Beautiful and Cursed
by (u. S.) Francis Scott Fitzgerald
About This Novel
The work "The Beautiful and the Cursed" is like the writer's fatalistic prophecy, foreseeing loneliness in its splendor, with fresh words and a sad tone. The protagonist Anthony finally achieves nothing in his comfortable life of wine and beauty, and his external beauty becomes an evil curse. "The Beautiful and the Damned" is a mirror. The writer's autobiography is very rich, but comparing the story of Anthony and Gloria to the writer's life is obviously too superficial. Fitzgerald created from the depths of his soul, just like the cuckoo cries blood. He was a witness to the 1920s, but also deliberately maintained an aesthetic distance from the 1920s. Therefore, he was able to transcend the limitations of the times, perfectly combine intimacy and alienation, and truly depict the various aspects of human nature in the era.
