Gatsby characters

Most of the characters in the first two chapters are high-class, wealthy people. They are rich, snobbish and superficial. The conversation between them at the party in New York City in chapter 2 shows how conceited some of them are and how much they care about money and social status. The female character like Myrtle or Daisy are been considered as inferior to men and they are weak and powerless in someways. In chapter one, Daisy said that she wish her daughter can be a pretty little fool, which implies her helplessness and disappointment of women's status in the society. In chapter two, when Myrtle was drunk and began to talk about Daisy, Tom got angry and broke her nose. It reflects the fact that men have more power the women in that society.
