This thesis has explored the relationship, in terms of parallels and allusions, of the four complete and one unfinished novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald to his own life experiences. The novels used in this study area This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gat 9 Tender Is the Night, and The Last Tycoon, of which only five and one-half chapters were completed at the time of Fitzgerald's death in December, 1940. This study traced the personal exploitation and the transformation of Fitzgerald's own life experiences, relatives, and acquaintances into his fictional subject matter, characters, and settings.In addition, the thesis has discussed Fitzgerald's friendship with several of his contemporary critics and authors such as: Maxwell Perkins, his publisher; Edmund "Bunny" Wilson, and John Peale Bishop, his Princeton classmates and literary colleagues; and Ernest Hemingway, whom Fitzgerald admired greatly. The influence that these and others had on Fitzgerald's works was also revealed in this study.
