盖茨比中的象征

One color that was used frequently was white.The first time Nick meets his cousin Daisy at Tom’and Daisy’s home, she was dressed totally in white. So as the house and its furnishings are also turned in light shades. This fact might be interpreted as beauty, cleanliness, wealth, innocence. Daisy’s color is white, she wears white dresses and recalls her “white girlhood” and this use of color helps her to characterize her as the unattainable “enchanted princess”who becomes personified as Gatsby’dream. The use of white, in reference to Daisy’wardrobe also symbolizes her laziness and uselessness within the story. She is completely devoid of any knowledge of the outside world. Something I found quite apparent was her obviously shallow, money grubbing motives. For example, when she is taken into Gatsby’s home for a t our, she is shown Gatsby’s beau tiful imported shirts. Daisy begins to cry, saying that these shirts are so beautiful. But what she is really expressing is her envy and jealousy of Gatsby’s new riches and all of his elaborate material possessions.

Another symbolic color is yellow.Yellow stands out as symbol of corruption and decay. Materialism has corrupted the citizens of East and West Egg because they center everything on money. When Gatsby entertains this wealthy class, the orchestra plays “yellow cocktail music.” Even Gatsby believes that he can win Daisy back with his money, thus he is described as wearing a “caramel-colored suit”when he lies about his past to Nick. The color yellow was used most frequently when there was a death. One of the first things that Fitzgerald wrote about when Myrtle died was when they laid her on a table in the garage. He wrote“ The garage, which was lit only by a yellow light in a swimming wire basket overhead”(pag e 127).Wilson her husband was in a dazed state, and kept referring to his car only as the“yellow car”(page 157)“That big yellow car”(page 141). That car led to Gatsby’s death. Just before Gatsby was shot by Wilson, Gatsby decided he was going to take a swim in his pool. He had not used it all summer. The chauffeur helped Gatsby fill up a mattress he was going to use in the pool.“Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing tress.” (page 162) Perhaps another sign of his demise.

In “The Great Gatsby,”the author uses blue symbolizing melancholy and calmness in order to make a contrast with the yellow symbolizing the state of clamor. All of this manifests the author’s critical attitude to the contemporary tendency- ostentation, pursuit for material enjoyment and money worship. First, in the valley of ashes, there is an advertisement board of great size on which paints the blue and gigantic eyes of Doctor T.J.Ecklburg. In many days under sun and rain, this pair of eyes is dimmed and seem to be tearing, looking at the valley of ashes and also the people there. The symbolized meaning of the blue eyes was not revealed until the eighth chapter. When George Wilson talked to Michaelis about his wife’s disloyalty to him, he said“She might fool me but she couldn’t fool God.”(page 159)Standing behind him, Michaelis saw with a shock that Wilson was looking at the eyes of DoctorT,J.Ecklburg. After understanding the symbolized meaning of this pair of eyes, we could move on to the symbolized meaning of the color of the eyes. God has been seeing everything, and he knows that Gats by’s dream will be doomed to be s hattered.

He knows the Wilsons’tragedy, Tom and Daisy’s coldness and mercilessness. So his eyes looked sorrowful and melancholy. The author ingeniously designed a vivid detail that on the advertisement board paints the enormous blue eyes of Doctor T.J.Ecklburg sadly looking at man’s world. All of this shows the author’s critical attitude towards the people’s life and idealism of that time. Fitsgerald reused the blue color on George Wilson who is a little character in this great wok. When Wilson first comes to appear in this novel, he is described as follows “He was a blond, spiritless man, and faintly handsome. When he saw us a gleam of hope sprang into his light blue eyes.”(page 78) He is quite different from other characters in the story. He lacked of the characteristic of inexhaustible energy belonging to that time and people in the story such as Mrs Wilson ,Gatsby or Tom. He was spiritless, but worked hard and was loyal to the family, but was not affected by vanity, just wanted to accumulate some money to live in the west and he believed God. These characteristics tally with the symbolized meaning of blue. But his desire didn’t instep with the cruel reality .Just because of this, he becomes the victim of that time. But it is on him that the author places his hopes, for he attempted to utilize this character and the blue’s symbolized meaning to call back the loss of faith, honesty and loyalty of that time .This character’s tragedy which was contrary to the trend of that time is a kind of criticism to that period of time.

