Feminism is the weakest literary criticism as only three characters give us a view through the feminist lens, Daisy, Myrtle, and Jordan. Daisy is stuck in a love triangle and ends up choosing status and wealth for more security at the end of the book. For women to stay safe and secure in the past, they often married wealthy individuals with a valuable status such as Tom as opposed to settling down with real love. Myrtle represents how women of lower class are seen in this society, being treated poorly by Tom, believing he loves her when he is simply using her. Myrtle marries Mr. Wilson due to believing he could breed well when that was not the case at all. This assumption got her stuck in a sort of prison, allowing the reader to sympathize with her situation. Jordan is a character that opposes all these feminine views. She is drastically different from Myrtle and Daisy, being the only one out of the three who is not married, and the only one who has a career as a professional golfer which was a male dominant sport. Jordan prefers to stay independent, however a feminine trait she exhibits is attending numerous parties to raise her social status. While these three characters display feminism, the lens is not that strong throughout the book. Myrtle’s death causes the lens to become weaker, Daisy’s story becomes more post-colonial, while Jordans character focuses on her archetype. You can see more emphasis on post-colonial and archetypal then feminist, as most of the feminism seen in the book can also be attributed to post-colonial.
