The Women of Gatsby




Daisy-Daisy is Nick's cousin, Tom's wife, and she is also the women Gatsby is in love with. Daisy is a very selfish person. All she cares about is herself and her status in society. She also is a golddigger because she married Tom because he came from a wealthy family. She is having an affair with Jay Gatsby because he loves her and she loves the attention. She was supposed to wait for him but she broke her promise to marry Tom.
Jordan Baker-"She is a longtime friend of Daisy. Jordan is a professional golfer who cheated in order to win her first tournament. She is extremly cynical, with a masculine, icy demeanor that Nick in itially finds compelling. They become briefly involved, but Jordan rejects him because he is as corrupt and decadent as she is."
Myrtle Wilson- She is the wife of George Wilson who owns a gas station.She does not love her husband whatsoever. She is very unsatisfied with her life because she was no wealth and therefore no status in society. She has been having a longtime affair with Tom, Daisys husband, and is very jealous of Daisy. After a fight she has with her husband she runs out into the street and gets hit by a car and dies.
