成也梦想,败也梦想--试析菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的盖茨比》
摘要
《了不起的盖茨比》是美国著名作家,“迷惘的一代”的代表菲茨杰拉德的杰作。
菲茨杰拉德通过描述主人公盖茨比悲剧的一生,生动地展现了十九世纪二十年代迷惘一代的失败。
在《了不起的盖茨比》中,盖茨比的美国梦包含爱情梦和财富梦,而他最终目的是为了赢得他的初恋情人-黛西的爱情。
从某种程度上来说,盖茨比是天真的,因为他始终坚信真爱。
在他眼里,真爱胜过财富。
成为有钱人也仅仅是为了得到他所认为的真爱。
在分析过盖茨比的成败后,总体来说,爱情梦是他攫取财富的内在动力以及促使他毁灭的根本原因。
除了这个根本原因外,本文还讨论了盖茨比性格里的自毁性和残酷的社会事实对盖茨比的影响。
