amongst1 A Brief Introduction to The Great Gatsby
Francis Scott Fitzgerald was considered as one of the most well known writers in America at an era that he named “the Jazz Age”. During the twenty years of his writing, he published about one hundred short stories and four long novels including This side of Paradi, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Great Gatsby. In addition, before he died, he left an uncompleted novel, The Last Tycoon. “His books have been considered by as many a symbol for the ‘Jazz Age,’ a time of extraordinary wealth and promi, but Fitzgerald’s novels are much more than that, prenting the truth behind the twenties and creating an atmosphere, which has earned a permanent place in American literature. Fitzgerald’s novels work on many different levels, giving us unforgettable characters and events on one, as well as referring to the problems of American wealth and spirituality on another.”(Millett, 2005) Written in 1925, The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest literary works of this period and one of the classics in American literature, which reveals the moral emptiness and hypocrisy under the prosperity of the Jazz Age. When the book was published, it became famous among the public, becau the author criticizes the thought of extreme individualism in the contemporary American society. “This thought is like drugs in the society; poisonous and irresi
stible. It urges the growth of lfishness of human being.”(Wu Jianguo, 2002:188) Fitzgerald us his pen to reveal the life and the ideas of people after the First World War and introduces one kind of valuable spirit. The American dream of happiness and individualism has fallen into the mere pursuit of wealth. Many experiences in Fitzgerald’s early life appear in this famous novel. It is proved to be the most successful and mature one of Fitzgerald's novels. In it, Fitzgerald prents the ri and fall of Jay Gatsby, skillfully choosing a first-person narrator, Nick Carraway’s perspective. The famous poet, T.S.Eliot points out that The Great Gatsby has been the first progress made in the American novel since Henry James.
生活大爆炸 第五季 下载2 Tragic Jay Gatsby
Jay Gatsby, a typical upstart after the First World War, is a nsitive young man who idolizes wealth and luxury. He falls in love with Daisy, a beautiful and charming woman, when he stations at a military camp near her home, but later she marries another man. The protagonist orders his life around for the desire to be reunited with Daisy. His arch for the American dream leads him from poverty to wealth, into the arms of his beloved and eventually, to his death. He is attracted by Daisy’s grace and charm, but blinds her shortcomings. Gatsby reveals himlf to be an innocent hopeful young man who stakes everything on his dreams, without the realization that his dreams are unwort
hy. “He gives Daisy an idealistic perfection that she cannot posss in reality.”(Rubinstein, 1998:305) He takes it for granted that he would win Daisy back if he becomes rich. Therefore he “became rich through bootlegging and other criminal activities.”(Hu Yintong, 1995:369)) He holds his opulent parties weekly to draw Daisy’s attention. He tries his best to gain the favor of her by arranging such fabulous entertainment.
十天学会abcTo some extent, Gatsby is naive and stupid for he never es Daisy in her true colors just as he never es the green light clearly. Though he never stops loving and has taken the hou in West Egg to be near her, he never realizes that he can’t come back to the old warm world. It is easy to find that throughout his courtship of Daisy, Gatsby is always in a position of less power and lower social status. Becau Gatsby has idolized her, Daisy will necessarily not live up to his expectation. The reader may find out the contradiction in Gatsby’s personality after reading the novel. On one hand, Gatsby is innocent and naive in his heart for he sticks to his goal and dedicates himlf to achieve his destination, but he never realizes that it is actually unreal. He shows his loyalty to his beloved and dares no effort to make his dream come into true. However, on the other hand, he owns money by all means including illegal ones and he is indifferent to the death of Myrtle Wilson, the superficial wife of a garage man called George Wilson. Just as the novel mentions, “he spoke as if Daisy’s reac
tion was the only thing that mattered.” (Fitzgerald, 2001: 192) Gatsby is nimble and ambitious in making money, which shows the “sagacity” of modern people, but towards love he gives us the impression of “a naive young man.”
