This paper is trying to analyze different characterizations between Daisy and Jordon from feminist perspective to throw light on the images of Daisy and Jordon in The Great Gatsby, portraying two different kinds of women with different ideas created by F. Scott Fitzgerald at the background of the patriarchal society, Daisy stands for a traditional oppressed woman whereas Jordan represents a new female image in pursuit of freedom and independence. Simultaneously, their images also reveal an inspiring implication for women who want to obtain independence and freedom, only when women break the shackles of patriarchal ideology and gain the independence of economy by unremitting efforts can they completely enjoy the independence of mind as well as the right that they deserve.
