F. Scott Fitzgerald was best known in the 1920’s for writing The Great Gatsby. He was important to the time period because he criticized the way rich people lived. He also called attention to the excesses of the time period and wealthy society, but he was a part of it. He was a drunk and eventually left his wife. He wrote many other books including The Beautiful and Damned. He relates to theme 6, “The magnitude of me.” He knew that the selfishness of the 1920’s was shallow and useless. He knew that it could end in ruin, just like he did.
