开题报告论文题目The Disillusion of the American Dream in Great Gatsby《了不起的盖茨比》中美国梦的破灭学生:季旋旋指导教师:雷卿指导单位:外国语学院1课题来源Francis Scott Fitzgerald 是美国爵士时代的代言人,而《了不起的盖茨比》自1925年发表以来就赢得了普通读者和文学评论界的关注,因为这部小说形象生动的捕捉到了美国二十年代“爵士乐时代”嘈杂的气氛,一跃成为那个时代美国历史的最佳形象代言人。
因为我对美国的爵士乐特别感兴趣,所以找到了关于这方面的文学作品,进而发现二十年代的美国梦与爵士时代有着不可分割的联系,于是对美国梦产生了浓厚的兴趣。
2研究目的和意义2.1 目的:二十世纪二十年代的美国经历了表面的经济繁荣,其背后其实隐藏着巨大的经济危机,经济的表面繁荣和商业的发展使人们的美国梦遭到扭曲,他们认为金钱可以买到一切,只要你拥有了财富,那么你就一定可以得到一切你想要的东西。
从一战到三十年代的经济危机,美国的青年盲目狂热地追求着美国梦,最后他们的梦都破灭了,盖茨比也不是个例外。
菲茨杰拉德在《了不起的盖茨比》里生动的刻画出了一个普通人“美国梦”的形成到破灭的故事,而菲茨杰拉德自己的一生也是一个破灭的“美国梦”。
时至今日,一代又一代的人们仍然追寻着属于他们自己的“美国梦”。
2.2 意义:“美国梦”是美国文学作品中一个反复出现的主题,即每个人都可以通过自己的努力达到成功。
美国梦作为美国文学中永恒的主题,始终贯穿于美国文学中,菲茨杰拉德所处的时代正是美国社会最为纵乐绚丽的时代上层社会贪图享乐,而美国梦也在此刻变得虚幻。
《了不起的盖茨比》被公认为菲茨杰拉德最好的作品,文章通过社会、历史及人物特点的分析,揭示那个时代美国梦破灭的必然性。

从心理学出发,解读《了不起的盖茨比》是近年来学者的研究趋势。
学者以小说的社会背景与人物行为为根据,对主要角色进行心理分析,从而解释人物的行为动因与人物悲剧性的结局。
以下是从心理学研究本小说的几个主要方面。
第一,在心理分析的研究中,许多学者都从小说主角逃避现实,拥抱过去这个角度来解释主角的行为。
学者从人物追忆过去这一心理特征出发,分别分析主要人物(盖茨比,黛西和尼克)的行为模式和其导致的后果。
通过研究怀旧心理的成因和本质,阐述小说社会背景的特性和人物悲剧性的结局。
在这方面的研究中,学者并没有过多的根据心理学理论解释追忆过去这种心理状态,更多的是从文本出发,以人物的行为解释这种心理的形成和表现。
这种心理状态几乎体现在小说的所有角色身上,因此它是具有共性的,代表着生活在“爵士时代”的美国一代人的生活状态。
通过研究人物追忆过去的心理特征,读者可以更清晰地了解小说主旨,感受当时社会的气息。
第二,还有学者从精神生态这一角度分析《了不起的盖茨比》中的人物形象以及他们在当时的社会背景下所呈现出来的精神状态。
精神生态学研究的是个体思想和外部环境的生态。
心灵拜物化,精神荒原化,道德空白化,存在疏离化是精神生态研究的几个方向。
从精神生态学分析《了不起的盖茨比》,学者大多不对各个角色分别分析,而是从大环境出发,研究角色的共性。
小说的背景是美国一战后资本不断积累的二十年代,时代的特点必定体现在小说的角色中。
通过精神生态的研究,读者能更了解“爵士时代”美国社会的精神生态,同时对现代中国社会也起到了警示作用。
第三,从人格心理学分别分析小说中人物的性格也是一个研究方向。
在这方面的研究中,学者大多从盖茨比,尼克和黛西三个角色出发,分别分析其性格形成。
从人格心理学研究的学者并不局限于一位心理学家的理论,而是通过不同时期不同心理学家的理论来解释每个角色的性格。
对于盖茨比这个角色的研究,相关的心理学理论主要集中在早期的心理学理论,例如弗洛伊德的“本我”,“超我”和“自我”理论,还有阿德勒个体心理学中的“社会兴趣”理论;对尼克的研究,相关的心理学理论主要是马斯洛的人本心理学,“约拿情结”,这个出现在优秀个体中的心理情结,常常被套用在尼克身上;而对于黛西的研究,精神分析理论的原始生命力是研究的主要理论。
了不起的盖茨比读书报告第一篇:了不起的盖茨比读书报告“The American Dream”reflected in The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald.The first time I finished reading it, I treated it as a love tragic story.Gatsby’s love for Daisy was so deep that he loved her for so many years and finally died because of her.However, it is a pity that Daisy was a fickle, shallow girl who only loved money, ease and material luxuty.I feel s orry for Gatsby’s love for a unworthy girl.In fact, the novel involves a much larger and less romantic scope.I came to realize it after knowing more about F.Scott Fitzgerald’s works and the background of the story.The Great Gatsby actually symbolized the disillusion of the American Dream.It shows a vivid picture of the 1920’s with its surface prosperity and underlying sadness.The 1920’s is a decade when Americans worship money and ease of life instead of the original American Dream that dreaming of a better, richer and happier life for all citizens of every rank.The tragedy of Gatsby is an example of the failure of the American Dream.It can be analyzed from people’s pursuit of money, status and love.Money was of great importance during that period of time.It can be found from every aspect of people’s life.Firstly, money was a necessity for love and marriage.Gatsby was penniless when Daisy fell in love with him.They could not get married without money.Thus, Gatsby left to make money for his love.However, Daisy didn’t wait for him but married Tom, an arrogant, hypocritical man who had no moral qualms but money.From it we can see that Daisy chose money, not love.Secondly, people can do anything