Tinder

Lily Bart, the main character in Wharton’s The House of Mirth, must depend on marriage to maintain her financial and social standing. She struggles to find a partner who will support her monetary needs, help her maintain her social status, and be the object of her affection. Because the theme of marriage and relationships is so prominent in The House of Mirth, I decided to create Tinder (the dating app) profiles for four of Lily’s bachelors that provide a brief description of why Lily should or should not marry each suitor. Below are the Tinder profiles of Percy Gryce, Lawrence Selden, Simon Rosedale, and George Dorset. Each image included in the profiles are photos of each character from the movie The House of Mirth.
