背景设置中象征手法的运用
• 《了不起的盖茨比》中最明显的一处象征就是位于豪门巨 室之间的灰烬谷和那幅画着一位医生的大眼睛的广告牌。 灰烬谷是这批富豪精神生活的写照,一切都是灰蒙蒙的,没 有光明。 • 同时作者戏剧性地安排灰烬谷的守卫者威尔森是杀死盖茨 比的凶手。正是通过对细节的精心刻画向我们展示了威尔 森是盖茨比梦想的破灭者并最终也化为灰烬。在灰烬谷上 方是埃克勒伯格大夫的一双眼睛,这双眼睛一直注视着面 前发生的一切,若有所思,却无能为力。 • 美国梦一方面,在美国大陆这片充满机遇的土地上,人人都 可以发财致富,反映了人们对物质财富的追求。另一方面, 美国梦也指人们对美好精神生活的追求,这种美好生活可 以概括为道德完善、充满生机和希望的生活。
人物的象征意义——尼克 Nike
• 尼克以叙述者的身份出现,在小说中起着举足轻重的作用。这种叙述 方式使小说中异乎寻常的主角盖茨比变得真实可信。 • 尼克在小说中是个中心人物,他和主人公盖茨比之间既有相通之处,也 有差异。盖茨比热情、好冲动,充满浪漫的幻想;尼克冷静客观,富于 理智的判断。 • 尼克既在故事内,又在故事外,既体现了小说的声音,也体现了作者的 声音。因此,尼克最能做出对其他人物的道德评判,他能站在理性的高 度去观察发生的一切。 • 尼克不像汤姆,汤姆在任何情况下都能在纽约这块精神沙漠上生存;也 不像盖茨比,盖茨比盲目地相信达到了物质上的满足就能达到生活上 的满足,他深爱着黛西,追求幻想般的梦想,怀揣不现实的理想。 • 尼克代表了传统的道德规范。作者在他身上寄托了一线希望之光,希 望他不会成为又一个盖茨比,希望他寻找到一条出路。我们可以从尼 克那里看到希望,因为整个社会还有道德存在,社会还不是一团糟。所 以,尼克所代表的社会中的道德规范是必不可少的。

Hemingway saw a democratic world where people were measured by their ability, not by what they owned. Fitzgerald saw the deep differences
between groups of people that money creates. He decided to be among the rich.
