F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century.
He was born in the Midwest and began writing at a relatively young age. He fell in love in his twenties, but his romantic interest would not be convinced to marry him until he achieved financial success. Only after he gained fame and fortune did she agree. He lived a life of extravagance and died quite young at the age of 44. Some critics assert that Fitzgerald included many autobiographical elements in many of his works, including The Great Gatsby. A great deal of the adulterous and scandalous behavior described in The Great Gatsby was reflective
of Fitzgerald’s personal life at the time in which he wrote the novel. Fitzgerald
was living lavishly, throwing parties and indulging frequently with his wife,
Zelda, who was also involved with another man. This, in addition to F.
Scott’s flirtatious conduct with women, put pressure on their relationship; it can
be seen in the novel through Tom and Daisy Buchanan, as Daisy begins
getting to know Gatsby
