Born-September 24, 1896 Died-December 21, 1940 Married Zelda Sayre Famous works include The Great Gatsby And Winter Dreams, which well also read.

Fitzgerald named the 1920s The Jazz Age Wrote screenplays for Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer Created the The Great Gatsby which is said to be the most accurate description of the 1920s

Prohibition was in effect Dances such as the Charleston were popular Economy was in a Boom

Prohibition + speakeasies Women (right to vote, manner in which they dressed) The Jazz Age: music, dance, merriment, drinking

Flappers were women who rebelled against the fashion and social norms of the early 1900s. They married at a later age and drank and smoked in public Flappers were known for their carefree lifestyles.

Flappers dressed in shapeless dresses that came to the knee. Dresses were made to look boy-like Gender bending was common. Women would try to make themselves look more man-like.

Jay Gatsby- The self-made wealthy man who lives next door to Nick Carraway and loves Daisy Buchanan

Nick Carraway- the narrator, Daisys cousin, Gatsbys neighbor

Daisy Buchanan- married to Tom, Gatsbys love interest before the war, socialite, golddigger

Tom Buchanan- Daisys husband, has an affair with Myrtle Myrtle Wilson- Toms woman in the city, married to George George Wilson- owns the gas station Jordan Baker- Daisys friend, professional golfer

West Egg- where Nick and Gatsby live, represents new money East Egg- where Daisy lives, the more fashionable area, represents old money

The City- New York City, where the characters escape to for work and play The Valley of Ashes- between the City and West Egg, where Wilsons gas station is

The Eyes of Dr. T. J. Ekleburg- A decaying billboard in the Valley of Ashes with eyes advertising an optometrist. There are multiple proposed meanings, including the representation of Gods moral judgment on society.

Gatsby is the ideal image of one who has achieved the American Dream. What is the American Dream and who has achieved it in our time?

The American Dream Beautiful people doing ugly things Appearances can be decieving

New Money: Someone who has achieved the American Dream Not as respected in the 1920s Old Money Money from family wealth Born rich Not earned through work done by yourself Respected above all in the 1920s
