        <description><![CDATA[I would say it climaxes when Anthony snaps, throwing the chair at Dot.  His behavior, while slowly growing increasingly erratic throughout the novel, takes a truly desperate plunge near the end as he starts drinking hopelessly, loses his friends, grows violent, etc.  Just three pages from the novel's end (446), Fitzgerald narrates, &quot;...then a thick, impenetrable darkness came down upon him and blotted out thought, rage, and madness...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the best answer to this question is rather to suggest that the novel does not have a climax at all. Fitzgerald, in his portrait of decadence and dissipation, gradually diminishes Anthony and Gloria's lives until there is little left. Their fall from grace is not glamorous or dramatic like their former lives; it instead shows them dissolving into rootless and pathetic figures. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The work that signaled Fitzgerald's maturity as a storyteller and novelist, The Beautiful and Damned is a devastating portrait of the excesses of the Jazz Age.  The Beautiful and the Damned is a scathing chronicle of a dying marriage and a hedonistic society where beauty is all too fleeting. The title refers to the protagonists and ultimately to Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda, who, in living the “good life” of too many parties and too much...]]></description>
