Fitzgerald And The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby. The connections between Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and his literary work, The Great Gatsby, are very distinct. In one of Fitzgerald’s most accomplished works, The Great Gatsby, he almost completely gives an analysis of his personal life. The Great Gatsby embodies much of Fitzgerald’s own life experiences. The Great Gatsby parallels settings, characters, and even specific events of Fitzgerald’s life. First, Fitzgerald’s choice in settings for his literary work The Great Gatsby was influenced greatly by his own observations. The time setting for The Great Gatsby is set during the Jazz Age (the nineteen twenties) also known as the Roaring Twenties. Hudson Gevaert, author of The Great Gatsby: A Beginner’s Guide, states that the twenties were called the Roaring Twenties because the economy was through the roof and people were at a perpetual state of partying. Moreover, there was a sudden rise in newfound materialism where individuals would spend and consume at unprecedented levels (SparkNotes 13). In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby entertained luxurious parties open to the public (Anderson #). Gatsby’s parties would last from sunset to sunrise. Gatsby’s quests would range from politicians to movie stars. gatsby, fitzgerald, great, fitzgerald’s, daisy, jay, zelda, very, parties, life, nick, own, young, experiences, characters, work, wife, school, buchanan, writing, while, twenties, served, scott, military, met, man, luxurious, love, lifestyle, gatsby’s, gain, francis, between, before