Green is a very strong color in this book. It symbolizes hope.The image of green lamp appeared three times respectively at the crucial points of development, and played an important role in the process of modeling the protagonist Gatsby’s character. The green lamp first appeared at the end of chapter one, where Nick went back home in the evening and saw that Gatsby stared at the green light hung at the clock of Daisy’s house under the moon light. This green light means something special to Gatsby, for it has something to do with Daisy, Gatsby has cherished a dream, that is to marry Daisy who is an emblem of beauty and fortune to him. Later on, Daisy married to Tom, but Gatsby still firmly believed that he could seize her back as long s he could own enough money. Thus, t hat green light became the dream and hope in Gatsby’s heart.

The second mention of the green light happens at chapter five.When they met at Nick’s house.Gatsby invited Daisy to visit his magnificent mansion. During that visit, Daisy was deeply attracted by Gatsby’s great wealth and crying in excitement. At that moment, Gatsby thought that he had realized his five-year dream and talked with her of that green light hung at the dock of her home.“If it-wasn’t for the mist we could s ee your home across the bay.”(page 97)said Gatsby “You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock.” For him, Daisy was near at hand, so Gatsby thought that the dream represented by that green light had already come into reality.

The third appearance of the green light is arranged at the end of the novel.After Gatsby’s death, Nick reminded us him and that green light. Gatsby adhered constantly all his life to the pursuit of one dream and sought hard for that, yet he was totally unaware that dream was bound to be smashed. His personal cult is none other than money, in other words , he doesn’t realize what he pursues is something meaningless. So his dream will be necessarily shattered. But on the other hand Gatsby possesses stand fast belief for his own dream and pays his lifelong effort to realize it. This spirit

is worth recommending, for which that time lacks and which the author admitted. The image of the green light helps to establish the theme of the work and functions right as a banner.

At the beginning of Chapter two, the author depicted a certain desolate area of land which located between West Egg and New York and which was named by the author the village of ashes. “This is the place where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens, where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and ris ing smoke”(page 28) The valley of ashes represent a modern world, which is like a grotesque hell created by modern industry. Factories and trains produced in the manufacture of wealth, has polluted America with its wastes.It is a physical desert that symbolizes the spiritual desolation, that a society based on money creates. Overlooking the valley, are the sightless eyes of T.J. Ecklburg, an advertisement on a billboard in which a character actually confuses as God. It represents a God who has been created by modern society to make money. It represents a God who no longer sees nor cares. The whole valley symbolizes a world whose inhabitants are so spiritually lost, that they worship money and wealth. The promise of happiness, hope, and freedom that America gave its first settlers, has been corrupted by the lies of greed, and the emptiness of a dream based on wealth.

Another important symbols in the novel is class and social standing. It is like a barrier for almost every character. East and West Eggs act as a symbol of this by its physical makeup. Tom and Daisy live on the East which is far more refined and consists of people with more money and a higher social status. East Egg also represents the “old money.”Nick and Gatsby are on the West, which is for people who don’t have any real standing, even if they have money. The West Egg represents the “new money.”The green light shines from the East Egg to the West Egg luring Gatsby towards what he has always wanted. And Daisy, the woman that Gatsby has always wanted but never gets, lives on East Egg. There is also a barrier of water between the two cities that keeps people like Daisy and Gatsby apart from one another and keeps them from reaching their goals and what they want in life.

The last symbol I want to mention is the moth. This image with vivid symbolized meaning was the insect-moth. In the former part of the chapter three, the author tried to describe the grand feast in Gatsby’s home, in the latter part of it, to depict the appearance of Gatsby,. This chapter begins with such descriptions: “There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his-blue garden men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the starts.”(page 56). The insect-moth habitually takes actions at night, and likes to fly around the lights., wherever there is a light. It has very thin wings, the color of which is grey looking like bark. This gives such impression that it is not the concrete body without essence or content depending on sucking the liquid of plants. Moth, this insect image is very vivid and lifelike. So, small wonder that Fitsgerald used the moth as a symbol of blindness and parasitism .

