Fitzgerald and Hemingway: The Lost Generation of American Writers and what They Lost

In the surging economy after the First World War, American society enjoyed a high degree of prosperity in the "roaring" of the 1920s. At the same time, the ban will make the smugglers rich and lead to an increase in organized crime. In the 1920s, groups of American writers were regarded as lost generations. The word "confused generation" was originally built by Gertrude Stein in the conversation of the foreign community in Paris in 1920. After fighting in World War I, these people returned home to find things changed.

American writers of the 1920s, known as "confused generations" brought modernism to the United States. For authors like Hemingway and Fitzgerald, World War I destroyed the illusion that action really brought profits. Like their British contemporaries, American modernists reject traditional institutions and forms. The American modernist is as follows.

As a novelist, Hemingway occupies a position often among the writers of Faulkner, Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Sinclair Lewis "Confused Generation". "These writers, including Ernest Hemingway, demonstrate the damage caused by the First World War in the social, moral and psychological fields of human life." Also, We will reveal the fear, fear, and uselessness of the existence of human beings. Indeed, Hemingway responded to the typical desires and retreats of these writers, but his work is quite different from the philosophy of their life. In his novel, you can see the metaphysical interest in the relationship between man and its nature.

Inspired by the destruction of World War I, the writers of "confused generation" have a cynical view of human nature. Fitzgerald himself is a member of a modernist who frequently encounters in Paris (Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Sinclair Lewis, painter Picasso, Matisse etc). Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in Paris, surrounded by groups of people. At the time of the novel, the United States was in the era of a huge economic boom and the stock market soaring, and it seems to be in a permanent upward trend. At the same time, many social constraints at the beginning of the 20th century were dismissed, and various progressive moves were rapidly growing.
