still faced many challenges due to patriarchy and social class. Daisy is probably the most important female character in “The Great Gatsby”. He lives in the sophisticated East Egg with Daisy who is perhaps the most enlightened of the female characters because she realizes that the top of the ladder for her and her daughter must be trophies. His aspirations seem limited to simple entertainment. Her social status was an obstacle to Gatsby marrying her. Gatsby knew that she would never marry him for love, because he was poor. Daisy would not find it difficult to deny him because it is simple, as Gatsby says, "he had no real right to touch her hand." He was poor so he shouldn't even have the chance to talk to her. Jordan is also at the top of the social ladder. She also just wants to have fun, but it seems like she is motivated to be on the same level as men. She jokes and is frank when she speaks, as if she were on the same level as them. This may be true because he sometimes interrupts Nick mid-sentence, who is of a lower class. Similar to Daisy, Jordan's relationship with Nick would never go anywhere because he is also from a lower class, so getting married would be taboo. We later find out that she is like Tom, she is engaged and still uses Nick as a toy. Perhaps this is a privilege that a higher class has over a lower class. Myrtle on the other hand is not on the same level as Jordan and Daisy, but she is desperate to achieve her goal: to achieve the same Many of the events and characteristics directly related to her real life according to a short biography by F Scott Fitzgerald (Oxford) . She used Myrtle, Daisy, and Jordan to express what she thought about the condition of women in the 1920s. The 1920s were a time of rapid changes in moral and social values, and Fitzgerald demonstrates that women were caught in the midst of a chaotic transition from the old ways to the new. This is especially evident in the case of Jordan Baker. In her conversation with Nick about driving, which is really a conversation about relationships, she implies that she wants the best of both worlds. She wants the comfort and security of being a sophisticated woman, but she also wants to live a carefree life. This symbolizes the process by which women of the 1920s made decisions about how they wanted to spend their lives. Furthermore, since she clearly does not allow herself to be influenced by a man, she represents the growing independence of modern women. Myrtle was at the other end of the spectrum. Although Myrtle did not achieve her dream of becoming rich and married to Tom, she died trying. The author conveys through Myrtle that women have the determination to move forward in life, but promiscuity is not the means. Through Daisy, Fitzgerald shows that women can be careless and it is unfair that they can get away with it
