The Night is Kind

In Tender Night, Fitzgerald reveals the false and corrosive relationships of the Jazz Age. Dick, a young and successful doctor, is attracted to the glamorous atmosphere created by the "Jazz Age" at the peak of his career. His marriage to Nicole, whom he protects with great efforts, is damaged by the persistent attention of a young and beautiful actress named Rosemary. Dick, who tries to leave Rosemary behind and fix his marriage, finds himself in a bad situation, unable to overcome the destruction caused by the people around him. In order to get rid of the mood he is in, the successful doctor looks for a solution in the magic of sparkling life. He has now found a place at the highest levels of society, but this time he has turned into a man who has lost all his ideals and hopes.Fitzgerald offers a critique of the illusion created by the high bourgeois life and ostentatious parties of the 1920s, through the lives of Nicole and Dick, who hold on to each other in the shadow of the war. "Fitzgerald's talent was as natural as the mark left by a butterfly's wings in the sand."
-Ernest Hemingway-
