Tender is the night, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, takes place in the French Riviera in the 1920s. It is a sad story about a wealthy and content couple, Nicole and Dick Diver. They create various admirers, upon them a young lady named Rosemary Hoyt. She falls deeply in love with Dick, this being where the perfection of the couple begins to fall apart.
This particular novel excited many genres such as modernism, surrealism, horror/gothic fiction and romance. This classic was a literary movement of Modernism which gained a large reacting audience to World War I. The horror of war was only scoped by the imaginations of the people who had experienced it. However in Tender is the Night, the idea of literal landscape and the narrative structure itself are shattered. Romance is also a major genre due to the fact that the characters love each other to the extreme.
