Literature Review As a famous classic novel, The Great Gatsby has aroud wide attention and fervent discussion with a great diversity of critical perspectives applied to analyze it since its publication. T. S. Eliot prais it to be "the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James." And Richard Culler comments that "The Great Gatsby has become so much a fact of American literature，so much a permanent prence, a persistent influence that it is almost impossible to imagine contemporary American fiction without Jay Gatsby. No other figure in our literature has become so eponymous". Robert Ornstein also speaks highly of it by remarking that "Fitzgerald did create a myth with the imagination sweep of America's historical adventure across an untamed continent". Chang Yaoxin, a famous Chine professor also thinks that "Fitzgerald found intuitively, in his personal experience, the embodiment of that of the nation and created a myth out of American life". Of cour, there are also some disapproving opinions on the novel. For instance, H.L. Mencken criticizes the hero Gatsby in the novel thinking that he is too disputable to be a literary protagonist. Many other critics also hold disagreeable perspectives on both Fitzgerald and Gatsby’s life style of "lf-indulgence" and Fitzgerald’s commercial intention which leads to a complete ruin of his writing talents. Baumgarten also comments the novel that "it was dropped from the modern library becau I failed to ll". While all in all, the favorable views exceed tho oppod ones and its profound significance can not be neglected. For so many years, lots of critics from different fields have made enormous studies on this novel and come to their own distinct conclusions by focusing on different aspects. A majority of the critics deal with the analysis of the novel’s themes, practically the theme of American dream. Maybe a very early influential study on the novel is Marius Bewley's Scott Fitzgerald's Criticism of America. It is a significant review article mainly dealing with the novel from the point of the American experience and the American Dream. Marius Bewley says that," The Great Gatsby is an exploration of the American dream as it exits in a he esnce of the American dream who tragedy Gatsby is enacting is that it lives in a past and a future that never exists, and is helpless in the prent that does". Mary Jo Tate also thinks that the novel's significance lies in its quest of the American dream. Robert Ornstein takes this novel for a drama which depicts the corruption of American Dream in a collapd society. In China, there are also many critics paying attention to the same theme in the novel. For example, Diao Keli remarks that the theme of it is the pursuit of American dream and the dertion of American dream. Wang Yujuan also makes a comment that the dream of Gatsby is also the dream of all typical Americans, while the defeat of Gatsby is in fact also the loss of all Americans. Zhang Lilong, as a Chine celebrated scholar of American literature, says that The Great Gatsby is actually a recall and summary of the changing process of the American Dream. Besides the American Dream, the themes involving love, money, materialism are also discusd. Many articles concentrate on its themes. The example can be displayed by the collection of critical essays about Scott Fitzgerald: The Promi of Life compiled by Robert Lee including Roger Lewis's Money, Love and Aspiration in The Great Gatsby and Susan Resneck Pan's The Idea of Order at West Egg which indicates the themes through the text. The comprehensive analysis of the themes about the novel has offered helpful foundation for many critical discussions. What is more, many other sides about the novel including its structure, language style, narrative techniques are also explored. Susan Resneck Parr commends Fitzgerald for his delicate structure with paying attention to every detail and creatively linking the past and the current life together. George Garrett celebrates the novel’s peculiar dialogues and monologues in his Fire and Freshness: A Matter of Style. The unique narrative techniques are also drawn attention, especially the narrative point of view. David Seed thinks highly of this technique for the prentation of Nick Carraway who plays an important part in prenting and judging every characters and everything. Then reviewers also conduct a study of the novel from .feminist perspective. L.A. Field has a deep discussion about the x in the novel and analys it from feminist point of view. P.G. Slater also argues against the former attitudes towards Daisy who is traditionally thought to be a material and hollow lady. Meanwhile, others explore Gatsby from psychological point of view. Afterwards, some new critical theories and methods including post-modernism, new historicism, and cultural criticism are employed to study the novel. The outstanding critics in this field are B. Brecht and M. Bakhtin. Myth-archetypal criticism is also applied to the novel by analyzing the archetypal motifs in order to tell the myths and hidden archetypes of the novel. Moreover, the Western Marxist Criticism is adopted to analyze the novel by many people. Professor Dong Hengxun suggests that it is beneficial to analyze Fitzgerald and his works from Western Marxist perspectives. But the conclusion drawn from this perspective is more likely to associate with politics. Another obbligato analysis of the novel is symbolism perfectly employed in the novel by Fitzgerald. As a matter of matter, symbols such as the valley of ashes, Dr. T. J. Eckleburg's eyes, Gatsby’s mansion, the colors of green, yellow, white, and some actions, clos are discusd frequently by the rearchers. But many of the symbolic analysis are not all-inclusive and parate from other aspects. So in this thesis, the intention is to have a systematic exploration of symbolism in the novel by analyzing the most reprentative symbols in detail as well as associating them with the themes of the novel thus having a further track of the corrupt American dream and the immortal society in the Jazz Age. |
