In the title of the story "Babylon Revisited" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Babylon is a metaphor for?
a.) The life of wealth and excess that Charlie once led in Paris
b.) The home life that Charlie wishes to provide for his daughter
c.) The stability that Charlie wishes to reestablish in his own life
d.) The stale and lifeless city that Paris has become for Charlie
I
think the answer is a. Like the
character in the story, F. Scott Fitzgerald also lost his fortune and had
problems with his family. Just like the
character, he too found himself at the bottom of the barrel and had to start
all over again.