for money.For example, in order to make money, Gatsby chose to smugglealcohol and do other criminal activities.These activities were of high risks, but Gatsby was willing to do them for money.Thirdly, money was more important than family kinship.At the funeral of Gatsby, his father didn’t show much sorrow for his son’s dea th, but were more proud of his son’s wealth.In his eye’s, money was more important than his son.Finally, money could make a normal person a celebrity.At the beginning of the novel, the author spent a lot of ink to describe the gorgeous mansion Gatsby lived, the luxurious car he owned, and the grand parties he held.These things made Gatsby popular in the town and these things all came from money.From above it can be concluded that money was the very pursuit of people in that period of time.Status was also a very important thing people try to pursue.Firstly, it can be reflected from Gatsby’s love for Daisy.Why did Gatsby loved Daisy but not other girls? This was because to Gatsby, Daisy represented 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.All her characters were endowed by her status.Secondly, in the novel, the town was divided into East Egg and West Egg.People like Daisy and Tom lived on the East Egg presented American aristocracy(families with old wealth), and people like Gatsby lived in the West Egg presented newly rich industrialists and speculators.Fitzgerald portrays the newly rich as being vulgar, gaudy, ostentatious, and lacking in social graces and taste.Gatsby, for example, lives in a monstrously ornate mansion, wears a pink suit, drives a Rolls-Royce, and does not pick up on subtle social signals, such as the insincerity of the Sloanes’ invitation to lunch.In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste, subtlety, and elegance, epitomized by the Buchanans’ tastefulhome and the flowing white dresses of Daisy and Jordan Baker.Thus, it can be concluded that the newly rich admired the aristocracy’s status.Gatsby’s pursuit for Daisy also reflecte d the American Dream.Daisy was beautiful, charmingand grace, but she was also shallow, bored and sardonic.In reality, therefore, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals.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 attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address.With the pursuits corrupted, Gatsby's American dream is inevitably doomed.Gatsby died in line with the disillusionment of the American Dream.Furthermore,Gatsby is merely a typical representative of the thousands of Americans in 1920s.Through the archetypal story of Gatsby, Fitzgerald tells us that the distorted and perverted American dream in 1920s is doomed a disillusionment. 第二篇:了不起的盖茨比读书报告2104070593 2010级王丹Book ReportThis semester, I read a book which is named The Great Gatsby.The Great Gatsby was published in 1922 by F.Scott Fitzgerald.At first glance, the novel appears to be a simple love story, but further examination reveals Fitzgerald's masterful scrutiny of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream.The author is F.Scott Fitzgerald.Francis 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 schooland 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 was the most famous chronicler of 1920s America, an era that he dubbed “the Jazz Age.” Written in 