The author showed his negative attitude to conduct of those men and girls on Gatsby’s feast through the moth. In the daylight, these people are out of sight, at night, they fly out from every direction, seeking their meals and chasing each other. When

the light is dimmed, they will abandon it. The features of moth show the intrinsic character of those guests in Gatsby’s feast. To go out on a spree and attend banquets every night is the typical way of life at that time and also is the reflection of the inner emptiness and a befuddled life of American youth in 1920’s. So,the symbolic meaning of moth is quite important in this novel.

To sum up, Fitsgerald is so creative and imaginative that he can be skillful enough to use these symbols to reveal the theme of this novel and the fate of the characters. He puts those symbols in great harmony with the theme which efficiently conveys his own atti-tudes and feelings. What’s more, the symbolic meaning of those images don’t’affect the vividness of the images themselves. On the contrary, the author suggests his feelings or ideas to the readers by using those objects .On the right way, these symbols function a lot as a means of representing figures, conveying feelings and making the theme standing out.

了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的分析

《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的分析 崔雪静 摘要：杰伊?盖茨比，菲茨杰拉德的代表作《了不起的盖茨比》的男主人公， 原名詹姆斯?盖兹，是一对贫穷的庄稼人的孩子。但他不愿像他的父母那样当一个庄稼汉，他有着更远大的理想，他想进入上流社会，成为一个有出息的人。随着事态的发展，盖茨比的重心逐渐转移到了黛西身上，但黛西并不能为盖茨比提供什么，反而带给了盖茨比悲剧结局。另一方面，盖茨比违法的赚钱途径也加速了悲剧的发生。 关键词：盖茨比；黛西；人物分析 第一次认识《了不起的盖茨比》是因为莱昂纳多的同名电影，他在电影中 饰演盖茨比。电影以尼克的视角讲述了盖茨比的一生，白手起家到社会新贵， 最终因为对黛西的执着而毁了自己。当时看了，多多少少有点感触，为盖茨比 的结局唏嘘。后来偶然间在网上看见了同名电子书，产生了兴趣，看完后了解 了电影和书之间的联系，便更想多了解一些里面的人物，了解悲剧发生的原 因。本文主要从梦想与现实的角度来分析盖茨比，以及探讨盖茨比悲剧结局的 原因。 一、盖茨比的梦想 1、前期的梦想-步入上流社会 前期，盖茨比的梦想是脱离庄稼人身份，步入上流社会，做一个有出息的 人。那时的盖茨比有着勃勃野心，他一边幻想着未来，一边等待着机遇。终 于，他在小女儿海湾等来了乘着游艇的科迪——一个亿万富翁。“对于手持船 桨抬眼望着那围有栏杆的甲板的年轻盖兹来说，那个快艇便代表了世界上一切 美丽和迷人的事物”1。科迪发现这个年轻人有个聪明的脑袋，而且有远大抱 负，于是他给了盖茨比这次机会，带着盖茨比离开了这个小地方。这是盖茨比 为了梦想迈出的第一步，也是他人生的起步。之后盖茨比被科迪雇佣，为他处 理工作及生活私事，甚至还是他的监护人。科迪越来越信任盖茨比，他老了， 为了避免错误的决策而导致的经济损失，科迪交给盖茨比的也越多，这对盖茨 比来说是很有益的。科迪能有如今的成就，他的阅历和经验对于盖茨比来说能 让盖茨比积累一笔可观的财富——更多的是精神层面和为人处世之道。这是盖 茨比梦想的基石，科迪拓宽了盖茨比的眼界，教了他许多，使他成长，让他一 点点的脱离盖兹，成为盖茨比。“盖茨比几乎滴酒不沾，这与科迪有间接的关

