Marxist Criticism:
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The wealthier Gatsby offers Nick a chance to make money, since he is basically more powerful than Nick since he has more money, and he is in a higher social class. The working class is also represented by the servants for Gatsby.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Feminist Criticism:
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The golden girl, Daisy, is seen as materialistic due to her awe at Gatsby's mansion. This can be resented by feminists and Fitzgerald can be seen as downgrading women due to their easy appeasement.
