        <description><![CDATA[On some level the story expresses Fitzgerald's own fascination with Southern women, and the Northern men like himself who fall in love with them. Because this story is more or less from Sally Carroll's point of view, Fitzgerald imagines this romantic equation from the female (and Southern) perspectives, the opposite of his own experience. Despite Sally Carroll's inability to fully adjust to life in a cold climate, Fitzgerald does make it seem...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the above points made are very strong.  I also think that Fitzgerald might be suggesting that the sophisticated world of social manners involves a different set of standards for women.  It is interesting to witness that in the story, when Bernice wants to become attractive, Marjorie gives her a cosmetic makeover and demands change to be more appealing to men.  There are some definite strands of "Pygmalion" in reverse here.  Men...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This short story by Fitzgerald is a parody of the social moeurs of the rising social class in the New England states more than anything else. The author intentionally makes his characters rather ridiculous when such banal decisions as what to wear to a party and how to wear one's hair take on giagantic proportions.
Remember that Fitzgerald, issue of the upper class, was disgruntled with the superficiality of values of the nouveau riche and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The LA times had an article--they said Fitzgerald had read a remark by Mark Twain--that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.  This inspired Fitzgerald to write his one fantasy story.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fitzgerald shows us many things about belonging in this short story.He starts by showing us Clark Darrow. He's got money and a college education, and could be doing something with his life. Instead, he's spent years &quot;dozing round the lazy streets of his home town.&quot;  When he thinks Sally Carrol is engaged, he uses a regional appeal against it (don't marry a Yankee). Sally feels the past deeply, and clearly wants the past of the South...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fitzgerald represents his relationship with his wife, Zelda, through the characters of Sally Carrol-who is a southerner, and Harry-who is a northerner. Zelda was a southerner and Fitzgerald was a northerner in real life. The representation of the clash of the two geographical areas represent his own experiences and attitudes.The main theme is that of a cultural conflict. Sally Carrol and Harry are engaged, yet both have a hatred for the area...]]></description>
