Babylon Revisited Throughout life everyone experiences heart-wrenching moments. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Babylon Revisited” a middle-aged man by the name of Charlie has faced losing a wife and is now trying to regain his child after a few years of extreme carousing. In the end, his indulgence left him with a deceased wife, no money, and a child that was put into the care of her aunt. Charlie has one major issue he has to handle and that is how to go about getting back his daughter. To begin with, Honoria was set in the care of her Aunt and Uncle after her mother died tragically. As better times bless Charlie, he decides to go to the house of Marion and Lincoln where he is greeted by warm smiles and hugs. Although it’s more from courtesy than pleasure, it’s a welcome none the least. As the hours move on Charlie finally gets the nerve to request for his precious Honoria. His first encounter with the standoffish Marion ends quite to the liking of Charlie. Keeping Honoria in mind the entire time during the spat, he keeps making mental notes of not yelling.
