Abstract
This study explores the thematic intersections of fate, spiritual decay, and the concept of amor fati in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land. Through a comparative analysis guided by the philosophical framework of amor fati, the study delves into how the characters in both works confront their destinies amidst societal disintegration and existential despair. By examining key passages and motifs, it elucidates the characters’ quests for meaning and their struggle against the forces of fate. Furthermore, the study underscores the enduring relevance of these themes in contemporary society, highlighting the timeless resonance of literature to provoke introspection about the human condition. Ultimately, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of existential themes in early 20th-century literature and their philosophical implications for individuals grappling with questions of destiny and existential meaning in the modern era.
