"God hath given you one face and you make yourselves another. You jig, you amble, and you lisp, you nickname God's creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance"(Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1, Lines 137-140)
I mean really it depends on if you'd like to piss them off or make them happy

I don't have a paper copy of Gatsby, so I'm using Project Gutenberg. :) Without knowing what your paper is actually about, I think that a feminist theorist would probably look at Tom Buchanan and his treatment of women very closely. He interrupts the female speakers at least five times in the first chapter alone. In Chapter 2 he interrupts the woman who is speaking by breaking her nose. So just look through the first two chapters for when Daisy, Jordan, and Myrtle respectively are speaking in Tom's presence.
Chapter 1

"Listen, Nick; let me tell you what I said when she was born. Would you like to hear?"
"Very much."
"It'll show you how I've gotten to feel about--things. Well, she was less than an hour old and Tom was God knows where. I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. 'All right,' I said, 'I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."
Chapter 6
Show Content
Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisy's running around alone, for on the following Saturday night he came with her to Gatsby's party. Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness--it stands out in my memory from Gatsby's other parties that summer. There were the same people, or at least the same sort of people, the same profusion of champagne, the same many-colored, many-keyed commotion, but I felt an unpleasantness in the air, a pervading harshness that hadn't been there before. Or perhaps I had merely grown used to it, grown to accept West Egg as a world complete in itself, with its own standards and its own great figures, second to nothing because it had no consciousness of being so, and now I was looking at it again, through Daisy's eyes. It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment.
The two quotes below are also from Chapter 6, where the author opts to describe women as flowers. Not sure if that's thematic throughout the novel after this point but it's certainly something you could look into.

His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

"Perhaps you know that lady." Gatsby indicated a gorgeous, scarcely human orchid of a woman who sat in state under a white plum tree.
Hope that helps! Feel free to add me if you have any questions or would like help with editing the paper. I have great affection for editing. I'll take a look at Hamlet tonight to see if I can add anything to the two you were already given - I'll edit my post if I come up with anything. :)
Good luck!

You choose text examples based on the thesis you want to argue. You haven't given one, unless your essay is going to be literally "a feminist theorist would find this passage provocative because..." I can't even imagine a college course built around those texts much less forcing the students to address them thru feminism
So I'm just going to assume you're another internet user who wants to have the umpteenth conversation on feminism and academia

I'd actually recommend reading BNW, it's actually really good, I've heard gatsby's not bad either. As for quotes, right in the beginning of BNW, they describe the process by which they create humans.

I hadn't totally decided on a thesis at that point and yes our given task is to write through a feminist pov, but find something specific to focus on which is why I made this thread. mb if I didn't explain enough.

It's a high school paper, and from what I've gleaned, was actually presented in terribly vague terms by the teacher. Not too surprising for HS level writing.

yawnyes our given task is to write through a feminist pov, but find something specific to focus on
That's a pretty awful prompt, condolences.
A fairly easy essay would be about the unfair dichotomous role women play, Ophelia/Daisy in particular. Essentially, the unrealistic male fantasies their expected to fulfill whether from their family or former partner and how that fantasy comes into conflict with their reality as a flesh n blood being
