Tender is the Night, and Haply the Queen Moon is On Her Throne

I have chosen to write about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night. I was originally drawn to it because of how much I enjoyed Great Gatsby, and although the tone of Tender is the Night is vastly different, I enjoyed it for many of the same reasons.

As of now, I have completed reading the book, but will continue to re-read sections that are relevant to my paper’s topic. The topic of my paper will be F. Scott Fitzgerald’s view on the American Dream and how the events of his life led to his disillusionment with the whole idea of this American ideal. Since the book is largely autobiographical, I will compare sections of the book which relate the disillusionment with the ideas of material success and love to happenings in Fitzgerald’s life that perhaps altered his view on such topics.

I am a few pages into my preliminary draft at the moment, and I feel that I am making good progress towards attaining an excellent argument for my thesis.

PS, my apologies for the belatedness of this posting.
