The Beautiful and Damned, first published by?Scribner's?in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel. It portrays the Eastern elite during the?Jazz Age, exploring New York Caf? Society. As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with?Zelda Fitzgerald. The Beautiful and Damned?tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s?socialite?and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism. The Beautiful and Damned?is at once a morality tale, a meditation on love, money and decadence, and a social document. It concerns characters' disproportionate appreciation of their past, which consumes them in the present. According to Fitzgerald critic James West, the novel is concerned with the question of vocationーwhat does one do with oneself when one has nothing to do? Fitzgerald presents Gloria as a woman whose vocation is nothing more than to catch a husband. After her marriage to Anthony, Gloria's sole vocation is to slide into indolence and alcoholism; her husband's sole vocation is to wait for his inheritance画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
