In The Great Gatsby, the character Daisy Buchanan embodies purity, sophistication, and grace. She is the epitome of wealthy American women in the 1920s, weaving between social circles often through parties in a way that results in their optimal outcome.

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.
