Tender Is the Night

at the age of 44, December 21st, 1940. He was actually born in St. Paul, Minnesota which I found to be very interesting. In his lifetime he wrote four novels and several short stories. The four novels he wrote were: The Side of Paradise, Tender is the Night, The Beautiful is Damned, and his most famous novel and one of the most popular novels of all time, The Great Gatsby. I think that his biggest contribute to American Literature was his novel The Great Gatsby. I have read this novel, and even

stories throughout his life. His style of writing was like no other. One of his most famous was "The Great Gatsby" which was about two people representing the two sides of Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby. He also wrote another book “Tender is the Night” which is about his experiences with his wife while she suffered chronic mental breakdowns, most happening out of the blue. Most of his stories and books were biographies of himself and his life and in other term allegories. Also there are

the night of cloudless climes and starry skies.” In this quote the woman is being compared to a cloudless and starry night probably because her mind is void of any troubling thoughts and the aura around her, or the atmosphere she carries, is twinkling beautifully like a starry sky. Imagery is used at the end of the first stanza in the quote, “Meet in her aspect and her eyes; thus mellow’d to that tender light.” This quote uses imagery when describing the woman’s eyes and complexion as “tender light”

unique while drawing readers into the character’s lives. Tender is the Night was one of his works that gained more positive reviews, like a certain critique from Independent UK, “The beauty of Tender lies as much in its parts as its whole,” and goes on to mention, “Fitzgerald can evoke the happy, troubled and perilous balance of a group of friends or the moment when a long friendship is ruined for good,” (Benn, “Book of a”). Tender is the Night got a lot more positive reviews than Gatsby and it truly

as an author who has a timeless impact on literature with themes that resonate with every kind of person. F. Scott Fitzgerald, along with several others, is the epitome of a literary genius. Fitzgerald’s works like This Side of Paradise and Tender is the Night are both great stories and, in a deeper and more analytical context, works that reflect the reality of the world. The world isn’t in the most ideal state, and Fitzgerald knows that. From describing the lonesome life of wealth and riches to examining

As an example for the statements above is how Jane in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre takes reading seriously. It grows into an activity that that lets her to follow both the romance and the vocation plots of her life story to their logical conclusions, and then to write her irregular account of those plots (Brantlinger, 1998:116). The reading activity which is a part of literacy practice becomes a tool for Jane to think logically. Those examples shows that literacy also exists in a fictional works

Fitzgerald’s life are shown in many explicit ways, but are also detailed through less specific ways. In The Great Gatsby, parties and drinking are referenced on almost page; mimicking the days he spent with his wife that he barely remembered. Tender Is the Night references are veiled through the actions and metaphors that Fitzgerald wrote so eloquently into

the absence of tender loving care from the husband, the honeymoon night becomes a disaster. Hence, my goal was to get the love of my husband. I waited for Gautama ignoring the bed of grass and tried to remember one more time the words of Pratha. She told me about the conjugal life. “The wife is like a silent altar for sacrifice in the beginning of a married life. The husband ignites the pure fire. He tries to connect with the wife's body, mind and soul, being caring, loving, and tender. Then, the new

originally fictional novels morphed into autobiographical representations of his life and the Jazz Age. The main characters of The Great Gatsby clearly represented the main participants in the height of Fitzgerald’s life. On the other hand, Tender is the Night epitomised the downfall of the Fitzgerald’s lives. Whether he meant to or not, the main characters of his story became the main characters of his life and what he thought he and they should be. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald puts himself

mediums. “Boys and Girls” (Munro) is a short story about a young girl strongly influenced by her father trying to find her place in the world. “Tender Offer” (Wasserstein) is a play detailing the difficulties of communication between a father and daughter in modern times. Lastly, “My Papa’s Waltz” (Roethke) is a light hearted poem illustrating a joyful night shared by a father and his child. Among all three works, the children can be seen looking up to their fathers hoping in turn to be recognized
