Scott Fitzgerald’s popular novels, which I read throughout my summer vacation. Both of these novels have a similar setting and many of the characters in both plots are similar in several ways.

one marriage in ten ended in divorce; nowadays the figure is more than one in three (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1996: p.45). A consequence of this change has been a substantial increase in the number of single parent families and the attendant problems that this brings (Kilmartin, 1997).
