Zelda sayre fitzgerald's autobiographical novel

Abstract

This article aims to analyze Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald's novel Save Me the Waltz (1932) as an autobiographical novel, considering the similarities between the author's biographical data and de main character's construction, Alabama Beggs. The discussion presented proposes to analyze to what extend the paths of both Zelda and Alabama intertwine considering gender oppression in social practices. The analyses have as theoretical basis authors such as Philippe Lejeune (2014), Eurídice Figueiredo (2013) and Elaine Showalter (1986).
