Abstract
- The article examines F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "Head and Shoulders" and challenges the common interpretation of the story as a simple reversal of gender roles. The authors argue that the story is more complex and nuanced, and that the characters should not be reduced to stereotypes. They suggest that the references to philosophers in the story and the banter between the characters indicate a deeper meaning and potential for analysis. The article emphasizes the importance of considering historical context and challenges traditional gender roles. [Extracted from the article]
