Question

what was ironic about fitzgeralds goals in life? he wanted to be famous for his work, but that didnt happen until after he died. he only wanted to meet the love of his life, but only ever had empty relationships. he only ever wanted to be rich and famous, but he made enough to make him fabulously wealthy. he wanted to write the great american novel, but the great gatsby isnt very good.

Explanation:

To determine the ironic aspect of Fitzgerald's life goals, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Fitzgerald aimed for fame during his lifetime for his literary work, but he gained significant recognition posthumously. This is ironic as his goal of being famous for his work was not achieved while he was alive.
• Option 2: Fitzgerald had relationships (e.g., with Zelda), so the claim of only having empty relationships is incorrect.
• Option 3: Fitzgerald faced financial struggles and was not fabulously wealthy, so this option is factually wrong.
• Option 4: "The Great Gatsby" is widely regarded as a great American novel, so this statement is incorrect.

Answer:

A. He wanted to be famous for his work, but that didn't happen until after he died.
