The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The youthful words of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button combine here to create a gracefully aged image. This crafted art piece shows the profile of the strange and mysterious individual named Benjamin Button – the man who ages in reverse. To the left is Benjamin as a boy, with balding hair, thick spectacles for his old and weary eyes, and the hoary features of an elderly man. In the center, Benjamin’s appearance coalesces perfectly with his age as he experiences the nimble jolt of the mid-life phase. And finally to the right, this literary portrait shows Benjamin reaching the dusk of his life as his features melt into those of a chubby, young child, but his mind follows a very different path towards old age and death. In all three profiles, the strong chin and sturdy nose remain true as if expressing the dignity found in a life lived largely, even if he has lived it differently.

As one of Fitzgerald’s most widely read short stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has withstood the test of time and remained a favorite amongst literature lovers. With a boundless mystique, this literary print stops time and leaves behind a lasting image which never grows old.
