F. S COTT F ITZGERALD AND THE 1920’ S

F ITZGERALD ’ S L IFE Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Yes, he was named after Francis Scott Key) Moved often as a child His father never held a job long Was not a good student Attended Princeton 1913 Left Princeton to enlist in the army WWI Met Zelda Sayre… this is where the trouble begins!

F ITZGERALD ’ S L IFE C ONTINUED The Great Gatsby (1925) Alcoholism Zelda’s fault? “Wh****g” short stories to “make a buck”? Published many works but life was too tumultuous Died 1940; massive heart attack

I T ’ S ALL IN THE NAME

A LTERNATE T ITLES FOR T HE G REAT G ATSBY Gatsby Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires Trimalchio Trimalchio in West Egg On the Road to West Egg Under the Red, White, and Blue Gold-Hatted Gatsby The High-Bouncing Lover

S OME MAKE SENSE, BUT WHY T RIMALCHIO ? Trimalchio = character in ancient Roman novel by Petronius, The Satyricon Specifically, a section entitled “The Banquet of Trimalchio” (Cena Trimalchionis)

T RIMALCHIO CONTINUED Trimalchio attained power and wealth through hard work and perseverance (link to the American Dream?) Famous for his lavish dinner parties with many people and exotic dishes Sought to impress his guests (link to Nouveau Riche?) Is this sounding at all like Jay Gatz???

S O WHY T HE G REAT G ATSBY ? Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda Fitzgerald, and editor, Maxwell Perkins, both preferred it that way Fitzgerald attempted twice to change the title during printing, but it was too late  Said of the title, “it is only fair, rather bad than good.”
