She continuously lies (such as in the golfing tournament) in order to maintain her status (of an excellent gofer). She also pries in other people’s business such as when Tom and Daisy’s argument when the phone (Myrtle) rings during dinner. Jordan also encourages Daisy to have an affair with Gatsby, despite being a friend of the Buchanans. Furthermore, all three women are guilty of being money, status

In the book Like Water for Chocolate, Tita has to choose between true romance, or love that will provide security for her. Tita knows in her heart that her desire for Pedro is greater than her desire for John, but John is more likely to make a better husband. Although Pedro is not very caring and supportive, he and Tita have an enormous passion for one another, one that makes the two almost inseparable. John on the other hand does everything humanly possible to try and make Tita happy. John cares about Tita, but it’s not enough to prevail over the unconditional passion that keeps Tita crazy over Pedro.
We could interpret this as tension in their relationship, as it is not normal for married couples to not tell their true feelings to each other. However, this can also be interpreted as a strength in their relationship as John does not want to hurt his wife's feelings, and wants to make
She follows it because she is now programmed to believe this is the way of life and in turn she has become extremely tentative. She was raised to believe that you needed a husband to take care of you, although she personally believed she would do fine without a husband. She struggles with this because as I stated earlier, she did not want to be the average woman that relied on a man for her every need, but as time passed she became exactly that. Even though she was unhappy with her being, she wanted her daughters to follow in her footsteps and find a supportive husband versus going out and being themselves. She was satisfied with never wanting for anything financially, so much so she allowed this to distract her from the fact that she was emotionally unfulfilled in every aspect of her life.
On one hand, Margot is fashionable and presents herself well. Furthermore, she is “kept” by her husband in a state of luxurious affluence. Ironically, she is not “well-kept” by her husband at all, as she freely and unapologetically commits adultery. Her marriage to Francis Macomber is obviously not a happy one, but she refuses to divorce him because of his money, but Francis cannot divorce her because of her beauty. Margot is delighted when Francis runs from the lion; because she thinks it would give her more psychological control over him.
Her popularity was often displayed by newspapers and magazines. Daisy, as she “seen everything and done everything” (Fitzgerald 22), she cannot stand the very thought of her throwing away her rich lifestyle and popularity by marrying Gatsby. As a “sophisticated” (Fitzgerald 22) woman, she knew that if she married a poor soldier like Jay Gatsby, he would not be able to support her lifestyle and she would not have the same view that the society has about her: a rich, aristocratic woman. Her actions proved that no matter where she went, “her voice [will always be] full of money.” (Fitzgerald 127). As the Beatles would say, money cannot buy love.
The speaker is not simply asking the “coy mistress” to sleep with him, what he is saying is if there was all the time in the world then life would be ideal but there is not so they have to live for the moment. He loves her, but there is not time for her coyness and
To begin her name both is both appropriate for a male and a female. She also wears her hair short and doesn’t act very feminine. She is a professional golfer and at that time, it was different for woman to have a profession like that. Jordan is also dishonest because she cheated in her first golf tournament. Her role as a minor character also adds a relationship between Nick
