"The Beautiful and Damned" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel written during the early 20th century, capturing the essence of the Jazz Age. The story revolves around Anthony Patch, a young man caught in the throes of privilege and disillusionment as he navigates the complexities of wealth, identity, and relationships within New York City's social elite. At the start of the novel, we meet Anthony Patch, a 25-year-old heir grappling with his self-image and societal expectations. The opening delves into his family background, revealing his affluent grandfather Adam Patch, a former cavalry officer turned wealthy reformer, and his own sense of inadequacy and existential angst. Anthony's reflections on his life and the pressure to achieve something of significance set the tone for his encounters with friends and potential love interests. The narrative intricately weaves Anthony's experiences, his ambivalence towards societal norms, and a rising feeling of malaise as he contemplates his future.
