Wai Chee Dimock, professor of English and American Studies at Yale, concludes her lecture on Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night for the course Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner. She opens with a biographical account of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald's mental illness as the model for Nicole Diver, then applies the novel's have and have-not schema to its characters. Dimock traces how Fitzgerald borrows cinematic techniques, close-up and cross-cutting, to accelerate Dick Diver's narrative of dispossession, stripping him of his professional identity by the novel's end. She also addresses racialization in the text and the way World War I intrudes on the Divers' marriage. The lecture is organized into chapters covering Rosemary and Dick as actors, the speed of the novel's negative resolution, and the war's presence in the story, closing out Yale's Open Course on these three American modernists.
