Presentation transcript:

English III

 Born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1896  Father failed in first career, then became a salesman for Proctor & Gamble in upstate New York, became very wealthy  Father lost that job in 1908, family moved back to St. Paul  Went to prep school out East (mom’s inheritance)  Studied at Princeton until enlisting in WWI (was on academic probation)

 Never saw combat; stationed in Alabama where he met Zelda Sayre, wealthy debutante, daughter of Alabama Supreme Court judge  Discharged in 1919, moved to NYC to make his fortune  Zelda broke engagement, unwilling to wait and unable to live off such a small salary  “That was always my experience—a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton.... However, I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works."  Moved back to St. Paul, wrote This Side of Paradise, published in 1920, made Fitzgerald famous overnight – married Zelda a week later

 Lived extravagant lifestyle, apt. in New York, summers in Connecticut; had a daughter in 1921 (Scottie)  Both drank excessively; many critics refused to consider him a serious author as a result  Moved to France in 1924, began writing The Great Gatsby  Fell in with other expatriates (Stein, Hemingway, etc.)  Gatsby receives critical praise, but little success in sales  Returned to the US in 1926, then back to Paris in 1929; Zelda has her first “breakdown”, hospitalized (schizophrenia).  Finally settled back in America in Zelda relapses, spends rest of her life as a resident or outpatient of sanitariums.

 Fitzgerald put his next novel on hold, wrote and sold shorts stories to pay for Zelda’s psychiatric hospital bills  Went to Hollywood, not too successful, could not get out of debt.  Died of a heart attack 1940; could not have Catholic burial because of his lifestyle.  Zelda died in a fire in Highland Hospital 8 years later.

 Term coined by Fitzgerald, also known as “The Roaring Twenties”  “It was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire,”  From postwar panic and realism evolved a shaking of social mores, loss of innocence, culture shock  Values of the old generation were rejected-why?  Lifestyle appeared with little moral or religious restraint  Time of high living and opulence (economic boom)  Extreme feeling of alienation and nonidentity  Cars; women’s movement; prohibition/bootlegging

Flappers Speakeasies

 New York/ Long Island (East Egg and West Egg)  Nick Carraway – narrator  Semi-autobiographical (Zelda=Daisy? Fitzgerald=a little bit of everyone else?)  Conflicts in the class system  “The American Dream”?  Transformative power of love?

Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her; If you can bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she cry “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!” -Thomas Parke D’Invilliers
