129 years ago today, September 24, 1896 (August 18, 1896 in the lunar calendar), American writer Fitzgerald was born. In 1920, Fitzgerald and Zelda married, and they became representatives of the luxury of life of that era. On September 24, 1896, American writer Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born."The Great Gatsby" is one of his most famous novels. F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the most outstanding American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was the only child of a Catholic middle-class family. His maternal grandfather was a millionaire, so his family had an upper-class tradition, but by his father's generation his economic power had plummeted. He played with rich children since he was a child, and he knew that he was not one of them. Therefore, he longed to stand out in society since childhood. Reflected in Fitzgerald's literary works, his own life experience may be more direct than other writers. He mostly describes American high society, and the pursuit of material success is his character and can be said to be the central goal of his own life. He created the luxury of upper society, but on the other hand, he saw the empty essence of this luxurious life. Fitzgerald dropped out of Princeton University before graduating. In 1917, after the United States entered World War I, Fitzgerald also left college to enlist in the army, was awarded the rank of second lieutenant infantry, and was stationed in southern Alabama. There he met Shanda Seri, the daughter of a judge, and became engaged to her. After the end of the war, Fitzgerald was demobilized in New York after retiring from the army in 1919. He once worked as a clerk in an advertising agency with little income and living in poverty. Shanda broke off his engagement with him. Fitzgerald returned to Paul City in despair to revise behind closed doors the novel he had completed back in college. After some hard work, the work was finally published in March 1920. This was his famous work "Paradise on Earth". Fitzgerald was a blockbuster, and magazines rushed to publish his short stories. At the age of twenty-four, he became a "golden boy" in American literature. In 1921, he married Zalda. Sanerda was not only a beautiful wife to Fitzgerald, but also an important ruler of his creation and lifestyle. In many of Fitzgerald's later novels, the heroine has the appearance and personality of Shanerda. The couple's married life is as luxurious as the characters in the novel. Their lives, some say, are "cocktail parties that are hard to break up." Fitzgerald had become, psychologically and physically, a member of American society in the 1920s. But luxurious life brought Fitzgerald not only joy, but also trouble. He was immersed in the quagmire of wealth and felt spiritual emptiness and illusory about the prospects of life. The feasting banquet could fill his intestines, but it could not fill his increasingly empty soul. In 1920, Fitzgerald published a collection of short stories "The Girl and the Philosopher". In 1922,"Stories of the Jazz Age" was published, and the title of this collection of short stories later became the name of an era. The so-called "Jazz Age", in Fitzgerald's words, refers to the ten years between the end of World War I and the outbreak of the economic crisis in the 1920s. He said that this was the "most entertaining and dazzling era in the history of the United States." The younger generation found that in this era,"all gods have died, all wars have been fought, and all beliefs in man have been completely shaken." His works reflect the feelings of middle-class and petty-bourgeois youth about this era, especially their dissatisfaction with the upper bourgeoisie. For this reason, Fitzgerald is regarded as the most important spokesperson of American literature in the 1920s. His works have also been freed from the narrow proletarian circle and become part of popular literature with a social foundation; their writing skills have also made great progress than before, their ideological style has also been higher than before, and his admiration for the upper class has gradually been replaced by injustice. The short story "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz Hotel" is filled with this distinctive style. Pansy Washington, a middle school student who wrote novels, invited classmate John Ange, to his home for a vacation. Pansy revealed on the way that his father was "the richest man in the world" and had a diamond "bigger than the Rizkar Hotel" at home. John went there and found that the Washington family's house was built on a diamond mountain. The houses were all made of gold and diamonds. In addition, he also discovered that the family raised a large number of black slaves, but these black slaves did not know that slavery had been abolished. In order to strictly guard the secrets of Diamond Mountain, the Washington family has been fortified layer by layer. Entering is not easy, but getting out is even more difficult. The guests invited were also murdered during the banquet. Facing the danger of being killed, John took advantage of the opportunity of the government sending planes to scout and encircle the encirclement and escape with Pansy's two sisters. Other members of the Washingtons slipped into the hole and blew up Diamond Mountain. The author uses this fable to expose the despicable behavior of American billionaires who are arbitrary and tyrannical, and do whatever they want. It depicts that upper society is not a paradise, but a sinister, terrible and extremely decadent hell, allowing people to smell blood from