Out of all the post world war one authors, none compare to Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Stylistically, very different, but both write about characters living in the prosperous era after WWI. It is the time of great wealth, and celebration and a new image of the American ideal. The American dream instils itself in the hearts and souls of the young and ambitious. Brett Ashley from "The Sun Also Rises" and Daisy Buchanan from "The Great Gatsby" embody the product of a time of grandeur and of irresponsibility; a time of new images and new ideals. The similarities of these two great heroines are astounding but even more remarkable are the differences.
Fitzgerald's descriptive and poetic flair creates a fantasy girl who shares many of the same qualities and attributes that Hemingway's Lady Brett does. Although Hemingway's style is short and non-descriptive, leaving a lot to the imagination, strikingly the characters actions are motivated by similar desires. Both leading flamboyant, extravagant lives, waltzing neglectfully along. Both authors paint images of beautiful, powerful, rich women who are emotionally weak and very dependant on others.
A very evident similarity between Daisy Buchanan and Brett Ashley is their stunning beauty. Beauty is one of the many tools they wield for their own benefit. Female beauty has always had a mystical power over men and is very elegantly displayed in Brett and Daisy. Brett is the desire of every young man; her poise and class give her a very alluring quality. Brett exuberates a sexual desirability much like Daisy was desirable and popular amongst the young soldiers before the war. Daisy's social rank and popularity were very appealing. " that many men had loved her increased her value." (141) "The exhilarating ripple of her voice- (82) had a magnetic attraction people were drawn in to. She had many suitors before marrying Tom, and remained the constant dream of Gatsby.