了不起的盖茨比 女性形象解读

解读《了不起的盖茨比》中的女性形象 朱碧荣201314703004 ［摘要］作为爵士时代的代言人，菲茨杰拉德的小说《了不起的盖茨比》被公认为美国文学史上的经典之作，菲茨杰拉德在作品中描写了一个来自社会底层的青年人盖茨比的人生奋斗历程，同时作品也反映出在物质丰富和精神喧嚣的年代，在父权文化的压制下女性的生存空间依然狭窄，随着女权运动的兴起，在很多妇女恪守传统的同时新女性不断涌现它展现了一幅轻浮放浪、玩世不恭的女性群像。本文尝试从女性主义视角来分析解读《了不起的盖茨比》中的女性人物，并得出女性的自私、空虚、金钱至上等悲剧性格的根源在于物质至上主义的制度及作者的男权主义、厌女症和对新女性出现的恐惧。有助于女性反思自己的生存现状，追求经济和思想的独立，这也是小说了不起的盖茨比的现实意义所在。 ［关键词］父权文化; 女权运动; 新女性; 独立 《了不起的盖茨比》在美国最优秀的100 部小说中排名第二，而小说的作者也被誉为桂冠诗人的称号在小说中，作者以主人公盖茨比的人生奋斗历程为线索，描写了其爱情梦和财富梦的破灭，反映了美国梦的虚幻性。《了不起的盖茨比》在今天仍然具有非常重要的现实意义，在物质高度发达的美国社会，人们的精神迷失和道德崩溃是人物悲剧命运的根源，在小说中作者还塑造了很多自私虚荣追求物质享乐的寄生虫样的女性形象，她们的命运也以悲剧收场，同时作者还塑造了一个具有独立精神的新女性乔丹·贝克，在作品中，乔丹与其他的女性形象形成鲜明对比因此本文将通过对作品中的女性形象分析，来说明父权文化下传统女性的悲剧命运，以及在这种压制下，新女性正逐渐崛起从女性主义解读这部小说将有助于妇女反抗父权文化的压迫，勇敢地面对生活的挑战，从而找到属于自己的幸福。 一父权文化下女性的悲惨命运 父权文化在人类社会中具有很长的历史，《圣经》可以说是这种两性关系失衡的根源众所周知，在《圣经》中夏娃是上帝用亚当的一根肋骨制成，这为男女关系的失衡奠定了基础。从此，男人在男女关系中拥有至高无上的地位，男人作为支配者决定了女人的命运和人生价值，而女人只是男人的附属品。《了不起的盖茨比》创作于20 世纪20 年代，这一时期的美国经历了一段经济的快速发展时期，人们的物质生活富足安逸但是女性的社会地位依然低下，她们仍然保持着传统父权社会中的男女两性的关系特征，整个社会对女性的歧视和压迫仍非常普遍。［1］从《了不起的盖茨比》中我们可以非常容易解读出父权文化对女性的压迫。 小说中的女主人公黛西出身于上流社会，她美丽单纯，在众多的追求者中选择了青年军官盖茨比。黛西厌恶上流社会的虚荣、欺骗和无情，她本以为善良诚实的盖茨比是她将来人生的依靠。可是事实上，盖茨比向黛西隐瞒了他的社会底层的出身，单纯的黛西不过是他跻身于上流社会的最好的捷径。当黛西与盖茨比谈婚论嫁时，盖茨比却因军队的调遣远赴国外。伤心的黛西在心灰意冷的情况下，被家人安排要嫁给上流社会的富家子弟汤姆，而盖茨比根本无力实现他答应给予黛西幸福的承诺，在婚礼当天还给黛西写了一封祝贺信。而此时的黛西还在伤心欲绝地等待着盖茨比。黛西虽然出身高贵，衣食无忧，但是在一个父权制社会中，她却无力选择自己的幸福，而黛西婚后的生活更加显示了父权文化对女性的压迫。 黛西在嫁给汤姆之后，不久就发现她的丈夫对婚姻不忠汤姆与酒店的服务员有染的事

