The novel is written as a diary that Lorelei keeps as she travels to Europe with her friend Dorothy. Throughout the novel, Lorelei recounts her experiences with various wealthy men, whom she refers to as "the gentlemen." She describes her tactics for charming and manipulating them, often using her sexuality and feminine wiles to get what she wants. Despite its light and humorous tone, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is a sharp critique of the social and gender norms of the time. Loos uses Lorelei's character to expose the double standards and hypocrisy of a society that values women primarily for their beauty and sexual appeal. Lorelei is a complex and sympathetic character who defies the expectations placed on her by society. Although she uses her looks and charm to get ahead, she is also intelligent and shrewd, with a keen sense of humor and a strong sense of self-preservation. Loos's writing style is witty and engaging, filled with clever wordplay and humorous observations about the world around her. She also uses parody and satire to critique the literary and cultural norms of the time, often poking fun at the melodramatic writing styles and romantic cliches of popular novels and movies. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its humor, wit, and incisive social commentary.
