It evokes not only the atmosphere of the jazz-age searching for the American dream of wealth and happiness, but also the deeper questions of the evaporation of traditional values in a society atmosphere where the people was dominated by increasing materialism and cynicism.Early reviews of Gatsby were varied, and comparatively few copies actually had sold before the death of Fitzgerald in 1940. Many critics, most particularly Ernest Hemingway, were put off by the fact that Fitzgerald had been recognized as a writer of stories for fashionable magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post. It was not until a renewal of Fitzgerald’s works in the 1950s that the novel began to evoke serious criticism. For the five subsequent decades, Gatsby has continued to draw critical attention and reappraisal. Critics have praised Fitzge rald’s compactly woven narrative, and many have paying attention on the position of the narrator, Nick Caraway, and the subjective limitations of his interpretation of Gatsby’s saga. Although Gatsby was called “a novel of the Jazz Age” for many years, crit ics have generally acknowledged that it has a much more widespread meaning, not the least of which is a sharp critique to the society of materialist American much like T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land. The appearances of at least four biographies in the 1990s and early 2000s are an suggestion that interest in Fitzgerald’s novels still unabated. Earlier critics of Gatsby emphasized biographical and educational influences on the novel, and formalist approaches dealt with the novel’s composition, point of view, sym bols, use of language, and so on. From the 1980s to the 200s, a diversity of approaches, both heavily theoretical and non-theoretical, has been evident in critics’ remarks. While many have continued to explore biographical power or comparisons with other writers, or to use New Critical analyses, other writers have increasingly used such techniques as deconstruction, feminist criticism, and discourse analysis to expose concealed meanings in the text.Now people still keep reading the great Gatsby. Many people study it though different perspectives, such as the stylistic perception or structuralism,” By using these narrative techniques Fitzgerald makes the reader has the potential to keep some aesthetic distance from the events and the characters in the story.”Most of the critical attention has been on the topic ―American Dream. “The American Dream has eventually becomes decayed with gradual overemphasis on the wealth. Fitzgerald intensely detects the trend of corruption in the 1920’s and gives serious reflection on in his novel The Great Gatsby”“Binary oppositi ons underlie the content of The Great Gatsby, and the pattern of actions structures the narrative of each character. As one picture is seen and appreciated form different perspective, quite different sceneries would be enjoyed. Structuralism opens another window for us.”Besides the excellent method and style in narrative form and arrangement, its marvelous imaginative merit also lies in Fitzgerald’s original and the symbolism was successfully used by author in the novel to depict his view, particularly of his own times. And this thesis studies the symbolism in The Great Gatsby. Symbolism, as a exclusive artistic method, has two vital meanings according to Webster: one is to clarify imperceptible things by using visible symbols; the other is the links and relationship between symbols and meaning. Therefore symbolism in novel aims to present the concealed things and thoughts under phenomena. The using of symbolism plays a important role in the story. The function of symbolism made this work exceed the narrow individual world, making a connection between subjective and objective. Symbolism exceeds the plot, the description and moral significance of the story. The application of symbolism brings the subject of the novels to a new altitude and contributes to its reputation. It was possible to see the connection between the symbols and themes, what the concealed meaning of the story is.本科生毕业论文设计题目论《了不起的盖茨比》中的象征主义作者姓名 XX指导教师 XXX所在学院 XXX学院专业（系）英语教育专业班级（届） XX级英教X完成日期 XXXX 年 5 月 8日On Symbolism in The Great GatsbyBYXXProf. XXXX, TutorA Thesis Submitted to Department of EnglishLanguage and Literature in PartialFulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of B.A. in EnglishAt XXXXUniversityMay 8th,XXX摘要弗•司格特•菲茨杰拉德是20世纪20年代美国杰出的作家，被誉为美国“爵士时代”的代言人和桂冠诗人。
