AB Scott Fitzgerald's fiction interweaves the expression of romantic desire with the representation of the urban space. This B. A. Thesis analyzes the novel The Beautiful and Damned through the lens of New York City, aiming to demonstrate the major role that is conferred to the metropolis in shaping the narrative. The analysis of the various evocations of the city that appear throughout the text reveals how the author, by means of the narrative voice, manages to depict the ravages of a modern urban world while reflecting his attitude towards the city, thus shedding light on matters of both his personal life and his work, and turning his second novel into an illuminating account of the deceptive condition that characterized the early twentieth-century American city.
