Construction of Women Identity in F. Scott Fitzgeraald The Great Gatsby 1925

---

This study analyzes the construction of women's identity in F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925) using Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s
postcolonial theory. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the data were
collected from the novel’s narrative and dialogues, then analyzed through Spivak’s
concepts of subalternity, identity negotiation, and identity fragmentation. The
findings show that women’s identities in the novel are shaped by patriarchal power
and class hierarchy. Daisy Buchanan represents a subaltern woman who loses
autonomy as her voice is controlled by male characters such as Tom and Gatsby.
Jordan Baker demonstrates identity negotiation by presenting herself as a modern,
independent woman who resists traditional patriarchal norms. Meanwhile, Myrtle
Wilson experiences identity fragmentation due to her desire for upward social
mobility, which ultimately leads to her destruction and tragic death. The study
concludes that the construction of women’s identity in The Great Gatsby is not
natural, but rather a result of the interplay between patriarchal domination, social
class structures, and discursive forces that marginalize women.