盖茨比悲剧的必然性分析

盖茨比悲剧的必然性分析 摘要:《了不起的盖茨比》是菲茨杰拉德的代表作,也是20世纪美国最优秀的作品之一。小说描写了盖茨比追求梦想最终破灭,并被陷害死亡的故事,本文结合20世纪20年代的时代背景,分析美国梦的虚无和盖茨比悲剧的必然性。 关键词:盖茨比;悲剧;美国梦 弗朗西斯·司各特·菲茨杰拉德(1896—1940)是上世纪最杰出的美国作家之一。《了不起的盖茨比》是他的代表作,这部小说被公认为20世纪美国文学中最优秀的作品之一。小说生动的向读者讲述了主人公盖茨比为梦想而努力奋斗却被所有的人抛弃,最终被陷害至死的悲剧命运,揭示了爵士时代美国梦的幻灭,表现了盖茨比必然的悲剧结局。 一、盖茨比的追求与美国梦 盖茨比出自贫困家庭,在部队服役时认识并爱上了年轻美貌的富家小姐黛西,黛西也爱上了盖茨比,但是由于两人社会地位悬殊,她最后抛弃了盖茨比,嫁给了有金钱、有地位的富家子弟汤姆·布坎南,夫妻两人过着富有但空虚的生活。盖茨比认识到只要他有足够的金钱,他就能把黛西夺回来。为了获得金钱,夺回往日的恋人,盖茨比投靠百老汇的赌棍沃尔夫山姆,通过非法手段,贩卖私酒,大发横财,有了钱的盖茨比在黛西家对面买下了豪宅,挥金如土,每晚设宴款待四面八方的宾客,来吸引黛西的注意,希望有一天黛西会出现在他的晚会上。可是黛西却一直没有出现。夜晚,他望着海湾对面黛西家门前的一盏遥远的绿色的灯光,伸出手臂,试图拥抱那遥远的灯光。盖茨比如此执著于自己的梦想,在他身上,我们看到了在世世代代的美国人身上的那种对美国梦的执著精神。 美国梦作为一种精神伴随着美国这个国家的产生、发展和强大。在西进运动中,美国人正是依赖这种精神,通过自己的劳动和努力奋斗获得了想得到的一切,这一切给了美国人乐观、积极的精神,这种精神正是美国梦的精神。美国历史上的杰出人物富兰克林、林肯等更是将这种乐观的精神深深的植根于美国人民心中,那就是只要诚实,肯努力,有信心,人人都可以成功。这种精神激励着一代一代的美国人为梦想而奋斗,促使美国从独立逐渐走向强大,最终发展成为强大的工业国家,拥有了极大的物质财富。 二、盖茨比的悲剧命运 在《了不起的盖茨比》中,小说的叙述者尼克就住在盖茨比的豪宅旁边,他也是黛西的远房表兄。在迟迟等不到黛西出现后,盖茨比请求尼克安排他和黛西见一面,在见到自己梦中的情人时,盖茨比异常紧张,失去了常态,他不敢相信这个事实,不敢相信黛西真的会出现在他面前,因为黛西是他的梦想,只存在于他的想象中,这多年的梦想已经真实到超过了黛西本人。在他给黛西展示他各种各样的衬衣时,他无比骄傲。黛西似乎被他的金钱打动了,对盖茨比充满了爱慕之情,但是汤

研究方法 1982年，联合国教科文组织通过的《墨西哥城文化政策宣言》对文化做了界定：“从最广泛的意义来讲，文化现在可以看成一个社会或社会集团的精神、物质、理性和情感等方面显著特点所构成的综合整体。它不仅包括艺术和文学，也包括生活方式，人类的基本权利，价值体系、传播和信仰。”作为文艺创作的源泉，文化不可避免地体现在电影的内容和形式里，只有通过这些标识我们才能识别电影的文化归属。而电影的诞生激活了人类的视觉经验，把世界从语言的重压下解救出来，它使可理解的思想变成可见的思想，使概念的世界变成可见的世界，使人再一次从世界的角度去看世界，原本抽象化的文化进程在这里发生了转变。通过电影，我们可以好的去了解作品中隐藏的文化。 研究结论 今天我们就以《了不起的盖茨比》为例，管窥一下美国的社会文化。 《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家菲茨杰拉德1926年所写的一部以20世纪20年代的纽约市及长岛为背景的中篇小说，小说的背景被设定在现代化的美国中上阶层的白人圈内，通过尼克的叙述展开。二十世纪二十年代的美国，爵士时代，这个时代也是美国作家菲茨杰拉德创造力最为旺盛的时代，他因此也被

