Francis Scott Fitzgerald is a representative of the Legendary Jazz Age artfully depicted in his works. «The Great Gatsby» novel answers whether fulfillment of the American dream always makes a person happy, and a short novel «The Popular Girl» is a variation of the Cinderella story where the protagonist faces an issue: is money important when love storms into her life?

The characters of both works are trying to overcome difficulties, reach mutual understanding and solve conflicts while looking for their own way of life. The author immerses deeply in their psychology, reflects the slightest mood alterations, and strives to depict all the acuteness of their feelings.
