Tom is the overman and Nick is the whiny lastman. Gatsby... well... let's just say he's lovesick

Childhood is siding with Nietzsche
Adulthood is realising Christianity was right all along

Childhood is thinking that The Great Gatsby is profound and artistic. Adulthood is realizing that Tender is the Night is the his real masterwork.

Childhood is siding with Gatsby.
Adolescence is siding with Tom.
Adulthood is pitying both.

Childhood is liking The Great Gatsby because it's a sad love story that perfectly captures a certain period in American history.
Adulthood is realizing Tender is the Night is a thinly veiled memoir with little creative merit.
Retirement is recalling how The Great Gatsby named the jew.