论盖茨比悲剧的必然性

On Inevitability of Gatsby’s Tragedy I. Introduction Scott. Fitzgerald is a prominent novelist in the American literature, owned the title of the spokesman of the Jazz Age and the laurel of poet. From the contents and thoughts, the creative traits, his book the Great Gatsby is a real masterpiece of Fitzgerald, which made him get success in writing. As soon as it was published publicly in 1925, the Great Gatsby gained many critics’ affirmation and praise, becoming as one of the most excelle nt works in the 20th century. “The famous poet and critic Aerate said that the Great Gatsby took a great progress in American novels since Henry James.”(Donaldson, 1984: 283) In this novel, with a brief and serious style, the author vividly described a tragedy caused by American Dream, and successfully molded a suffered figure Gatsby. He was the author’s favorite character, in that they had many things in common such as many experiences and spiritual virtues that are different from the comprehension and chase to American life of common people. Gatsby owned marvelous genius, incomparable resolute romantic volition to his dream as well as his loyalty to his ideal, which won high praise of the author. The essay, on one hand, gives deep sympathy to Gatsby about his tragedy, on the other hand, it indicates that it is vain and dangerous to seek American Dream at that time. The paper is analyzing the inevitability of the hero Gatsby’s tragedy by examining the essence of Gatsby’s dream, the potential destructiveness in Gatsby’s characters and social-backgrounds that lead to Gatsby’s destruction. II. Description of Gatsby’s Dream 2.1 Origin of Gatsby’s Dream Gatsby’s dream originated from the American dream, and the so-called “American Dream”, in Am erican society, especially in the period of exploiting the New Continent, formed and developed a rather commonly attracting ideal. It has long history dating from the period of European emigrants exploiting the New Continent, and this dream owns tremendous enough connotations of American desire and hope to spirits and materials. Consequently, many people defined it as the synthesis of Wealthy Dream, Transcendent Dream and Love Dream.

The Great Gatsby F.Scott.Fitzgerald . Character List Daisy Buchanan - Nick’s cousin, and the woman Gatsby loves. As a young woman in Louisville before the war, Daisy was courted by a number of officers, including Gatsby. She fell in love with Gatsby and promised to wait for him. However, Daisy harbors a deep need to be loved, and when a wealthy, powerful young man named Tom Buchanan asked her to marry him, Daisy decided not to wait for Gatsby after all. Now a beautiful socialite, Daisy lives with Tom across from Gatsby in the fashionable East Egg district of Long Island. She is sardonic and somewhat cynical, and behaves superficially to mask her pain at her husband’s constant infidelity. Daisy Buchanan (In-Depth Analysis) Tom Buchanan - Daisy’s immensely wealthy husband, once a member of Nick’s social club at Yale. Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family, Tom is an arrogant, hypocritical bully. His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him. He has no moral qualms about his own extramarital affair with Myrtle, but when he begins to suspect Daisy and Gatsby of having an affair, he becomes outraged and forces a confrontation. Jordan Baker - Daisy’s friend, a woman with whom Nick becomes romantically involved during the course of the novel. A competitive golfer, Jordan represents one of the “new women” of the 1920s—cynical, boyish, and self-centered. Jordan is beautiful, but also dishonest: she cheated in order to win her first golf tournament and continually bends the truth. Myrtle Wilson - Tom’s lover, whose lifeless husband George owns a run-down garage in the valley of ashes. Myrtle herself possesses a fierce vitality and desperately looks for a way to improve her situation. Unfortunately for her, she chooses Tom, who treats her as a mere object of his desire. Analysis of Major Characters Daisy Buchanan Partially based on Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, Daisy is a beautiful young woman from Louisville, Kentucky. She is Nick’s cousin and the object of Gatsby’s love. As a young debutante in Louisville, Daisy was extremely popular among the military officers stationed near her home, including Jay Gatsby. Gatsby lied about his background to Daisy, claiming to be from a wealthy family in order to convince her that he was worthy of her. Eventually, Gatsby won Daisy’s heart, and they made love before Gatsby left to fight in the war. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby, but in 1919 she chose instead to marry Tom Buchanan, a young man from a solid, aristocratic family who could promise her a wealthy lifestyle and who had the support of her parents. After 1919, Gatsby dedicated himself to winning Daisy back, making her the single goal of all of his dreams and the main motivation behind his acquisition of immense wealth through criminal activity. To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In reality, however, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter VII, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving

