In "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Judy Jones uses her beauty to validate herself, while Dexter Green uses professional success and status as personal validation. One thing that they do have in common is that they are in a pursuit of happiness. We see both of this in their exchange in the end of part III.

"Who are you, anyhow?"

"I'm nobody," he announced. "My career is a largely a matter of futures."

His response expresses his struggle for identity and meaning. He may develop professional success, but it does not define who he truly is. Meanwhile, Judy does not care for who he is. She shows only concern about his financial status when she asks "Are you poor?"

Answer:

Judy Jones’s character doesn’t evolve much over the course of the story. She is a static character who exhibits the same qualities and attitudes from childhood to adulthood over the course of the story.

As a child, Judy is portrayed as haughty and insensitive. She is rude to her servant.

Miss Jones and her retinue now withdrew, and at a proper distance from Dexter became involved in a heated conversation, which was concluded by Miss Jones taking one of the clubs and hitting it on the ground with violence.

Her haughtiness and whimsical behavior is also apparent when Judy courts different men and toys with their feelings. She gets bored easily, is governed by her whims, and doesn’t think about Dexter’s feelings.

Dexter surrendered a part of himself to the most direct and unprincipled personality with which he had ever come in contact.

Even in the end, Judy convinces Dexter to break his engagement with Irene and asks him to marry her but later refuses to marry him. Thus Judy remains a shallow, self-absorbed, and immature person across the course of the story.

Judy’s unchanging character contrasts with Dexter’s dynamic character, which changes considerably over the course of the story. While Judy is born into a wealthy family and remains rich through the story, Dexter starts off as a poor boy who works as a caddy at a golf course. He quits his job to go to college and start his own venture. Unlike Judy, who did not have to work for her money, Dexter’s fortune changes because of his hard work and determination.

Dexter’s initial openness changes to disillusionment and indifference after he has his heart broken by Judy, who remains selfish and insensitive to others’ feelings. The characters’ only commonality is that their sense of worth is determined by external factors. Dexter’s sense of worth is based on his professional achievements; Judy’s sense of worth is dependent on her physical beauty.