money. In 1922, Fitzgerald published the novel "Beautiful Unfortunate", based on his marriage to Shanda. In the same year, the Fitzgerald couple moved to Long Island, New York. He used his new residence as the backdrop and began to write the most outstanding work of his life,"The Great Gatsby." This novel was published in 1925 and was praised and respected by critics. Soon after, the Fitzgerald family moved to Paris. There, he met many "lost generation" writers, including Hemingway, Dawes Paxos and McLeith. Fitzgerald admired Hemingway very much and helped him publish many of his early works, and the two soon became good friends. However, when Hemingway became famous and Fitzgerald fell, the friendship between the two men was interrupted. For the next two years, Fitzgerald wrote very little and spent most of the time accompanying his wife to dance halls and parties, in his own words,"doing nothing except attending a thousand parties." It was not until 1934 that he published the novel "Gentle Night". From 1926 onwards, Shanda had been mentally unstable from time to time. After being admitted to the hospital in 1934, she never came out again. Fitzgerald was busy raising money to pay for his wife's hospitalization expenses. He also developed a bad habit of drinking and couldn't extricate himself. He got into deep debt and had to write plays for Hollywood to pay off his debts. In 1940, Fitzgerald died of a heart attack at the age of 44. Fitzgerald experienced setbacks, confusion, successes and failures throughout his life, which reflected the pursuit and disillusionment of the "American Dream" from one aspect. Fitzgerald's first novel, Paradise on Earth, is an epoch-making work that describes the end of an era and the beginning of a new era. It describes the bohemian life of a group of American young people in the 1920s. These young people share a common mentality: hate and fear aging, and hope to stay in their twenties forever. Therefore, they firmly grasp the youth of their twenties, enjoy themselves to the fullest, pursue them enthusiastically and love them passionately. The protagonist of the novel, Amori, has a rich family and enjoys various privileges. He is spoiled, sentimental, and full of young people's fantasies: he wants to marry the "most beautiful girl" and reach the "peak" of society and become a "big shot". After he entered Princeton University, he fell in love with Clara, a young widow in Philadelphia, and offered to marry her, but was politely refused. Soon after, World War I broke out, and Amori went to a training camp for training. During the war, my mother died of illness, the family business collapsed, and my friends went their separate ways. After the war, Amori fell in love with her friend Alec's sister Rosalind, but she decided to marry Dawson, who was richer than Amori. Amori was disillusioned with all illusions and immersed himself in drinking all day long. Soon, on a trip to Maryland, he met a beautiful woman named Illino. There, they spent a few weeks living together and then went their separate ways. In response, Amori first cursed the girl, and later began to "hate this social system" and looked forward to a social revolution that would push himself to the peak of society. The novel is basically based on the author's life while studying at Princeton University, reflecting his admiration for the material and cultural life of upper society. The novel earned Fitzgerald the title of "Poet Laureate" of the Jazz Age. This novel reflects some of Fitzgerald's artistic characteristics: elegant and delicate style, smooth language, rigorous structure, especially the natural, realistic and personalized dialogue between the characters. There are two major characteristics in the 1920s. First, the temporary prosperity of the U.S. capitalist economy brought unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans, which gave rise to a general optimism in society. During this period of economic growth, some operators have begun to prosper. Their role models give Americans illusions about future life. The deep-rooted "American Dream"-the myth that everyone has the opportunity to get rich-has unprecedented appeal. It was precisely because of the crazy atmosphere of pursuing material success at that time that this period was known as the "noisy 1920s." Another obvious sign is the spiritual emptiness and moral depravity of Americans. As new fashions pioneered by jazz hit traditional culture, bold and debauched costumes and behaviors became fashionable, and hedonism became the goal of life. The younger generation equates material pursuits and ideal pursuits, and regards banknotes as data of success or failure in life. Unlimited material pursuits have brought spiritual decadence and moral corruption. Fitzgerald's masterpiece The Great Gatsby vividly depicts the psychology of American youth in the bankruptcy of the American dream. The novel is narrated by a young businessman named Nick Callaway, who studies the stock business in New York and lives on Long Island. He had a neighbour named Gatsby, who lived in luxury and gave parties every day, with bright lights and full guests, but he seldom showed up. He was regarded as a mysterious figure, and especially suspicious of the origin of his money. One day, Nick was invited to a banquet and was warmly received by Gatsby. It turned out that during the war, Gatsby fell in love with Nick's cousin Daisy in the south, but Daisy disliked Gatsby's poverty and did not marry him. When Gatsby returned from his expedition, Daisy married the rich playboy Tom. Tom has another lover, but Daisy is not happy. Five