Discerning Dysfunction: Economics and Family in the Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway

Where is the importance in uncovering a link between the economic position and level of familial dysfunction in the short stories of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald? Furthermore, in composing these findings, what does this information have to offer in terms of bringing different insights to the works of

these two writers who have already received so much attention from critics? In reading and researching the short stories of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, I find that published criticism has not sufficiently examined the connection between

economic position and familial dysfunction. Trying to understand the psychology

behind the characters’ lives and their consequential actions, however, requires

us to look at this connection. One can articulate the effects and results that

economic circumstances have in relation to the characters’ familial duties and

responsibilities. / Thesis / Master
