The novel “Tender Is the Night” is one of the most prominent works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. He described his hero Dick as a smart, talented and a person full of spiritual richness, but who was unable to prevent himself from moral degradation. Doctor’s tragedy is not only personal, but also social. The American son of a clergyman who is on the way to becoming a renowned psychologist when he falls in love with Nicole and marries her. Dick is extraordinarily charismatic and graceful at the start of the novel, but eventually falls to his ruin.
