Transformation, Memory And The Past. F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald is in many ways one of the most notable writers of the twentieth century. His prodigious literary voice and style provides remarkable insight into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, as well as himself. Exploring themes such as disillusionment, coming of age, and the corruption of the American Dream, Fitzgerald based most of his subject matter on his own despicable, tragic life experiences. Although he was thought to be the trumpeter of the Jazz Age, he never directly identified himself with it and was adverse to many of its manifestations.

In this quote from The Great Gatsby, Nick attempts to describe the nature of Gatsby’s hope and draws the parallel to all of our hopes and dreams that we have as Americans. F. Scott Fitzgerald, an American novelist and short-story writer, was an amazing author who used his work, just like in the quote above, to write about the Roaring Twenties and the hopes of Americans during that time. His earlier works show an idealistic feeling for the potentials of life at college and in “The East,” he attained the sobriquet of “the spokesman of the Jazz Age.”

An example of a work that is heavily influenced by the time period in which it was written is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Babylon Revisited.” Set in Paris during the 1920s, this work delineates the story of a man named Charlie Wales who was at the pinnacle of his life when he succumbed to greed, irresponsibility, and addiction. As a result of his carelessness, Wales experiences a tragic downfall. He not only endures the death of his wife Helen, but he also loses his material fortune, his reputation, and— most importantly— the custody of his daughter Honoria.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Babylon Revisited” contains many examples where chance works against Charlie in this short story. Three key examples are found inside the literary text and are similar because they show chance working against Charlie. The three examples are the stock market crashing, Charlie’s daughter’s guardian getting sick, and him running into people from his alcoholic past. All of these detailed examples in “Babylon Revisited” show how chance works against Charlie by not helping him regain the custody of his only daughter.

Larry Fitzgerald Sr. works as a sportswriter for the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder and Carol Fitzgerald was a teacher. Larry has one younger brother named Marcus Fitzgerald.

Many people admire his work, but he’s hard to catch and follow due to his busy schedule and personal lifestyle being an alcoholic. On the 19th of November 1925 I was given a chance to meet up with F.

Loss, wastefulness, and regret are not words that anyone wants to hear. While reading the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald in “Babylon Revisited” and of Ernest Hemingway in “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” these three words seem to connect to two stories together. In these stories loss, wastefulness, and regret intertwine in the stories to better explain the struggles that people have to deal with.
