The Great Gatsby


They went to the war because they believed in that this war would save the international democracy and this is a glorious war, a war of justice. But soon they were disillusioned by the crulty of war and the breakdown of the American dream, and even more disappointed by the unwilling acceptance of the post-war society. They became doubted about the old values while at the same time they still could not accept the new standard of values and morality.

The term originated with Gertrude Stein, an American female writer who expatriated in Paris. It was popularized by Ernest Hemingway who used it as one of two constrasting epigraphs for his novel “The Sun Also Rises”. It refers to a group of American literary notables who lived in Europe between WWⅠand the Great Depression.

FitzgeraldContextFrancis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, and named after his ancestor Francis Scott Key,the author of The Star-Spangled Banner。

Fitzgerald was raised in St。

Paul, Minnesota. Though an intelligent child, he did poorly in school and was sent to a New Jersey boarding school in 1911. Despite being a mediocre student there, he managed to enroll at Princeton in 1913. Academic troubles and apathy plagued him throughout his time at college, and he never graduated, instead enlisting in the army in 1917, as World War I neared its end.Fitzgerald became a second lieutenant, and was stationed at Camp Sheridan, in Montgomery, Alabama. There he met and fell in love with a wild seventeen-year-old beauty named Zelda Sayre. Zelda finally agreed to marry him, but her overpowering desire for wealth, fun, and leisure led her to delay their wedding until he could prove a success。

The Great Gatsby F.Scott.Fitzgerald.Character ListDaisy 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 CharactersDaisy BuchananPartially 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 the car. Finally, rather than atte nd Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving noforwarding address.Like Zelda Fitzgerald, Daisy is in love with money, ease, and material luxury. She is capable of affection (she seems genuinely fond of Nick and occasionally seems to love Gatsby sincerely), but not of sustained loyalty or care. She is indifferent even to her own infant daughter, never discussing her and treating her as an afterthought when she is introduced in Chapter VII. In Fitzgerald’s conception of America in the 1920s, Daisy represents the amoral values of the aristocratic East Egg set.。

《了不起的盖茨比》
作者:F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德

第一章
在我的一生中,假如一些东西浮上了水面,我就总是希望遭殃。

并且假如我真遭了殃,我也会细细地品味一番。

——杰伊·盖
茨比
当我29岁的时候,我的乡村富户朋友汤姆•布坦南带我去纽约
一起玩。

他是一个很高大的金发男子,一个在那个年代里扮演了“新金融”角色的人物。

在那个让人吃惊的女人们尚未习惯现金富商们告诉他们的故事之前,这类角色通常是默默无闻的。

我以邱小颖方式感慨,但这对他来说是个挑战。

他的态度装载着昂首挺胸的世界,对他来说除了自己之外都是渺小的。

汤姆的恰荣耀之外,长得很像邦慕斯,但我总是幻想邦慕斯可能是势利的。

渐渐地,我清楚地看到这被唤做“暗湖”的闷墙后面的门户,是他个人不愿花时间去打破的一堵墙。

他手里的笔更像一个握着长枪的斯巴达勇士的样子。

2002年,我要去纽约看汤姆。

所以我在公布我的日程之前,
首先让他解释为什么他没从瓜岛飞回来;终于,在我们抵达那
里的时候,它为此事出了眼睛。

他的苍白的女人——女巫这种讨厌的形象一直是我的嘲笑;她经常给汤姆写信,甚至给我们几百元的支票,如果在纽约偶然度过不想在金罩里结账的周末后,我们就会敲门向酒窖开放;她的透明的爱豆,那是金枪鱼罐头里泡出来的,是用水割的;她16岁时重逾200磅,让所有男子在深情厚意下逛过;她是泡在美国精神里的浓形式。

