Life in Paris:
Zelda lived in Paris with her husband on two occasions. Once for financial reasons and the other for becoming a prima ballerina. She became competitive with all of the artistic talent in France, including her husband. Besides being competitive with her husband, Zelda was also a huge influence on his work; he used her words and used her characteristics in his characters. This changed when she had an affair with a French aviator, and Zelda and husband's marriage was strained. In 1930, she had a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia.,
