The AuthorComparison to his charactersFitzgerald Nick GatsbyMany of the events from Fitzgerald’s early life appear in his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925.

thoughtful young man from Minnesota, educated at an Ivy League school (in Nick’s case, Yale), who moves to New York after the war.

a sensitive young man who idolizes wealth and luxury and who falls in love with a beautiful young woman while stationed at a military camp in the South.

Page 14: The Great Gatsby Introduction

The AuthorComparison to his charactersFitzgerald Nick GatsbyHe found himself in an era in which unrestrained materialism set the tone of society, particularly in the large cities of the East.

Like Nick, Fitzgerald saw through the glitter of the Jazz Age to the moral emptiness and hypocrisy beneath, and part of him longed for this absent moral center.

Like Gatsby, Fitzgerald was driven by his love for a woman who symbolized everything he wanted, even as she led him toward everything he despised.

Page 15: The Great Gatsby Introduction

The AuthorComparison to events in the storyFitzgerald Nick GatsbyHaving become a celebrity, Fitzgerald fell into a wild, reckless life-style of parties and decadence, while desperately trying to please Zelda by writing to earn money.

Like Nick in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald found this new lifestyle seductive and exciting

Gatsby amasses a great deal of wealth at a relatively young age, and devotes himself to acquiring possessions and throwing parties that he believes will enable him to win Daisy’s love.

Nick alternates sections where he presents events objectively, as they appeared to him at the time, with sections where he gives his own interpretations of the story’s meaning and of the motivations of the other characters.

POINT OF VIEW

Page 56: The Great Gatsby Introduction

Nick’s attitudes toward Gatsby and Gatsby’s story are ambivalent and contradictory. At times he seems to disapprove of Gatsby’s excesses and breaches of manners and ethics, but he also romanticizes and admires Gatsby, describing the events of the novel in a nostalgic and elegiac tone.
