Zelda's relationship with Scott wasn't as simple as you would think. For years before everything ended they felt the spark was gone yet they couldn't be away from each other. Scott was possessive about his "material", their life. Zelda seemed fine with it for most of the time even though she wanted to pursue her own dreams. Illness came in the way and the heyday of their glorious days didn't last for long. Such a sad figure she was and what's even more sad is that she has been left in the shadow of Scott like he wanted. We may argue if she really was talented or was she just trying to imitate Scott in her literary pursuits but one thing is for sure: reading about her fate was depressing, shocking and full of bewilderment towards Scott's behaviour.
