Description
This thesis explores the initiation theme as it relates to
F. Scott Fitzgerald's work. The Basil Duke Lee series which involves
the learning experiences between the ages of eleven and seventeen
serves as a point of comparison with other fiction by Fitzgerald.
Basil Lee's response to initiation is compared and contrasted with
masculine protagonists like Anson Hunter, Anthony Patch, Jay Gatsby,
Nick Carraway and Dick Diver and with feminine characters like
Josephine Perry. A study is made to rate the success of each
initiation and to determine the elements which are required for a
satisfactory initiation.
