Explanation and Analysis:

Fitzgerald writes with a rich and vivid prose, making heavy use of figurative language in order to describe the wealth, beauty, and opulence of his characters and their lives. Tender is the Night is ultimately a story about the unraveling of a romance—Dick and Nicole's marriage—through romance with others, be it Dick and Rosemary or Nicole and Tommy. This tale of degeneration includes descriptions of death, decay, and misery, which contrast sharply with the luxury frequently described.
