Symbolism in The Great Gatsby
F.Scott Fitzgerald, as one of the great stylists in American
literature and is the spokesman of a crucial and revealing period in the cultural history of his country. His masterpiece, The GreatGatsby, written in1925, is often referred to as “The Great American Novel", and as the quint essential work which captures the mood of the "Jazz Age". T.S.Eliot read this book several times and commented that it was "the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James".
The Great Gatsby drew a picture of American people pursuing wealth, statute and pleasure of the Jazz Age. In this novel, Fitzgerald expressed that the American dream has been destroyed by the desire for materialism. At the beginning, Gatsby has a pure dream, but he becomes corrupted in his quest towards that dream. In order to fully express his ideas Fitzgerald wisely applies many meaningful symbols to accentuate the story.
In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses symbols wildly, which cleverly depicts the decay of the people’s American Dream. The author expresses his feelings or ideas to the readers by employing many symbolic objects, which are employed to express meanings beyond what may be literally described. These symbols make the story complete and excellent.
In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald is a capable artist, his emotions and feelings are conveyed through colors. Different color symbolisms not only enlivens the characters but also deepens the theme of the novel that can make readers fully and vividly understand the atmosphere in America at that time.
First, the color of white appears many times in this novel. When Daisy and Gatsby meet for the first time, Daisy is dressed in white and she has a little white roadster. On many occasions, she often drives a white car. She even tells others that she has a “white childhood”. This color represents her purity, her innocence, her unperturbed self. However, under the beautiful appearance, Daisy actually has a hollow, grim and selfish heart. White is a kind of color without real color conparing with other colors, so it reveals the emptiness of Daisy as well as Gatsby’s dream.
Second, the color of green, the green light runs through the whole life of Gatsby and it deeply symbolizes the hope, belief and faith of him. Daisy, in some degree, represents his great
dream.Gatsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream. The most obvious interpretation is that the light is symbolic of Gatsby’s longing for Daisy. However, that is too simplistic, Daisy is a part of it , but the green light means much more. It is one of the most important symbols in this novel and can be interpreted in many ways. The green light also means the American Dream itself. Gatsby wants to pursuit of money and material sucess.Each time the green light occurs, it will play a very important role in the process of modeling the protagonist Gatsby.
Third, yellow is also a main symbolic color. It represents the treasure and luxury. Daisy and Tom Buchanan’s house was decorated with reflected gold, Daisy uses a gold pencil,actually she is called “the golden girl”, the two girls in the party wear “twin yellow dresses”, Gatsby’s is yellow......It seems that this society is full of yellow, echoing the sound of the m
The two girls in the party wear “twin yellow dresses”, Doctor T. J. Eckleburg?s spectacles are yellow, the orchestra in the party plays “yellow cocktail music”, Jordon?s arm is gold, and Gatsbys car is yell ow……it seems that this society is full of yellow, echoing the sound of the money. F. Scott Fitzgerald said that, “In Jazz Age, money is the tool to become successful”. For money, people cheat each other, abandon their morality and belief. Yellow is the most glorious color in Jazz Age.
Throughout the novel, places and settings epitomize the various aspects of the 1920s American society that Fitzgerald depicts.
The fist one is the vally of ashes, it resembles something dark and lifeless. It represents the totally destructi on of the “American Dream”, where money is valued above all else including morals such as gold and religion. Thus, the total corruption of the American Dream is symbolically seen in the valley as a pile ashes, watched over by the eyes of Dr. Eckleburg. This can be seen as a punishment from a
higher power that is unhappy with the path that humankind is taking. The vally of ashes also symbolizes the morass of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.
Second, East Egg and West Egg also have symbolic meanings in this novel. East aeagg is the location where the rich people live in, who have family money and prestige, what would be called “old money”. People there move within their own narrow, snobbish socia l circle and feel superior to those who are not member of their priviledged class. Gatsby is the typical of West Eggers. He was born with poverity in North Dakota. The West Eggers will never enter into the exclusive “old money” upper class. So the East Egg symbolizes the fashionable life, sophistication, the modern society and the land where anything can happen. This world is full of brutality, corruption, carelessness, materialism and failure of emotion. In contrast, the West Egg where Nick and Gatsby live represents the American Dream containing a moral existence and basic values. These two “worlds” are in constant conflict throughout the novel.
In The Great Gatsby, by using symbolic images, F. Scott Fitzgerald reveals the contraditiona and inner confilict of the characters as well as displays intelligence and excellent writting skill. The entire story concerns with the effect the roaring age brings to people’s value of being a man, causing the deterioration of morality and running after money even one undeserved. Gatsby deadly accumulated great wealth in illegal way in order to get Daisy’s love, but he didn’t recognize people’s ugly inward -- the greedy to money and mean of kindness, and finally he died with everything lost.

