        <description><![CDATA[The themes in &quot;Babylon Revisited&quot; address the nature of human existence within the context of one's ability to change and transform your life.  Charlie must remain stable and sober, proving to the Peters that he can take care of Honoria.Charlie tries to convince the Peters that he is now a controlled drinker, one per day, something that is impossible for an alcoholic to be.  Marion has her doubts.&quot;She looked keenly at him....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Charlie, as a recovering alcoholic tries desperately to rebuild his life after his wife's death and his time in isolation. &quot;After Charlie was released from the sanitarium, he moved to Prague, Czechoslovakia, where he reestablished himself as a businessman.&quot;It is, however, challenging for a reformed drinker to return to his old life and encounter the same friends who shared his passion for alcohol and the party lifestyle. The only...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As no character is telling the story him/herself, this is 3rd person point of view.  Fitzgerald cheats a little, though.  A story in 3rd person should either be limited - through the eyes of a single character - or omniscient - through the eyes of multiple characters.  Fitzgerald does both.He mainly uses limited, gearing the narrative through Charlie's perspective.  Everything that happens is portrayed as Charlie sees it, allowing the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fitzgerald wrote “Babylon Revisited” in 1930, a time when he was reflecting on the vagaries of his own life.  Like his character, Charlie, Fitzgerald had to face the consequences of his own actions, for he, like Charlie, had drunk too much alcohol, spent money recklessly, and in general led a dissipated life while he was in Paris.  Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, by this time, was in a mental clinic in Switzerland, and he was suffering guilt...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My position is that the narrator is expressing his discomfort with the American ex-patriot community living in France.  Charlie Wales, the main character (one hesitates to call him a protagonist), lives a life of thorough excess, so much so that he has a god-complex.  Charlie, irritated that his wife after a drunken quarrel, locks her out of the house, leaving her in the snow to die of exposure.  Fitzgerald writes about the hubris of...]]></description>
