Removing examples that are already on pages of Fitzgerald's works and commented out a couple ZCEs


* TheBeautifulElite: ''Literature/TheBeautifulAndDamned'' starts out with this in play until the main couple's awful life choices start catching up with them.
* BreakfastInBed: The main character of ''This Side of Paradise'', Amory, grew up spoiled by his mother who literally ''forbade'' him to get out of bed too early, while their servant brought him breakfast. Probably as a result of this, his appendix burst when he was thirteen, and he had to be operated.
-->Dear, don’t ''think'' of getting out of bed yet. I’ve always suspected that early rising in early life makes one nervous. Clothilde is having your breakfast brought up.



* DotingParent: Beatrice to Amory, ''This Side of Paradise.''
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Amory Blaine, the protagonist of ''This Side of Paradise'', dislikes math and science, and prefers studying literature and history. His mentor Thayer Darcy is similarly not a fan of math.

Fitzgerald was born in Minnesota. He [[TheAlcoholic liked to drink]] and party and wrote his novels in order to support that lifestyle for his wife. The materialistic and hedonistic tendencies of his peers are reflected in his works, as is plenty of angst about the appropriateness of all that partying after UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. While courting his future wife, Zelda, he completed his first novel ''This Side of Paradise''. The works that followed were a river of short stories, ''Literature/TheBeautifulAndDamned'', ''Literature/TenderIsTheNight'', ''The Love of the Last Tycoon'', and his most famous work, ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby.''
