Abstract
This Side of Paradise is one of the best novels of 1920's or post war era when America was troubled and confused. The `sad young man' (Horton and Edward 315), a term for the intellectuals of the era who had lost their faith and wanted the world to know. As a sad young man and a post war writer, Fitzgerald found fault with his society especially the new generation or the youth of America.
This Side of Paradise is telling about the complexity in searching one's identity influenced by the socio-cultural and economic condition of which a young American lived in 1920's era or jazz age. Fitzgerald uses Amory Blaine as the representative, the model, and the hero of American youth of the era.
