Fitzgerald’s descriptions of characters and scenes are very specific. He his more of a superficial writer. He often gives more importance to describing specific details than to explaining the overall situation. This is in part why his novels are so enjoyable. The fact that he gives so much importance to describing the environment and the mood, but does not insist too much on sharing his point of view. He simply allows the readers to make an opinion for themselves.

This picture is taking from the last movie made about the Great Gatsby. It illustrates well how Fitzgerald describes his scenes. He would go into details to describe the heavy decorated room his characters found themselves. Also he would describe people’ s character by describing how they dressed and behave. The women in front is a great representation of that.
