"Babylon Revisited" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

PROMPT. When you finish reading "Babylon Revisited," what do you think: are we supposed to be on Marion's side, or Charlie's side?

To what degree can we be sympathetic to Charlie? To Marion?

Do you think he would make a good father, based on your reading of the story?

Did you find yourself rooting for him to get his daughter back?

Does Charlie deserve what he gets?

At the end of the story, is he optimistic? Is the author? Should the reader be?
