The AuthorComparison to his charactersFitzgerald Nick GatsbyHe found himself in an era in which unrestrained materialism set the tone of society, particularly in the large cities of the East.
Like Nick, Fitzgerald saw through the glitter of the Jazz Age to the moral emptiness and hypocrisy beneath, and part of him longed for this absent moral center.
Like Gatsby, Fitzgerald was driven by his love for a woman who symbolized everything he wanted, even as she led him toward everything he despised.

The AuthorComparison to events in the storyFitzgerald Nick GatsbyHaving become a celebrity, Fitzgerald fell into a wild, reckless life-style of parties and decadence, while desperately trying to please Zelda by writing to earn money.

Gatsby amasses a great deal of wealth at a relatively young age, and devotes himself to acquiring possessions and throwing parties that he believes will enable him to win Daisy’s love.
