AS 220.188: Fitzgerald in Baltimore
2.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, received psychiatric treatment in Baltimore from 1932-1936. We’ll review the transcript of a therapeutic session in which the Fitzgeralds analyzed the deterioration of their marriage with brutal honesty. We will examine Zelda’s depiction of their marriage in "Save Me the Waltz" and Fitzgerald’s counter depiction in "Tender is the Night." Having scrutinized their marriage in his two previous novels, Fitzgerald felt responsible for contributing to Zelda’s mental instability, and yet Fitzgerald continued to dissect their marriage in fiction, regardless of the consequences to Zelda. To compensate for his refusal to help cure Zelda, Fitzgerald depicted his fictional double (a doctor/husband) curing Zelda’s fictional double (a patient/wife). How does Fitzgerald explore the ethics of balancing one’s professional and personal commitments? The course includes a tour of Fitzgerald sites such as Fort McHenry.

1.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
Students in this course will study such anti-heroes as "The Watchmen's" Rorschach, as well as anti-villains, like "The Wire's" Omar, and others. We'll dig into their psychologies (and maybe our own) exploring such questions as: What makes a hero "bad," or a villain "good?" What do these characters tell us about ethics and morality? Finally, students will be invited to produce and write about their own anti-heroes and villains.

AS 220.195: Fitzgerald's Short Stories
3.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
An examination of F. Scott Fitzgerald's major short stories in the 1920s and 1930s. We'll analyze Fitzgerald's commitment to exploring the tension between two opposing intellectual movements: literary naturalism (which championed the primacy of environmental determinism) and literary realism (which championed the primacy of free will). We'll trace Fitzgerald's mercurial loyalty to each movement: his abandonment of one school of thought for the other, from one year to the next. In "May Day" he even embraced both movements equally—testimony to his belief that "the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function". Did Fitzgerald ultimately advocate one school of thought over the other? Or, did he intend simply to stage the debate between them?