years later, Gatsby came back from other places after making a fortune. He held banquets every day to attract Daisy, and entertained Niak to connect the connection. Through Nick's arrangement, Gatsby and Daisy met. He hoped that Daisy would break with Tom, but Daisy would not part with Tom's family. The two had an argument, and Daisy was so nervous that she drove over Tom's mistress Martell. Gatsby is willing to take responsibility for the accident in order to protect Daisy. Martell's husband Wilson shot and killed Gatsby. When Nie held Gatsby's funeral, none of the guests from the past came, and the Tom couple did not even send a bunch of flowers, and the funeral ended in a bleak and bleak manner. Afterwards, Niak learned that Tom had secretly instigated Wilson to cause Gatsby's tragic death. Nie saw through the minds of rich people and no longer wanted to associate with the Tom couple. He left New York and returned to his hometown in the Midwest. The author condemns upper-class figures such as Tom and Daisy, and sympathizes with Gatsby, who was ambushed by the upper-class society. Through Gatsby's image, it expresses a far-reaching significance than ordinary love tragedies. In Gatsby's mind, Daisy symbolizes the beautiful aspects of American society. He spent his life dreaming of realizing a beautiful realm. But in real life, Daisy is nothing more than a vulgar, spiritually empty, and extremely selfish frivolous lady. All she thinks about all day long is,"How to have fun this afternoon?" How to enjoy tomorrow afternoon? How can I spend the past thirty years in the afternoon?" The dream that Gatsby built with his life's hard work is actually such a common thing in real life. The description of love and ideals in "The Great Gatsby" contains a faint trickle of decline between the lines, revealing the writer's sense of disillusionment with the ideals of this generation. On the one hand, the work affirms the inevitable disillusionment of Gatsby's dream, and on the other hand, it empathizes with Gatsby. The two are written in a staggered manner and set off each other, causing the reader to have complex feelings at multiple levels, arousing rich associations, and constituting an interesting artistic conception. In 1926, the novel was adapted into a screenplay and staged in New York, and was made into a movie in the late 1970s. After more than half a century of testing, it is worthy of being a unique masterpiece in American literature, both in social and artistic achievements. The material for "Gentle Night" comes from Fitzgerald and Shanda's life in Europe, especially Shanda's experience of suffering from mental illness. Dick is a young and promising American doctor who studies the principles of psychiatry in a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland. Nicole, the daughter of an American billionaire, suffers from psychosis due to her father's incest. Her father sent her to Europe for treatment. Dick married Nicole out of pity because it was the only way to cure her. After marriage, Dick spent all his energy on taking care of his wife, and his career gradually became deserted. Nicol recovered, but Dick fell into depression. Dick later had a love affair with an actress; Nicole also sought out Mi Babon for fun. In the end, Nikol divorced Dick and merged with Mi Babon. Dick felt extremely melancholy and drank wine to drown his sorrows. He returned to the United States and worked as a medical practitioner in a small town in New York State, but ultimately achieved nothing. "Gentle Night" is a story about losers. Dick's degeneration fully exposed the corrosive effect of money. He simply accused Nicol of abandoning Dick after recovering from his illness and failed to find the real reason. The selfishness, moral decay, sucking people and controlling everything in the upper class are the root cause of youth degeneration. When Fitzgerald was alive, some people praised his literary achievements, but some people believed that his works were too sentimental and superficial, and did not recognize his status as a writer. But from the beginning of the 1940s to the present, Fitzgerald has once again attracted people's attention. He is regarded as a pioneer of modern literature on a par with Hemingway and Faulkner, thus restoring his due position in the history of literature. Arthur Mizner, the famous American literary critic, once pointed out: "The materials Fitzgerald used to form his stories were American. In this regard, he is more authentic than any writer of his generation. Therefore, viewing his works simply as reflections of the acute phenomena of his time is worth reading; of course, these books contain much more than that." Artistically, Fitzgerald is good at narrating stories, and he writes many stories with simple plots to make them sad, beautiful, smooth and natural. His delicate and elegant style and sentimental and sad mood are also unique. In the 1930s, he worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood. The 1938 adaptation of "Life and Death Together" was his only film with a title in the opening title. Other major works created or adapted include "Woman","Gone with the Wind","Madame Curie","The Last Time I Saw Paris","The Beginning of a Dream", etc. In 1936, he began to write his last novel,"The Last Tycoon", which was not completed, but was still a literary masterpiece. He died on December 21, 1940 at the age of 44. His love affair with columnist Sheila was filmed into the movie "Love and Hate" in 1959.129 years ago today, September 24, 1896 (August 18, 1896 in the lunar calendar), American writer Fitzgerald was born.
