Abstract
Women and social class have been a reoccurring topic for many authors over the centuries, including a renown American novelist Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Born in 1896, Francis Scott Fitzgerald left his mark in literature as one of the most famous American authors of the twentieth century to date. Although he achieved limited success during his lifetime, today he is widely regarded as an exceptional author, who earned his success by writing novels and short stories in the 1920s. In his works he... More focuses on the idea of the American Dream, social structure, and life in the Jazz Age, while forming his characters as realistic as possible, making them credible for the depiction of reality. One of his many inspirations was his wife Zelda, whom he was devoted to all his life. The Fitzgeralds lived a lavish and extravagant life, which is mirrored in many of Fitzgerald’s literary works, including his masterpiece of a novel The Great Gatsby. Today, it is considered to be his most successful piece, and being first published in 1925, it is still relevant today. In the novel, Fitzgerald gives an insight in the lives of various people from different social classes in the time of “the Roaring Twenties.” Hidden behind a love story, there is a clear image of class stratification, which is most noticeable in the portrayal of female characters, namely Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Myrtle Wilson. With a diverse set of female characters, Fitzgerald explores the hardships and privileges connected to social class those female characters belong to. This paper will discuss the class-connected differences and similarities between the women in the novel are and how class affects their life, choices, and marriage. Less
