In this paper, I analyze the three main female characters of The Great Gatsby: Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Myrtle Wilson. I attempt to show how each represented the materialism and shallow nature of the upper classes during 1920s America. I point out how the characters are similar in that they are self-centered, careless, and have little self-respect. 5 pgs. 11 f/c. 4b.
