Annotation
Explores the male protagonists’ struggle with economic identity in The Sun Also Rises and Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” and The Great Gatsby (1925), contending that Jake Barnes, Dexter Green, and Jay Gatsby are motivated to rise economically by beautiful and ultimately unattainable women. Identifies the modernist landscape of the 1920s as the contextual culprit, affecting the bleak end of all three characters.