《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
了不起的盖茨比经典台词 1、All the bright, precious things fade so fast, and they don't e back. 所有的光鲜亮丽都敌不过时间并且一去不复返。 2、Tomorrow, we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther, and one fine morning. 明天我们将跑的再快一些，在把手伸长一些，这将是一个美好的黎明。 3、There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired. 世界上只有被追求者和追求者，忙碌者和疲惫者。 4、Tom and Daisy are selfish and cold, they break something else,destroying the lives of others, and finally return to their money. 汤姆和黛西都是自私和冷漠的人，他们打碎别人的东西，破坏别人的生活，最后又躲回自己的金钱里。 5、Everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues,and my virtue is: I am a I have ever known a few honest people. 每个人都认为他自己至少具有一种主要的美德，我的美德是：我是我所结识过的少有的几个诚实人中间的一个。
6、If we have a dream, never wake up, that means:the dream is still a dream? 如果我们做一个梦，一辈子都没有醒，那么，这个梦还是梦么? 7、Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don’t care what it’s founded on. 人们的品行有的好像建筑在坚硬的岩石上，有的好像建筑在泥 沼里，不过超过一定的限度，我就不在乎它建在什么之上了。 8、A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth.人们的善恶感一生下来就有差异。 9、There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired. 世界上只有被追求者和追求者，忙碌者和疲惫者。 10、All things bright and expensive will fade, and never e back. 所有光鲜亮丽及昂贵奢华的事物终将凋谢，并不再回来。 11、So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. 为此，我们将顶住那不停地退回到过去的潮流而奋力向前。 12、He knew if he kissed the girl, he would not describe the vision and her short breath together forever, his mind would never like the mind of God freely.
Pursuit for dreams —after reading The Great Gatsby I 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 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. After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I
菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的盖茨比》，摘录书中比较经典的句子： Chapter 1 1. 每当你觉得想要批评什么人的时候，你切要记着，这个世界上的人并非都具备你禀有的条件。 Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just rember that all the people in this world haven ' thad the advantages that you 've had. 2. 人们的善恶感一生下来就有差异。 A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth. 3. 人们的品行有的好像建筑在坚硬的岩石上，有的好像建筑在泥沼里，不过超过一定的限度，我就不在乎它建在什么之上了。 Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don ' tcare what it ' s founded on.

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

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

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》的文化解读 论文摘要 美国的二十世纪二十年代是个极具研究价值的年代，它处于两次世界大战的交界时期，期间美国经济经历了快速繁荣和崩溃这一戏剧性变化。美国作家菲茨杰拉德在这一时期写出了《了不起的盖茨比》这一脍炙人的巨作，深刻的反映了当时美国人的社会文化。同时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。 研究对象 作为当代大学生，尤其是外语系的学生，了解其他国家的文化是非常必要的。电影能够帮助我们在短时间内了解更多、更有价值、更加实用的其他国家的文化和风俗。通过对《了不起的盖茨比》的深入了解，我们能更好的了解美国的“爵士时代”，同时那些生动形象的画面也会触发我们内在的共鸣。以《了不起的盖茨比》为例，电影与文学作品的结合会是我们了解某些时代的优势手段。
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
