It is a given that every piece of work that people read will contain all sorts of characters. Those characters can range from villains, victims, or venerables. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, he very thoroughly presents each of those types of characters to his readers. Mr. Wilson matches the definition of a victim in this novel by the way people deceived him and lied to him the entire time, Nick Carraway presents himself as a venerable, otherwise known as an honorable character, due to his outstanding loyalty, and Daisy Buchanan, although not seen by most, is a villain because of her actions that cause detrimental issues.
In the novel, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays women in an extremely negative light. The idea Fitzgerald gives off is that women are only good for their looks and their bodies and that they should just be a sex symbol rather than actually use their heads. He treats women like objects and the male characters in the novel use women, abuse women, and throw them aside. I believe that Daisy, Jordan and Myrtle are prime examples of women in The Great Gatsby being treated poorly.

Does the male domination today compare to the extensive sexism of women throughout history? The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald, both coherently portray women in American history as submissive to male authority. The Scarlet Letter is a novel based in the 17th century where Hester Prynne, an adulteress, is stripped of her identity through public humiliation, but defies the societal views of her town and bravely accepts her faults. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan is portrayed as a perfect, high-class, and beautiful women whom all men fall in love with the idea of her.

In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Daisy is portrayed as a modern woman; she is sophisticated, careless and beautifully shallow. Daisy knows who she is, and what it takes for her to be able to keep the lifestyle she grew up in, and this adds to her carelessness and her feigned interest in life. In all, Daisy is a woman who will not sacrifice material desires or comfort for love or for others, and her character is politely cruel in this way. Daisy’s main strength, which buoyed her throughout her youth and when she was in Louisville, is her ability to know what was expected of her and feign cluelessness.
In “The Great Gatsby” by F.Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Buchanan represents a man who is unfaithful, selfish, and arrogant.
