Jordan Baker is one of the quieter characters in The Great Gatsby, but she stands out because she is different from most of the women in the book. She is calm, confident, and always seems in control. She is also a famous golf player, which was not common for women at the time. But if you look closer, she is not as put together as she seems.
Jordan is known for bending the truth. Nick even says she cheated in a golf tournament. She does not seem to care much about honesty, and that matches the world she lives in. One where people lie, cheat, and cover things up to keep their perfect image. She is not loud or dramatic like Daisy, but that does not mean she is trustworthy.
Her relationship with Nick also shows how distant she is. They are together for a while, but Jordan never really opens up. When Nick ends things with her, she just moves on without much emotion. It is like she never really cared. She is more focused on protecting herself than making a real connection.
Jordan may seem like she has it all together, but underneath, she is just as lost as the others. She is part of the same world that hides behind money and charm. In the end, she is not a bad person, but she is not really a good one either. She is just trying to survive in a place where feelings do not matter as much as appearances.
