This novel is concerned with a modern industrial society that created a new culture that broke the tradition; one of the elements of this culture is the emergence of anxiety.

Amory Blaine faced anxiety in his early mature life as a part of the World War I aftermath. At the exact moment, many old American values should be broken. Using Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis theory, it was found that This Side of Paradise was the expression of the author’s anxiety, Fitzgerald, when experiencing his self-acceptance. Anxiety is the main theme of this novel, besides the breaking tradition. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method that shows anxiety as a specific psychological disease in the modern industrial era, which correlates to the progress of industrial activities.