了不起的盖茨比的象征主义

《了不起的盖茨比》的狂欢化色彩时间 摘要《了不起的盖茨比》是美国小说家 F.司各特.菲茨杰拉德的代表作，被公认为是美国文学史上的经典之作。许多学者从叙事结构、女性主义、象征主义、心理学等多角度进行过评析，但利用巴赫金的狂欢化理论的寥寥无几。本文通过对小说中狂欢化艺术特色进行分析，从一个新的角度再次揭示小说所表达的所谓的“ 美国梦”的破灭的主题。 关键词《了不起的盖茨比》美国梦狂欢化 织梦内容管理系统 一、引言美国著名诗人兼文学批评家T·S·艾略特1925 年在菲茨杰拉德代表作《了不起的盖茨比》首次面世时就曾评说：“在我看来，这是自亨利·詹姆斯以来美国小说迈出的第一步”。从表面上看，小说讲述的似乎只是一个成年人的爱情悲剧故事，而真实记录的却是二十年代美国追求物质成功的疯狂气氛和梦幻式的生活方式的实质是道德沦丧、物欲横流、腐败之风盛行。从而把“美国梦”的幻灭这一主题表现的栩栩如生，淋漓尽致。小说中通过一个接一个的大大小小的聚会，把不相关的人物联系起来；聚会上的无数的来自上流社会的名人雅士，打扮得争奇斗艳,象飞蛾一般在笑语、香槟和繁星中间来来往往，个个酩酊大醉，丑态百出,俨然中世纪的嘉年华庆典。因而，本文运用巴赫金的狂欢化（carnivalization）理论来分析《了不起的盖茨比》应该是一个比较合适的视角。二、狂欢化狂欢化，按巴赫金的界定，即狂欢节上形成了“整整一套表示象征意义的具体感性形式的语言，这个语言无法充分准确地译成文字的语言，不过它可以在一定程度上转化为同它相近的（也具有具体感性的性质）艺术形象的语言，也就是说转为文学的语言。狂欢式转为文学语言，就是我们所谓的狂欢化。”与此术语直接相关的另一概念是“狂欢化文学”，它源于狂欢节本身，所以它在形式上具有狂欢节的特点———仪式性、戏谑性、小丑（傻瓜、骗子形象）等，在意蕴上体现为狂欢式的世界感受，即“交替与变更的精神、死亡与新生的精神。”三、仪式性的狂欢化色彩———“加冕”与“脱冕”在这部作品中, 狂欢化色彩通过盖茨比的加冕脱冕仪式被表现得淋漓尽致。小说的前三章一直没有让读者面对面地直接接触这位神秘的人物，而是通过大量具体的场景描绘和有关传闻。这就给读者设置了一个悬念：盖茨比是谁？是穿盛装的还是小丑形象的？烘托和突出了盖茨比在小说中的特殊地位和存在意义”。盖茨比营造的豪华、炫丽、阔绰的聚会吸引了无数来自上流社会的名人雅士。他们有的慕名而来，有的不请自到，目的只有一个：显示自己的高贵的身份，享受豪华的物质生活，表示自己是走在时代前列的。他们以能够出席这些高档的酒会而感到荣耀。而盖茨比为了满足那些人的狂欢的需求，提供了极为奢侈的物质世界：小汽艇、滑水板、私人海滩、跳台、罗尔斯-罗伊斯轿车、精致的花园等等，恰如狂欢节前精心准备。但来享受免费宴会的社会名流,表现却如小丑，对如此好客的主人的来历议论纷纷，杀人犯、德国间谍、私酒贩子、骗子（不相信盖茨比在牛津受教育）。这一切表明；盖茨比集国王与小丑于一身，即人们表面称盖茨比为国王，内心却当他是小丑。盖茨比用豪华的宴会搭建狂欢广场，用昂贵的服装扮演国王加冕。然而，他的狂欢广场是虚浮的、飘渺的空中楼阁，没有根基的，注定将在狂欢结束之后一切烟消云散,华丽的盛装再也盖不住本来的小丑的真面目。这正如巴赫金说:“对文学的艺术思维产生异常巨大影响的，当然是加冕脱冕的仪式”。在狂欢节生活里，加冕与脱冕是合二为一的双重仪式，加冕同时意味着脱冕，反之亦然。盖茨比的人物形象在加冕为国王到脱冕为小丑的过程中也与狂欢世界中诞生与死亡、加冕与脱冕的仪式相对应，暗示了盖茨比所追求的“美国梦”的内在本质—虚假、空洞、毫无实际意义的幻影。如同狂欢节上的虚伪的、转眼即逝的欢歌笑语；事后想想一切如同过眼烟云。

