浅析《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的悲剧人生

《了小起的盖茨比》以深沉凝练的基调,向读者描述了一个悲剧盖茨比生活在“爵士时代”,他为实现其梦想表现出执着的精神,最终梦想遭遇失败,描绘了由美国梦所引发的一场悲剧,本文从多方面分析了他悲剧人生的根源。

一、悲剧的特质和美在书中的体现

(一)悲剧性冲突

悲剧展现的是善良与邪恶之间的冲突,并且以邪压正而告终,但却不是所有以邪压正告终的都称得上是悲剧。由悲剧性冲突导致的真正的不幸有其必然性。表而上的偶然事件也许有其产生的必然因素。悲剧性冲突应该描绘的是正义和邪恶之间不可避免的斗争。当然,冲突要通过偶然事件来体现。如果在悲剧性冲突中无必然性存在,那么这样的悲剧就不具备社会和普遍意义,也丧失了深刻性。

菲茨杰拉德在这个时代中创作出的人物盖茨比也怀揣着自己的梦想——从汤姆那里赢回黛西的爱。他一直幻想着他和黛西之间的感情对黛西就像对他自己一样纯洁和重要。一个怀着希望,充满爱,富有责任感的人遭遇到的是一个喧嚣混乱、一片废墟的外部世界。可以想象,在这样一个无爱的精神荒原中,盖茨比紧守着自己对纯洁爱情的幻想。很显然,这其中存在着必然的矛盾和冲突。

(二)悲剧式主人公的性格

小说《了不起的盖茨比》中,盖茨比非法走私白酒,并有染许多不干净的生意,赚了不少钱。从这个侧面看,盖茨比是不同于其他英雄式的悲剧式主人公的。但这与整个社会有密切的联系。盖茨比生活在“爵士时代”,人们的激情和热情都被幻灭所替代,法律更是形同虚设。盖茨比家境贫寒,出身低微,因为没钱而失去了女友。但他是一个充满希望,对爱情坚贞不渝,为爱牺牲一切的人,无论他做什么,唯一的目的就是实现他的爱情梦想。而他一直珍视并深爱的女友黛西是那个时代拜金女性的代表,连她说话时都充斥着金钱的声音。她是一个不安分守己、肤浅、胆小、没有责任感,除了自己谁也不关心的人。鲁迅曾说:“悲剧就是展现生命中珍贵的东西被破坏。”如前分析,小说中盖茨比身上宝贵的东西被那个混乱的时代吞噬掉了,所以,盖茨比是一个真正意义上的悲剧式主人公。

二、《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的人生悲剧的具体表现

(一)盖茨比的人生悲剧表现在神秘的出场

透过小说的画面,里面的不同人物均有各自独特的个性。比如像汤姆·布坎农这个角色,头发呈现稻草般的颜色,嘴角边上有很明显的凶狠样子,从远处看上去,身体非常结实强壮,有着特别高傲的言行。给广大观众的第一直观感受就显得咄咄逼人。在黛西出场时,非常有气质,举比优雅,脸上显露的是满心的虔

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

It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, which you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.

On the Function of the Symbolism in Expressing Theme of The Great Gatsby Author:xierongfeng Number:××× Tutor:liuguoying Abstract: F. Scott Fitzgerald, American novelist and short story writer, is widely consider the literary spokesman of the “jazz age”-the decade of the 1920s .In 1925, Fitzgerald published his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby .In this book, he employs all kinds of names, settings and colors as symbols to reflect the characteristics of the age and to deepen the theme of the work. The author of the paper mainly analyzes the function of the symbolism in manifesting the theme- disillusion of American dream-of the work from there aspects of the symbols-name, setting and color. Key Words: Symbolism; American dream; The Great Gatsby Ⅰ.Introduction F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in a not rich family, so he wanted to earn lots of money to become rich to enjoy high quality life. To satisfy his wife’s limitless requirements, he lived a very hard life. The tempo of his life slackened as his life was shredded by Zelda’s insanity and his own self-destructive alcoholism. Through years of emotional and physical collapse he struggled to repair his life by writing for Hollywood-producing at the same time a series of stories that exposed his humiliation there. He became one of the greatest writers in American literature and wrote many works in his lifetime to manifest the life reality of that time. He was a spokesman for the so-called Jazz Age, setting a personal as well as literary example for a generation whose first commandment was: Do what you will. He fell from favor as a writer when the indulgent decade of his triumph went down under the impact of a worldwide Depression in the 1930s. The Great Gatsby is regarded as his masterpiece. First published on April 10, 1925, the story is set in Long Island's North Shore and New York City during the summer of 1922. The novel tells of Gatsby ,an idealist , who tries to recapture his lost love but in vain and is finally destroyed by the influence of the wealthy people around him .The

了不起的盖茨比分析-英文论文

James (Yang Zhen) ENGL1601-B02 Professor: Hargrave Oct 10th 2009 Pursuing the Forbidden love In the novel The Great Gatsby the protagonists were pursuing their ideal but forbidden love. Gatsby thought that Daisy loved him so much and she didn?t love her husband Tom at all and if he could get a great deal of money, he could join the upper class?s life and then Daisy would leave her husband for him. Meanwhile, another protagonist Almasy thought he could give up everything to pursue his ideal love. But both of their thoughts were too idealistic, simple and naive. The cruel reality and social environment would not make their dream come true. In my points of view, the huge gap between their ideal love and the cruel reality would make it a certainty that their pursuing for love would become a tragedy and their tragedy could be a warning for us. Jay Gatsby was a son of shiftless and unsuccessful farm people in the middle west of USA. When he joined the army, he met Daisy, a beautiful woman from the upper class, and fell in love with her. Then, he took apart in the war and five years later when he came back from the Europe, Daisy had got married with a rich boy Tom. Later, Gatsby began his love to woman who had a husband. And Almasy, a Hungarian-born historian, follow the explorer Madox to do some research in the Sahara desert and met Geoffrey Clifton and his wife Katharine Clifton. Katharine?s charm and flair deeply attracted Almasy. He fell in love with her and also began to pursuing.

the_great_gatsby(了不起的盖茨比)_英文介绍及赏析

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
