Sarah Woodruff and Daisy Bucha
Sarah Woodruff and Daisy Buchanan - A ComparisonIn the two novels The French Lieutenant's Woman by Fowles, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the authors give life to two women; Sarah in The French Lieutenant's Woman and Daisy in The Great Gatsby. These women live very different lives, but even though the differences in this case outnumber the similarities, the two ladies still have some common characteristics. Also, more importantly, they also have some similar functions in the novels. One similarity between Sarah and Daisy is that they both have very complex characters. Sarah is mystery personified. In the beginning of the book the reader is told a little about Sarah and what she has experienced, and it seems within reach to be able to understand her.

As mentioned earlier, she is a perfect match with the roaring 20's she lives in. ' 'I am, though,' she said with a visible effort. He knew if he reached out his arms he would meet with no resistance. Women then, were not supposed to be educated or have a job and hence she is depending on her husband, Tom, to support her. ' Daisy also switches personality, from being innocent and harmless, to being aggressive full of temper and sometimes out of control.
