To answer question 18 about why Fitzgerald chose the title "Babylon Revisited" to be metaphoric of Paris, it is important to understand the symbolism and themes in the story. "Babylon Revisited" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that explores themes of love, wealth, and the destructive nature of excess.

Paris is often seen as a symbol of luxury and extravagance. In the story, the main character, Charlie Wales, is a recovering alcoholic who used to live a life of excess and indulgence in Paris during the 1920s. The title "Babylon Revisited" refers to the idea that Charlie's return to Paris, after having lost his wealth in the stock market crash and undergoing personal transformations, signifies a revisiting of the destructive lifestyle he once led.

By choosing the title "Babylon Revisited," Fitzgerald suggests that Paris, like the ancient city of Babylon, is built on decadence and excess, which ultimately leads to ruin. It serves as a metaphor for the dangers of pursuing a life of materialism and superficiality.