“眼前的《国家地理》摆在我面前,很快两小时过去了。

这一刻,桌子上的物质更加让我怀念了。

”。

past.----Fitzgerald The introduction of the Writter The Great Gatsby, is the United States 20th century an important novelist made by Fitzgerald, he was a “lost generation” writers, is the “jazz age” poet laureate.Fitzgera ld of novel vivid of reflect has in the 1920 of the 20th century “United States dream” of burst, show has big depression period United States upper social of spirit, its life experience and he of works are can description, he is United States “Jazz times” of spokesman, is in the 1920 of the 20th century has representative of writer, he has success and brilliant of side, also has bitter and frustrated of side, had was called “failed of authority”.His life is intertwined with ambition and reality, success and failure, triumph and a dog, indulgence and decadence, love and pain, United States and civilized Europe clash of civilizations, conflict between East and West, dreams and disillusionment......It's all in the performance of most of his novels, the most representative of the Great Gatsby, it lays the author in the modern United States status of literature.The introduction to the story Story takes place in the modern United States social class on the white circle, and described by Cab Calloway.Cab Calloway was born in the United States Midwest and later to the United States in New York learning to run a stock business, and want to get rich.He lives on Long Island, and the story of Gatsby-o, and make friends with them.Gatsby was originally called the gates, and Cab Calloway as from the Midwest, he was born normal but ambitious, due to bootlegging and riches.He used to hold a Grand party at home, dayanbinke, to display its rich, objective is to attract the lovers Daisy five years ago and win back his heart.Five years ago, Gatsby's Daisy when military service washis lover, Gatsby overseas during the first world war, because of greed was born wealthy family married dudes Tom.However, desire and carnal meet Daisy has not filled the spiritual void and emptiness.In Cab Calloway's help, the share closed with gates after rekindling.But Daisy is not the original one was Daisy, she no longer is Gatsby's idea of the innocent girl, but a stupid, selfish, vulgar and beautiful body.Gatsby's beautiful dream has finally been shattered, but he did last fight, there is a hint of fantasy to Daisy, which suffered a more tragic and sad ter, Daisy, in a drink driving Gatsby's car killed Tom's mistress, but plotted together with T om and Gatsby are cruel referred to, lead to deceased husband burst into Gatsby's home, shot Gatsby and then committed suicide, Gatsby ultimately become selfish and cruel victim of Daisy.Delicate and accurate display of the Great Gatsby in the 1920 of the 20th century United States social style, makes a detailed depiction of the sort that glamorous, feasting frenzy scenes.World War I, United States is undoubtedly the biggest winner, surging economic strength, the spirit world was facing a huge crisis.On the ruins of the old morality, ideals, beliefs, the post-war United States youth slipped into the pursuit of consumption life to enjoy.Money is considered above all gods in the world.Challenges to traditional moral values, and the new value has not been formed.Thus, the Americans in the age of moral turpitude, spiritual emptiness.People dreaming of riches, the pursuit of material to meet and enjoy a social fashion The reasons I love the Great Gatsby There are many reason to love the Great Gatsby: like opening that his father's advice: when you comment on other people's, keep in mind that not all people are like you superior conditions.Like Gatsby, standing on the beach looking at Daisy's Dock Green, looked at him like “stretched outhis arms in a strange way”, like the kind of surprise and keen;unknown like Gatsby's mansion on the night of lights, and wind from the garden to the music and laughter, sensual pleasures, horny.Gatsby hiding in this bustling behind the lonely and repressed desire.Love after the death of that human well-being, like looking at the car from another end of the world came to the door of the mansion, but have not found a better dinner had ended.Also like the book's language, metaphor and story-telling way, and delicate but rigorous structure.Only after repeated reading, you will find everyone in the book not only full, independent and invisible and taper up in an episode of the snare, becomes part of the plot.This conclusion, however, in front of the Great Gatsby back into an indefinable weak and dull.In the face of love, Gatsby is always waiting, he found Daisy at the end terminals of the shadows behind her the green light to start, he was caught in a strong pain and guarding, although this watch for seemingly smart people, in many cases, is simply stupid.When we encounter an eyeful only money but tenderness in front of you to say I love you girls how to respond? scarier is that she does not intend to, sincere look in her eyes and you can't shy away from you that nothing in your wallet when maybe we, in response to the speculation can only be embarrassed and silent.But Gatsby realized that she loved him, but he had no money.Thus, Gatsby's tragedy began.Fitzgerald is great that we have so many words to express but also had to shut his mouth, looked at Gatsby irreparable gradually fell to the later built his own love in the backyard garden.第三篇:《了不起的盖茨比》英文读后感13级3班左安琪13061069 The Great Gatsby This is a story aboutGatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’.During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy.But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry T om, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby.Broken-hearted Gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance.He strongly believed in the ‘American dreams’, which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts.He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her.He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be.Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.I can’t help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey.One thing may be the lonely void of people’s spiritual world.I am deeply impressed by chapter 3.There were two circumstances underlying it.The first is the lack of dreams.Some people, especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life.They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life.They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom.The second is the misleading of dreams.Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously.They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality.Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time.W they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes.As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us.To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue.And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, we should always be concious about whatwe really desire.Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.第四篇:《了不起的盖茨比》英文读后感Pursuit for dreams—after reading The Great GatsbyI have heard of the famous novel The Great Gatsby for many years.However, until recently have I got the time and mood to read it.As soon as I finish reading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.This is a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’.During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy.But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby.Broken-hearted Gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance.He strongly believed in th e ‘American dreams’, which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts.He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her.He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be.Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.After reading it, something reverberates in my heart.I can’t help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey.One thing may be the lon ely void of people’s spiritual world.I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vivid description of a party is given.There were beautiful girls, drunk men, and boisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds.To see this phenomenon deeper, there were two circumstances underlying it.The first is the lack of dreams.Some people, especially the people of the upperclass, lived an aimless life.They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life.They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom.The second is the misleading of dreams.Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously.They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality.Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time.When they were anxious about the to-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes.The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly.The imagery of ‘green light’ is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel.The green-light’s obscure in the mist indicates the dim of Gatsby’s dreams.As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us.To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue.And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, we should always be concious about what we really desire.Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.第五篇:了不起的盖茨比英文读书笔记Why Gatsby is Great?——After reading The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is written by an American author F.Scott Fitzgerald.F.Scott Fitzgerald is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.The Great Gatsby is his most famous novel.The movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby is very popular during this period, so I read this famous novel.The story is about the young and mysterious millionairenamed Jay Gatsby and narrated by Nick Carraway.Nick is the neighbor of Gatsby and is connected with other characters.As far as I am concerned, Nick is absolutely a good narrator, which offers an objective angle for us readers to have a comprehensive understanding of the story.However, the story is a tragedy with an ending that Gatsby is killed wrongly.For his whole life after he falls in love with Daisy, an elegant and attractive but shallow and selfish young lady, he strives for years to become a millionaire even in an illegal way.But Gatsby doesn’t realize the truth of his love and still sacrifices for his dream blindly, even by paying with his life.Gatsby takes the blame of killing Myrtle for Daisy, and is shot by Myrtle’s husband who is incited by Tom.Sadly, after his death, all Gatsby gains is Daisy’s indifference.I am curious about the novel title The Great Gatsby and have my own understanding.Why is Gatsby great? In my opinion, it is about the difference between Gatsby and other characters.Even Gatsby’s dream of getting his first love Daisy’s heart finally leads to his tragedy;Gatsby is pure and idealistic relative to other characters to a certain extent.Gatsby is enthusiastic, sincere and persevering.On the contrary, Daisy is self-absorbed, and Tom is heartless and cruel with a bad faith.Wilson is cowardly and suspicious and Myrtle is adulterous.And the people in the upper ten who enjoy the good wine and dainty food offered by Gatsby actually do not accept him as one of them.People are cold and detached, and we can learn about that with their indifference after Gatsby’s death.。