1925, The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest literary documents of this period, in which the American economy soared, bringing unprecedented levels of prosperity to the nation.Prohibition, the ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment to theConstitution(1919), made millionaires out of bootleggers, and an underground culture of revelry sprang up.He published the novel Tender is the Night, Paradise, The Last Giant and so on.Published over 160 short novels, for example Benjamin's Fantasy Trip, Ice Palace, Winter Dream, Sensible.Back to Babylon and so on.In the 81st Oscar Awards ceremony got three Oscar-winning films Benjamin Button is based on his short novel Benjamin's Fantasy Trip adaptation.The twentieth century, the United States academic community selected 100 the best novels in the river of English literature.The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night are the list.And The Great Gatsby is second.The Great Gatsby shows us a vivid picture of the 1920s with its superficial prosperity and underlying sadness.The failure of American dream and the crisis of value are well reflected in characters and the details of the novel.In The Great Gatsby,Fitzgerald skillfully employed the contrastive techniques in terms of scenes,characters as well as dream and reality.These techniques not only deepen the tragic theme, but also imparted the text abrand-new interpretation and profound artistic glamour.The novel is told us the story of Gatsby by Nick’ tone.Nick is tired of his hometown’ life and came to New York.Rent a small house in the suburb of West Egg.He is Daisy's cousin.The Gatsby is his neighbor, living in luxurious Gatsby mansion.He and Daisy love each other when Gatsby was young.But because of his poor family they were broken up.Then he joined the First World War.While Daisy married torich Kids T om.Five years later, Daisy and her family move to the West from Chicago.Nick started have close contacts with them.Gatsby accumulated great wealth throughillegal means in the five years.Follow Daisy came to New York.Opposite Daisyhome he bought the villa-Gatsby Mansion.In order to attract married Daisy to meet.He held a large part at the villa every weekend.Vain hope to arouse the lost lovebetween them.An occasional opportunity let Gatsby knew that Nick is Daisy's cousin.Asked him arrange a meeting with Daisy.Then they often make date.He gradually found Daisy's vanity, vulgar and selfish.Gatsby's pink dream finally has been broken, but he still insisted it.Still retain any illusion about Daisy, and even lead to histragedies.One day Daisy was in a drunken driving Gatsby's car ran over and caused an accident that killed Tom's mistress.And plan a plot with Tom and cruel to put the blame on Gatsby.Resulting in the victim's husband suddenly burst into the house and shot Gatsby.The murderer eventually also killed himself.And Daisy and Tom were traveling to Europe.Only Gatsby's poor father and Nick attend at the funeral.The story ends up with the Gatsby become victim for selfish and cruel ofDaisy.The story begins in 1920s –was named by “jazz” and “money” era.The novel use Nick’ tones tell the story.Happened as if is Nick’ experience.It is use a unique literary vision and new performance style profoundly revealed the burst reason about American Dream at Jazz and Money Age.After war The US