2 Edna 's independence throughout the novel shows the view on how a feminist role is. Her husband controls everything "looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of a personal property that suffered from damage" (3) and the major gap between their age indicates that Edna doesn 't have a lot in stock.

Like most Americans, Gatsby’s hope is accomplishing his lifelong dream, earning Daisy’s love. Fitzgerald showcases this expectation throughout the novel through the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock.

It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me"(Fitzgerald Chapter 7)!

In the sixth and final stanza she decided enough was enough. “She decided to become a woman and though he still refuses to be a man she decided it was all right”, she basically gave up on trying to be perfect for the man in her life, she was already perfect and supportive and the man in her life didn’t see it. The poem Woman by Nikki Giovanni is really inspiring to all woman and young girls.

We have to move from the negativity and spread our wings and fly.
