    Influences on F. Scott Fitzgeralds' writing in The Great Gatsby

    The Roaring Twenties was a period of frivolous days and exciting nights. Times were prosperous and life was good for most. In The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald writes about the fictitious life of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire (Gross 1). The setting of the novel is New York in the twenties, a time, and place, where people were jovial and carefree. In New York, more than anywhere, people did not worry about life's downs, but focused on the highlife and partying. Prohibition made partying difficult, but it prevailed nonetheless. In the novel, Fitzgerald's description of humans was of an appalling nature. He shows them as careless, greedy, and inconsiderate; much like they truly were in this decade. Inevitably he would become involved in some type of lackadaisical ways. Fitzgerald's writing's were significantly influenced by these surroundings. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing was profoundly influenced by events in his life, the exciting times he lived in, and the people he knew.…

    Historical information about the period of original publication: The novel was published during a time known as the “Roaring Twenties”. There was economic prosperity and America became a consumer society. There were many cultural and social reformations. Jazz music became popular, and flapper women emerged.

    The 1920s gained its nickname, The Roaring Twenties from its wild and carefree lifestyle.

    Great Beginnings

    One of the characteristics of Modernism is the rejection of traditional themes, subjects, and forms. This is shown numerous times throughout the book in my opinion. I'm not entirely sure about the the 1920s, but I don't think that topics like men and women cheating on their spouses, racism, and men hitting women were very commonly talked about. One of the greatest examples of this is the character Tom Buchanan. He is morally inept in my opinion. In the beginning of the book he talks very openly about his racial beliefs stating that the dominant, or white race is in danger of being taken over by the colored people of the country. Tom shows a very firm belief in this which is…
