Evil in the Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe
Abstract
The following essay is the result of a three-month study of the
works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. Little use has been
made of secondary materials in order that the study might be the
thoughts of one student.
I have concentrated on relating incidents and mentions of evil
in the writings of each author in order to offer the reader evidence
that each man did have a concept of evil and that this concept was
important in his world-view. The conclusions I have drawn in the
following pages are my reactions to this evidence, but these same
conclusions are not a final statement on this subject or on the
authors themselves.
