Produced by Curtis A. Weyant "Flappers and Philosophers" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century, during the Jazz Age. The stories focus on the emerging youth culture of the 1920s, illustrating the lives and attitudes of the new generation, particularly flappers and their insatiable appetite for excitement, love, and freedom. Central characters like Ardita Farnam emerge prominently, embodying a spirit of rebellion and desire for independence against societal expectations. The opening of "Flappers and Philosophers" introduces us to Ardita Farnam, a young woman lounging on a yacht, sipping on lemon, and dismissing her uncle's stern admonitions about her reckless romantic pursuits. Their conversation reflects a clash between generations, with Ardita asserting her independence and determination to make her own choices. As she insists on heading to Palm Beach rather than compromise her adventurous spirit for a dinner with Colonel Moreland, the scene sets the tone for her character's journey through love, rebellion, and societal constraints. The dynamic between her and her uncle hints at deeper conflicts concerning youth, freedom, and the effects of societal norms, leaving readers intrigued about how these tensions may unfold in the stories that follow.
