This paper can be mainly pided into three parts which includes introduction, text and conclusion。 The first Chapter introduces the writer and the literature review to him briefly。 The second Chapter is about the female image in The Great Gatsby and analysis which embodies the complex misogyny of the author in the text。 The third Chapter states the causes of Fitzgerald's feminism from social and personal aspect, including the society to which the author belongs and his own experiences that influences a lot on his female criticism。 This work reflects his complex misogyny and attitude towards the new female。
It is mainly said that The Great Gatsby is written for men, and the male narrator Nick seriously narrates the male consciousness and female criticism in the interpretation of the female characters。 Furthermore, women were forced to become the victim of man’s dominance and the image of women suffered serious distortion at the same time which also carried a lot of negative traits。 Thus Fitzgerald made a negative portrayal of female characters and patriarchal under the domination of consciousness by the perspective of Nick in a certain extent。 We can get a better interpretation of Fitzgerald's feminism through the description of female characters in the works, from the aspects such as society and personal bias against women。
