F Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald once said "Mostly we authors must repeat ourselves–that's the truth. We have two or three experiences in our lives– experiences so great and moving that it doesn't seem at the time that anyone else has been so caught up" (de Koster n. pag.). Fitzgerald's works contain many themes that are based from experiences in his life. Many of these experiences he talks about were with the women in his life. …

…was dealing with more and more because of Zelda's problems. The fact that F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing was affected greatly by people in his life is apparent. Women like his mother, Ginerva King, and Zelda Sayre all greatly influenced his writing. The characters and themes based on these women reveal themselves many times in his works. Without the influence of his mother, Ginerva, and Zelda, Fitzgerald would not be the distinguished author he is today.
