F. Scott Fitzgerald Born in St. Paul, Minnesota Enrolled in Princeton, but he left to join the army Stationed in the South and met Zelda Sayre Married Zelda after first novel, This Side of Paradise Turbulent marriage was marked by an extravagant lifestyle, alcoholism, and Zelda’s emotional breakdown

Works Four novels The Great Gatsby is most highly praised Style is “ lushly evocative” Because of subject matter and style, critics overlooked the themes of The Great Gatsby

Themes Position class, wealth, social standing Gatsby’s whole focus on life is to attain money and status to sustain a certain position in life. From their position in life, Daisy and Tom look down at people from their position in life.

“ Age of the Automobile” Increase in cars manufactured from 7 million in 1919 to 23 million in 1929

Scandals Chicago Black Sox Scandal Teapot Dome Scandal Gangster and Police Corruption

Carelessness Irresponsible lifestyle Many authors of the roaring 20’s criticized the decadent lifestyle. Daisy and Tom are careless with their lives due to their position in life.

Symbolism The Green Light Something/Someone a person longs for and is off in the distance

The Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg The eyes look over the situation objectively, but offer judgment of characters and their actions. Crimes go unpunished. The eyes look on and remind the characters of their actions.

East and West Egg Class and Social Standing pose a barrier for almost every character. Setting of story is also East Egg and West Egg. Gatsby is enticed by a green light coming from the East. It represents what he can’t have, Daisy. Daisy lives on the East Egg.

Water Water serves as a substantial physical barrier separating people
