The theme of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the representative writer of the twenties, is believed to be love and wealth in the lost generation generally. But this dissertation is aimed to study the characters' search for the identity except the general themes of love and wealth through Fitzgerald's four major novels-This Side of the Paradise, The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night and Th Lust Tycoon. The problem of the influence of nineteenth century of 'self-made' man and the effect of twentieth century psychologies of the self would be studied in chapter I, and in chapter II the type of identity through Amory Blaine and other young idealist would be studied. In chapter III the manner in which the hero's dreams of an ideal self through Jay Gatsby and Daisy Fay and in chapter IV Dick Diver's self-destructive search for an identity would be studied together. In chapter V the final answer to Fitzgerald's longtime search for an identity is analyzed and concluded through a brief discussion of Monroe Stahr, the hero of the unfinished novel- The Last Tycoon.
