Fitzgerald was an important writer who changed the typical American dream into a nightmare.
World War I caused writers to change their views from progress and putting boundless faith in human potential to modernism. Sigmund Freud said that human behavior is caused by desire. There was a generation when writers were inspired to look for new truths and new ways to show them. This generation was called the “Lost Generation”. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote “This Side of Paradise” and “The Great Gatsby”, which turned the American dream into a nightmare. Ernest Hemingway felt betrayed of the American dream and the literary language. He created a writing style that reflected his insights. The style of painting changed from real life styles to abstract styles.
