Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway and the second one is F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby.
I will pay attention just to the analysis of Fitzgeralds work.
Beidler describes Jay Gatsby as a man who suffers from the war-related mental
disorder. He tries to explain how this shell-shock influences Gatsbys behaviour and his
ability to cope with the changes of society and the changes of his love - Daisy Buchanan.
This source is relevant for me because it describes the relations during the post war period and
it analysis Gatsbys behaviour, dreams and goals influenced by war experience.
