Winter Dreams, by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a classic love story. It includes all of the stereotypical parts and moments we've come to expect from years of watching movies and from television.

Every love story has a hero, the one person we route for and believe is the good guy. The hero will usually come from a poor family or has a set back of some sort keeping him from the heroine. In Winter Dreams, our hero is Dexter Green, son of the owner of the second best grocery store in Black Bear. As we find out Dexter is a caddie to the more wealthy men we immediately know his social standing. The typical good mannered young boy who dreams of one day being wealthy enough to have his own caddie, and expectedly falls in love with a more wealthy and beautiful girl who all the men urn for.
