The Theme of Marriage in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Prose

Summary/Abstract: Fitzgerald is the author of many short stories and five novels, heavily infused with autobiographicalelements. The characters created by the writer often resemble himself or his wife Zelda, and notunfrequently the events depicted mirror documented episodes from their lives. In this article,I present the recurring theme of marriage in the writer’s works, appearing in various forms inboth his short and long prose. I also highlight the vagueness of literary terms such as theme,motif, plot, and character, which often intersect and do not always allow for clear differentiation.
