Tender is the Night

So far, I have read the first four chapters of Tender is the Night. There are already many themes similar to The Great Gatsby. Tender is the Night is about a girl named Rosemary, a newly famous actress, who is almost 18. She and her mother seem to live an extravagant life. Fitzgerald's writing glamorizes wealth and class in the same way The Great Gatsby does. Rosemary seems to feel strangely about being famous and doesn't seem to love the attention and recognition. This presents Fitzgerald's reoccuring theme of the relationship between happiness and wealth.

Early on Fitzgerald presents a man named Dick Diver, who I assume will be Rosemary's love interest for the majority of the novel. He is married however she instantly falls in love with him. There are many hints suggesting that their relationship between the two will progress. There are also a few awkward exchanges between Rosemary and Dick's wife. I suspect there will be a similarity Rosemary and Dick will have a similar relationship to Gatsby and Daisy.
