ABSTRACT
The Great Gatsby depicts three totally different heroines-- Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Myrtle Wilson. They have something in common, that is, the hollow, materialistic and hypocritical nature. The work not only depicts a variety of different vivid characters but also shows us the attractive panorama of American Jazz Age. This thesis explores Fitzgerald’s two-fold values towards women in order to experience again the beauty and charm of the greatest work of America in the twentieth century and brings to a natural conclusion that Fitzgerald’s inner world and his attitude towards women are of complexity and duplicity.
Key words: Jazz Age; The Great Gatsby; American Dream; feministic values
