Character_Analysis

Character Analysis Characters and locations are the main aspect of novels. Characters have unique personas. Characters and locations from different novels often function in similar ways within their respected narratives. This is the case with Steinbeck’s Sweet Thursday and Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby. Although the similarities may not be apparent at first, after closely examining the works of fiction they become more evident. Steinbeck’s character, Fauna, and Fitzgerald’s character, Jordan Baker, demonstrate this hidden similarity. At first, these characters seem to be complete opposites. One element that is different between the two characters is the lady’s occupations. Fauna is a whorehouse owner. She sells prostitutes for a living. Jordan Baker is a professional golfer. She has a respectful and legitimate career. The two also differ with their take on life. Jordan Baker takes life as it is. Jordan Baker shows this by knowing that Tom Buchanan is having an affair and not trying to justify it. Fauna, on the other hand, is Cannery Row’s gossip queen. She knows all and tells all. Fauna knows all about Suzy’s true feelings of love for Doc and she tells Doc everything. Another difference between these characters is their relationship with the main females in the novel.