Gatsby's obsession with Daisy, his relentless pursuit of her, and his tragic downfall are all captured with nuance and depth in DiCaprio's performance. The character of Gatsby is both alluring and tragic,a man who is simultaneously larger than life and deeply vulnerable.The chemistry between DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, who plays Daisy Buchanan, is electric and palpable. Their love story is passionate and tumultuous, filled with longing and regret. The tragic ending of their relationship is both heartbreaking and inevitable, a reminder of the destructive power of love and ambition.In addition to the central love story, "The Great Gatsby" also explores themes of class, race, and privilege. The characters in the film represent a cross-section of society, from theworking-class Nick Carraway to the wealthy and elite Buchanan family. The juxtaposition of these different social strata highlights the inequalities and injustices that were prevalent in 1920s America, a theme that remains relevant today.Overall, "The Great Gatsby" is a sumptuous and compelling film that immerses the viewer in a world of excess and ambition. The performances, visuals, and music all work together to create a sensory experience that is both exhilarating and poignant. Baz Luhrmann's interpretation of the classic novel is a bold and ambitious one, and the end result is a film that is both faithful to the source material and uniquely his own.In conclusion, "The Great Gatsby" is a cinematic triumph that deserves to be seen and appreciated by audiences of all ages.

Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel to life in a way that is both dazzling and heartbreaking.篇2As I sat down to watch "The Great Gatsby," I was immediately drawn into the glitz and glamour of the 1920s. The film, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel of the same name, tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and wealthy man who throws extravagant parties in the hopes of rekindling a romance with Daisy Buchanan, a married woman he fell in love with years ago.One of the most striking aspects of the film is its visual style. Director Baz Luhrmann has created a world that is both dazzling and decadent, filled with vibrant colors, elaborate costumes, and stunning set designs. The parties at Gatsby's mansion are a whirlwind of music, dancing, and champagne, and the camera captures every detail in glorious detail.But beneath the surface of all the glamour lies a story of love, loss, and betrayal. Jay Gatsby, played brilliantly by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a tragic figure who is willing to do whatever it takes to win back Daisy, even if it means resorting to deceit and violence. His obsession with Daisy consumes him, and ultimately leads to his downfall.At the heart of the film is the theme of the American Dream, and how it can be both alluring and ultimately hollow. Gatsby's rise to wealth and power is a testament to the idea that anyone can achieve success in America, but his inability to truly connect with Daisy reveals the emptiness of his pursuit. In the end, Gatsby is left alone and broken, his dreams shattered by the harsh reality of the world.The performances in the film are exceptional, with DiCaprio delivering a nuanced and heartbreaking portrayal of Gatsby. Carey Mulligan is equally impressive as Daisy, capturing her vulnerability and inner turmoil with sensitivity and grace. The supporting cast, including Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, round out the ensemble with skill and depth.Overall, "The Great Gatsby" is a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film that stays with you long after thecredits roll. It is a reminder that the pursuit of wealth and status can never truly satisfy the longing of the heart, and that true happiness can only be found in genuine connection and love. In a world that is often driven by ambition and materialism, Gatsby's tragic story serves as a cautionary tale, urging us to look beyond the surface and seek out what truly matters in life.篇3The Great Gatsby is a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences with its themes of love, wealth, and the American Dream. Upon watching the film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, I was deeply moved by the intricate storytelling, brilliant performances, and stunning visuals that brought the Jazz Age to life.One of the most striking aspects of The Great Gatsby is its portrayal of wealth and excess. The opulent parties, luxurious mansions, and extravagant lifestyles of the characters serve as a stark contrast to the emptiness and disillusionment that lurk beneath the surface. The character of Jay Gatsby himself is the epitome of the American Dream – a self-made man who rose from poverty to wealth, only to find that material success cannot buy happiness or love.Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of Jay Gatsby was nothing short of mesmerizing. He captured the character's charm, charisma, and vulnerability with such depth and nuance that it was impossible not to root for him, despite his flaws and questionable actions. Carey Mulligan's performance as Daisy Buchanan was equally captivating, portraying the character's conflicted emotions and moral ambiguity with grace and authenticity.The film's visual aesthetics were a feast for the eyes, with gorgeous costumes, lavish sets, and stunning cinematography that captured the glamour and decadence of the 1920s. The use of color, light, and music created a dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly complemented the story's themes of love, longing, and loss.However, what struck me the most about The Great Gatsby was its exploration of the complexities of human nature. The characters are flawed and morally ambiguous, grappling with their desires, insecurities, and the consequences of their actions. The film does not shy away from depicting the darker aspects of human behavior, such as greed, jealousy, and betrayal, which ultimately lead to tragic consequences for the characters.In conclusion, The Great Gatsby is a haunting and profoundly moving film that delves into the complexities of love, wealth, and the illusions of the American Dream. Its timeless themes, brilliant performances, and stunning visuals make it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a gripping and thought-provoking story. As I reflect on the film, I am reminded of the fragility of happiness, the fleeting nature of love, and the insatiable pursuit of wealth that can lead to a loss of one's true self. The Great Gatsby is a powerful reminder that true greatness lies not in material possessions, but in the depth of one's character and the capacity for love and compassion.。
