Daisy, the main character from The Great Gatsby, exemplified the traits of a flapper woman（时髦少女） from the “roaring twenties” Jazz Age.
Women‟s fashions and hairstyles were daring and revealing during the Jazz Age. Women began to express themselves. This was the early stages of the feminist movement.
Married Zelda Sayre, who exerted a strong influence on his literary career and his personal life. She was the prototype of a series of rich, beautiful women who figure prominently in his fiction.

Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age
Most critics have agreed that Fitzgerald is both an insider and an outsider of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald's fictional world is the best embodiment of the spirit of the Jazz Age, in which he shows a particular interest in the upper-class society, especially the upper-class young people.

Themes
The Decline of the American Dream in the 1920s America dream was originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. In the 1920s depicted in the novel, easy money and relaxed social values have corrupted the dream. G is ruined by an unworthy woman, just as the American dream in the 1920s is ruined by the unworthy pursuit of money and pleasure. The Gulf between the East and the West The West represents the newly rich, who are gaudy, ostentatious and vulgar (G’s ornate mansion, pink suit, Rolls-Royce), yet sincere and loyal; The East represents the old aristocracy, who are graceful, subtle and elegant (Buchanans’ tasteful home, the white dresses of Daisy and Jordan), yet careless and selfish. remind readers of Henry James’ “international theme”

• Born in St. Paul, Minnesota on September 24, 1896 • Had an expensive education in private schools at Princeton. • Due to illness and neglect of academic study, he left the university in 1917 without graduation.
Writing Style
• Although the most famous works of Fitzgerald are his novels, his short novels are also very features. In fact, during his lifetime, his short stories give him a commercial success and get him to win the general public recognition, rather than his novels. • Fitzgerald’s novels got praise of the field, but it didn’t bring significant income for him such as he hoped it would. To write short stories for popular magazines became the way to maintain his upper-class life. Therefore, Fitzgerald's short stories are generally strong entertaining. They have choicer and twisted layout, exquisite and luxuriant text and witty style. They often own O. Henry’s typical unexpected ending. If you read them, they will make you into great enjoyment.

《了不起的盖茨比》是一部关于美国梦的追寻及其幻灭的杰作。一 方面作者菲兹杰拉德在小说中写尽了爵士时代的风情与美国梦的堕落； 另一方面，他又非常崇尚主人公对梦想孜孜以求的顽强精神。盖茨比这 一形象在菲兹杰拉德笔下极具魅力，其了不起处在于他使自己的物质成 功绝对服从于自己的梦想，以及他追求自己梦想所具有的大无畏气概和 坚定不移的决心。小说的悲剧性在于：盖茨比的理想化身竟是一个“金 姑娘”。他的理想追求必须建立在物欲和金钱的基础上，而其物质成功 的基础又是那般脆弱至不堪一击。故事本身及主人公命运都是悲剧性的， 它是一个时代的寓言，也是一个把爱情建立在物质基础之上的悲剧。

菲兹杰拉德出生于美国中西部明尼苏达州一个商人家庭。 幼时家境 不佳，靠母亲方面亲戚的资助，在专为富人与贵族子弟办的学校上学。 第一次世界大战爆发后菲兹杰拉德应征入伍，他与泽尔达 ·赛瑞（Zelda Sayre）相爱并订婚。泽尔达才貌出众，向往奢华生活。菲兹杰拉德战后 曾到纽约谋职，但收入不能令他满意，他决定靠写作赢得他们未来生活 的保障。他的第一部书稿被出版商退还。泽尔达与他解除婚约。1920 年 3 月，小说《人间天堂》（This Side of Paradise）出版，菲兹杰拉德名声 雀起。两人完婚。成名后的菲兹杰拉德旋即携妻子跨入富人世界，成为 纽约和巴黎的社交名流，他甚至被冠以爵士时代“金童”的雅号。1922 年秋，他定居在纽约长岛的豪华别墅里，过着《了不起的盖茨比》中描 写的那种挥金如土的生活。他在《崩溃》（The Crack-Up，1945） 一书 中，曾坦白承认他一直不信任有钱人，自己却不停地为金钱而劳累。

The homesickness and nostalgia emotions to the southern and the awareness and helpless on the north and south of the contrast provide background and fundamental key for many of his novels. • Fitzgerald created a kind of refreshing literature feminine image in his novels. They were trendy, independent and attractive. In the other hand, they had the courage to pursue their happiness at any cost. These typical heroines in Jazz Age also became the characteristics and marks of Fitzgerald’s novels.

He died in 1940 of a heart attack.
Fitzgerald and the American Dream
• the American Dream is a popular belief that
people can achieve success, whether it is wealth, fame or love through honest hard working in a new world of liberty, equality, chances and promises. Fitzgerald's fictions often deal with the bankruptcy of the American Dream, which is highlighted by the disillusionment of the protagonists' personal dreams due to the clashes between their romantic vision of life and the sordid reality.
Life and career
• Married Zelda Sayre, who exerted a strong influence on his literary career and his personal life. She was the prototype of a series of rich, beautiful women who figure prominently in his fiction. • The young couple frequently went abroad and lived extravagantly a luxurious life.
Fitzgerald and the American Dream
• Fitzgerald„s own life was a mirror of the 1920s. He was the victim of his “American Dream.” He was fascinated with material wealth on one hand by writing hard to accumulate wealth to live an extravagant(铺张的) life, yet was bewildered(使 迷惑) with the wealth on the other, fully aware of the underlying spiritual disorientation and moral decay. Finally in his life, alcoholism, loneliness and despair combined to ruin him.
Writing Style
• Fitzgerald is considered as a great stylist in American literature. His style, closely related to his themes, is explicit and chilly. His accurate dialogues, his careful observation of mannerism, styles, models and attitudes provide the reader with a vivid sense of reality. He used the scenic method in his chapters, each one of which consists of one or more dramatic scenes, sometimes with intervening passages of narration, leaving the tedious process of transition to the readers„ imagination. • Fitzgerald„s prose is smooth, sensitive, and completely original in its diction and metaphors.
