At her New York apartment with Tom, Myrtle lavishes herself by buying luxury and unnecessary gifts- such as her dog, a common accessory to a wealthy woman’s outfit. This is another attempt to fit in with the wealthier society she so desperately wants to be part of. Jordan too cheats but rather in a golfing tournament than committing adultery, like Daisy and Myrtle, because she is not married. Nick describes Jordan as a ‘dishonest’ woman. She continuously lies (such as in the golfing tournament) in order to maintain her status (of an excellent gofer).
But Daisy was a very picky girl. You can tell when she ignored all of the non wealthy, non classy men that tried to woo her. But then, the rich, handsome, elegant Jay Gatsby introduced himself to her, she couldn't have found a better person. Distracted by the present figure of Gatsby, she didn't love Gatsby, it was the image. For Gatsby, it made him believe that Daisy really fell in love with him.
Curley’s wife is portrayed as being a whore – but this is only due to the way she dresses, her provocative ways and the way she acts around men, as if she is aware of her femininity. This could suggest that she is only like this because she is bored, like it is something to do – something interesting for a change. She is constantly trying to get people to notice her. But, because of Lennie’s purity and innocence, he doesn’t see her in the way other men do – a sexual object. When Steinbeck quotes “And because she had confided in him, she moved closer to Lennie and sat beside him”, it is clear to the audience that Curley’s Wife is using her sexuality as an object to create some sort of excitement for herself.
Curley’s wife is first portrayed as a very stuck up sexually attractive, very young middle class women “no one can hurt looking” which suggests she is good looking but taken i.e married. However “she’s got the eye” which suggests that she although taken has a roving eye and likes to look at other men besides Curley which may also suggest she is unhappy and not impressed with her husband Curley “I don’t like Curley he ain’t a nice fella” which makes the other characters think that being so young she is “Jailbait” and also because she is always flirting. So when we first see Curley’s wife she is portrayed, like Lady Macbeth, as a good looking women but is lacking in confidence where ever she goes and could end up being victimised. Sayings like “I don’t like Curley he ain’t a nice fella” make it look like she really does not like Curley. Steinbeck wrote what he saw.
The Obama Administration tried its best to benefit the people and help them in ways that were never thought possible. Even though some of the contributions that the administration made were not helpful or were just wrong, the president was able to use the kindness of his heart to truly heat the people day in and day out. No one is able to truly intrigue everyone, but Hamilton’s scandal truly effected most of the population drastically (unless they were one to be the one getting money from the bonds). By victimizing the American people Hamilton’s scandal truly ended up affecting him in the long
By 1403, Philip of Burgundy commissioned her to write a biography of his father, King Charles V, perhaps influenced by Christine’s famous quarrel with Jean de Montreuil regarding the Romance of the Rose. Begun in the 1230s by Guillaume de Lorris and completed forty years later by Jean de Meun, the work’s treatment of social and moral subject matter prompted Christine to send a letter to Montreuil in response to his praise for the Rose.3 Christine’s opposition to de Meun’s characterization of women, the obscenity he used in the text, and what Christine read as inappropriate usage of representative characters, such as the priest and Reason, led her to call the work “useless” and “dangerous to innocent
If she were interested in the rebellion Julia would have found the manual very important and interesting. Overall Julia’s many sexual encounters with Party members seems to be more than just personal pleasure and more of a job. Throughout all of the affairs she has yet to be caught, but when she was with Winston they were captured. This seems to be more than just bad luck. Julia’s lifestyle makes it very hard to believe that Julia truly loves Winston.
Even though Tom was an adultery Daisy values the life style of being rich rather than having morals about her marriage. She was forced to make choices. Jay Gatsby was portrayed in this book as a self made man. But his adult life was built on lies, his money was made on illegal activities and his wealth was based on loved. The lavish parties he had to hide the emptiness in his life.
Its clear Gatsby and Daisy have some unfinished business no one likes to be the third wheel. When Gatsby specifically says show her around I think she must be a girl who loves money and he thinks he can win her back by showing her expensive things. 60WORDS Chapter VI: ‘’So he invented just the sort of jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent , and to this conception he was faithful to the end.’’ (pg.104) This explains speak much. Gatsby is a little liar but why does he feel he has to lie about his past life. He even lied about his real name like that’s childish.
Gatsby longs for perfection that he feels he needs to lie and cheat his way towards, and Daisy longs for materialistic things that she will get by any means, even if she has to deny herself true love. Gatsby and Daisy’s tendencies mirror the commonplace morals and attitudes of the 1920’s, but they also mirror widespread views that American society still holds today. There are many people in twenty-first century America that are like Daisy, who love and desire wealth and hold a steady obsession with material objects. There is no doubt that people still probably marry for wealth and status the same way Daisy and so many others did during the 1920’s. The obsession with social hierarchy drives people to be selfish and greedy- never happy with what they have.
