The short story “The Smilers” by F. Scott Fitzgerald dedicated to exploring the feeling of pessimism.
According to the author, even if people smile, they could have hidden troubles. But the author doesn’t advise us to see the world with optimism. Fitzgerald also doesn't criticize pessimists. Maybe he leads readers to the conclusion that the circumstances are more complicated that we can see on the surface.
