Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". Francis Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most recognized figures in American literary and cultural history. His novels and short stories provide some of the best insights into the lifestyles of the rich during Americas most prosperous era while at the same time examining major literary themes such as disillusionment, coming of age and the corruption of the American dream. The life of Fitzgerald was marked by as much romanticism and tragedy as could be found in his novels and stories. Throughout his life he unsuccessfully battled alcoholism, depression and his inner demons. Most of Fitzgeralds writing is based on his own experiences. He often got inspired by his surroundings and people in his life. Therefore it is no surprise that his wife Zelda served as the prototype for Daisy and Fitzgerald himself could be identified partially in Nick but also in Gatsby.
