"I love you,
And thats the
Beginning
And end
Of everything."
Ok so here's my take on it, we've been talking about clara bow but we forget about our other dear flapper girl: Zelda Fitzgerald, her glorious flapper days and her absolutely gut wretching tragic ending.
Not only did Zelda have to see Scott using inserts from her personal diaries become huge and famous quotes on Scott's books (without crediting her) but we're also talking about how a southern girl, a ballerina from a really small town who fell in love with a soldier (aspiring author) was brought to the biggest city in the world without her friends, her family, anyone familiar enough to hold her - despite Scott, who wouldve become a alcoholic writer who can't succeed withou his wife words let alone admit this for a fact. His jealousy over her writing and her naturally catching his spotlight and overshadowing him - Ending with Ernest Hemingway saying how she's the reason Scotts writing had declined, when she was the core of everything he have ever wrote.
“It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.” - Zelda for The New York Tribune.
Her soul and her life we're devoured. To this day she's portrayed as a crazy hysterical southern little girl that was always behind Scott - And not ahead of him, as she always were. Fitzgerald could never support Zelda, even though she was a carrier of many talents, a dancer, writer and painter exhaustingly discouraged by her troubled partner who couldn't see her thrive beyond him. She was trapped.
1930's - Zelda is admitted to her first psychiatric hospital
She would've allegedly be in and out of then after being diagnosed with schizophrenia, her mental health took a fallout after her dad passed away and Scott leaved her to go to Hollywood by himself. But even then, in the psychiatric hospitalbshe wrote.
To steady myself I wrote, I wrote, I wrote. — Z: SAYRE, Zelda
Zelda wrote her autobiographical novel, Save Me The Waltz. Scott would then proceed to disaprove as he was planning to use HER writing again in tender is the night, forcing Zelda to edit out the parts he wanted to be in his book - Which led to a hollow disconnected version of the book, being severely criticized, even from him, her own husband calling her a "third rate writer" and accusing her of his own crimes - plagiarism.
She tried writing again after Scott's passing, but her poor aching body was left to death as a fire bursted in her hospital, while she was waiting for shock therapy.
But let's remind her for how she lived fully, how she bled art as her veins were ink - her diaries and letters prove that. How beautifully she arranged words and how easily it flowed through her cursive letter. Let her be reminded for who she was and who she ceaselessly tried to be - despite all she was given to deal with. Despite all she was unapologetically Zelda Sayre.
