Answer 8

Describe the Fitzgerold's marrage

Answer 9

The Fitzgeralds enjoyed fame and fortune, and his novels reflected their lifestyle, describing in semi-autobiographical fiction the privileged lives of wealthy, aspiring socialites. Fitzgerald wrote his second novel - "The Beautiful and the Damned" a year after they were married. Three years later, after the birth of their first and only child, Scottie, Fitzgerald completed his best-known work: "The Great Gatsby."

The extravagant living made possible by such success, however, took its toll. Constantly globe-trotting (living at various times in several different cities in Italy, France, Switzerland, and eight of the United States), the Fitzgeralds tried in vain to escape or at least seek respite from Scott's alcoholism and Zelda's mental illness.

Zelda suffered several breakdowns in both her physical and mental health, and sought treatment in and out of clinics from 1930 until her death (due to a fire at Highland Hospital in North Carolina in 1948). Zelda's mental illness, the subject of Fitzgerald's fourth novel, "Tender is the Night," had a debilitating effect on Scott's writing. He described his own "crack-up" in an essay that he wrote in 1936, hopelessly in debt, unable to write, nearly estranged from his wife and daughter, and incapacitated by excessive drinking and poor physical health.

Things were looking up for Fitzgerald near the end of his life - he won a contract in 1937 to write for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in Hollywood and fell in love with Sheilah Graham, a movie columnist. He had started writing again - scripts, short-stories, and the first draft of a new novel about Hollywood - when he suffered a heart attack and died in 1940 at the age of 44, a failure in his own mind. Most commonly recognized only as an extravagant drunk, who epitomized the excesses of the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald's work did not earn the credibility and recognition it holds today until years after his death

Answer 12

What lesson can we learn from F. Scott Fitzgeralds life?

Answer 13

Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" focuses on a love that seems unattainable and unrealistic, I believe that there are life lessons from "The Great Gatsby" that are important to discuss.


As one of my favorite novels, I sighed when I first read the story of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, two literary souls seemingly doomed to repeat the past.


I am sure that I am not the only one who felt the melancholy hanging over these two characters;


I think that regret is a large part of the human condition.


Whether you have read the book or seen the 1974/2013 movie adaptation, these life lessons from "The Great Gatsby" will show you why living in the past is not a great idea.