简析《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的悲剧成因【开题报告】

开题报告 英语 简析《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的悲剧成因 一、论文选题的背景、意义（所选课题的历史背景、国内外研究现状和发展趋势） 一战结束后，美国在战争中不仅未伤筋骨，反而大发了一笔军火财。庞大的战时利润和充足的贸易机会使它很快进入了经济快速增长期，二十年代的美国出现了“飙升的年代”（The Roaring Times）,经济空前繁荣。在这一时期上升到极端重要地位的新工业不仅推动了其它部门的经济繁荣，也构成了改变美国人民的生活习惯和价值观念的主要动力。这个时候的美国，空气里弥漫着欢歌与纵饮的气息，传统的清教徒道德已经土崩瓦解，清教主义和新教的价值观念和道德风尚受到了强烈的震撼，勤俭、节约、自控的价值标准面临奢华、享乐、放纵等观念的挑战，享乐主义开始大行其道。弗·斯格特·菲茨杰拉德最著名的小说《了不起的盖茨比》就设定在20世纪20年代的美国社会里。菲茨杰拉德将这一时期命名为“爵士时代”,是美国“历史上最会纵乐，最讲炫丽的年代”。 弗·斯格特·菲茨杰拉德是美国20世纪20年代文坛上杰出的小说家。素有“爵士时代”的代言人称号。“爵士时代”是指自一战结束至经济大萧条（1929）的一段时间，也就是20世纪20年代。用菲茨杰拉德自己的话来说，“这是一个奇迹的时代，一个艺术的时代，一个挥金如土的时代，也是一个充满嘲讽的时代。”《了不起的盖茨比》是美国现代小说的先驱之一。作为一部现代小说艺术的精品之作，《了不起的盖茨比》自出版以来一直受到读者与文学批评界的好评。著名诗人兼文学评论家T．S．艾略特（1945）称该小说为“美国小说自亨利·詹姆斯以来迈出的第一步”。菲茨杰拉德在小说《了不起的盖茨比》中谴责以汤姆为代表的美国特权阶级自私专横，为所欲为，以同情的态度描写了盖茨比的悲剧，并指出他的悲剧来自他对生活和爱情的幻想，对上层社会人物缺乏认识。小说通过主人公盖茨比的悲剧，对照其生前的奢侈享乐及死后的凄惨悲凉，深刻揭示了那个时代盛极一时的奢靡与不可避免的没落。 对于这部作品，国内外评论也非常多。有从女性形象分析，反应作者本人对美国20世纪20年代妇女及美国社会精神价值的严肃思考。通过对黛西、乔丹、茱特尔三位女性性格、金钱观、爱情的描写，菲茨杰拉德成功刻画了那个时代美国社会中典型的女性形象，其外表虽然绚丽，但其本质是浅薄空虚的。揭示了建立在这种物质基础之上的美国梦的必然结果就是因其缺乏道德精神实质而灭亡。有分析作品中的“二元主角”现象，