economic prosperity age, the life style trends to money worship are expressed most vividly.But it was under the cover of the selfishness and indifference of human nature.The reason why are Gatsby great because he was sincere and persistent waiting for and pursuing his love at heart.When the social is popular that people indulging pleasure and pride luxury.However, in material-driven environment, whether it is Gatsby, Daisy or Tom.They pursuit, devotion and transfer for love are close linked to money and status.The Great Gatsby is ranked second in the Modern Library’s list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.But everyone has the different criteria on good books.One point of good books is, I think, when you eat it the taste is what you need.The good books tell you clearly something that lurks in your brain dimly.So you will feel very good if you resonate with the character in books.Another point of good books is, after you have eaten it the taste is so good that you want to eat it again.The good book is amusing and thought inspiring.The Great Gatsby also has a lot of puns and symbolisms.Finally, I h ope everyone can be himself.Don’t lose your spirit.As far as I amconcerned even though you love someone, you should not accommodate yourself to him or her too much.Just be yourself.Only if he or her love you sincerely can you have a happy life in the future.第三篇:了不起的盖茨比读书报告A Book Report of The Great GatsbyBy Li LiF.Scott Fitzgerald.The

论文题目(中) 浅析《了不起的盖茨比》中象征手法的运用 论文题目(英) On Symbols in The Great Gatsby 指导教师 周梅 教师签名 论文工作计划简述(开题报告内容) 一、选题的背景及意义 菲茨杰拉德是美国文坛的杰出小说家,《了不起的盖茨比》是他的代表作。象征主义是19 世纪中后期在欧美现代文学中产生的一个重要流派,作家在文艺术作品中用象征的方法暗示作品的思想以及抽象的事物或哲理,把抽象的事物具体化,正如著名作家南帆在他的《小说的象征模式》一文中给象征的定义:“象征是以特定的具体形象表现或暗示某种观念,哲理或情感。在小说《了不起的盖茨比》中,菲茨杰拉德也通过象征形象而生动地向读者展现了美国20 世纪20 年代的社会风貌,表达了自己的思想,揭示了“美 国梦”幻灭的主题。 二、选题相关的国内外研究和发展概况 美国从诞生到现在两百多年的时间,但却产生了大量的著作,这些著作对世界艺术产生了深远的影响。在这些著作中,美国梦是当今社会科学研究的热点。但是这些作品大部分都停留在研究美国的社会生活,社会问题层面上,没有人能全面的研究美国梦的从始至今。目前从《了不起的盖茨比》看美国梦的幻灭研究现状范围有:王宏丹《茨>的精神生态解读》,2010;刘邱《论〈了不起的盖茨比>中黛西的塑造》,2010;陈明真《解构视野下的〈了不起的盖茨比>》,2009;刘丽《对的叙事分析》,2008;孟庆娟《色彩和时间的背后-—论2007;罗晓燕《从女性主义视角解读》,2006;甘园园《〈了不起的盖茨比〉的文体学研究》,2006;郭华《寻找失去的乐园:对〈了不起的盖茨比>的原 2

《了不起的盖茨比》中房子意象的隐喻意义研究的开题报告一、研究背景及意义:《了不起的盖茨比》是20世纪美国文学的经典之一,小说中的房子意象是一种强烈的隐喻手法。
在小说中,房子不仅作为人物的居所,更重要的是它所具有的隐喻意义。

宗教化与世俗化:《了不起的盖茨比》中两种不同
的爱情观的开题报告
宗教化与世俗化在文学作品中一直是一个重要的主题。
在《了不起的盖茨比》中,作者以两种不同的爱情观来探讨这一主题,并展现出爱情在现代社会中的不同形态。
一种是像传统宗教一样神秘和纯净的爱情观,另一种则是生活中现实而且被社会习俗所束缚的爱情观。
在小说中,盖茨比对黛西的爱情被视作一种宗教化的爱情观。
他认为只要他能拥有黛西,就会拥有完美的幸福。
他的爱情不仅仅是对黛西单纯的喜爱,而是视她为人类的神经中心。
这种爱情被描绘成一种神圣的、超越物质世界的升华。
然而,小说中描写盖茨比和黛西关系的部分却透露出了这种爱情观的虚幻和不切实际性。
另一方面,汤姆和黛西之间的关系则代表了一种世俗化的爱情观。
这种爱情观是通过一些实际的行为和物质上的享受来实现的,比如汤姆让黛西住在一个奢华的房子里,送给她昂贵的首饰。
这种爱情观被描绘成一种生活的现实和必需,它与社会习俗融为一体。
总之,《了不起的盖茨比》通过展现两种不同的爱情观,向读者们表达了现代社会中爱情与社会习俗相互影响的情况。
这种影响导致了人们的爱情观从原本神圣的状态走向了世俗化的状态,表现在人们实现爱情幸福的方式不同。

《了不起的盖茨比》中盖茨比的梦想及其悲剧成因
的开题报告
《了不起的盖茨比》是一部极具时代感和现代主义风格的小说,讲述了爱情、财富、虚伪和欲望等过去美国社会的现实主义问题。
本文主要探讨小说中的主人公盖茨比所追求的梦想以及其悲剧成因。
盖茨比的梦想是重建与黛西的爱情关系,并通过财富和社会地位来促成这一目标。
然而,他的梦想最终以悲剧收场。
盖茨比的悲剧成因可以从以下几个方面分析:
首先,盖茨比的梦想建立在虚假的基础上。
他通过伪造身份和过去来改变自己的形象,追求财富和权力。
然而,这些虚假的东西最终没有带来真正的幸福,只是让他更加孤独和失望。
其次,盖茨比的追求过于狂热,失去了理智。
他将黛西看作是自己的全部,甚至妄想可以改变过去,让两人回到从前。
这种狂热追求最终导致他不惜一切代价去追求黛西,包括牺牲自己的生命。
最后,盖茨比未能真正理解黛西和现实社会的本质。
他对黛西的理解太过片面,只看重她的外表和自己对她的情感。
同时,他也对现实社会的虚伪和欲望缺乏了解,错把人性的阴暗面和骗术当成现实。
综上所述,盖茨比的梦想以及悲剧成因是小说中的重要主题之一。
通过对盖茨比的追求和悲剧的探讨,作者强调了现实社会中欲望和虚伪所带来的负面影响,警示读者不要被虚伪的外表所迷惑,更要珍惜人与人之间的真实情感。
