伟大的盖兹比

Gatsby has a beautiful resume.
Oxford graduates, with many distinguished major officers, are rolling in wealth. He has a super nice place to live; At one side of the house stood a tower, new in the sparse ivy.
Every night he would hold a banquet for people from all over the world.
The world has two things will give people confidence, one is money, two is young. Gatsby has both these two things, he has the world's pride, but his only regret is that five years ago, when he was not rich, he fell in love with Daisy.

Gatsby's parents were farmers and he came from a poor family. Daisy is his achiever and he loves her, so gatsby chooses to squeeze into the upper class for Daisy.
Five years later, when he was successful, Daisy married Tom from the upper class. Gatsby held brightly lit dinners every day to attract Daisy's attention. Daisy's house was across the sea, and the palatial white buildings of the fashionable east egg village shone brightly in the reflection on the water.
Daisy's cousin Nick lives next to gatsby's house. He is moved by gatsby's infatuation, so he visits his distant cousin Daisy whom he has not contacted for a long time and conveys gatsby's thought to her. Daisy always intentionally flirts with gatsby when they meet. Gatsby was dazed by her and naive about the inevitable outcome of the affair.
But the real tragedy begins quietly.
The middle class and the upper class will be loyal to their own class after entering the society, and only those from the lower class will choose to betray their native class. Daisy was no longer the Daisy of old. She could only choose people of the same class because that was her kind.

The things that definitely lit up gatsby's blood were like a dance soaked in poison.
His brightly lit villa was sparkling and his resume was enviable. But the truth is not as touching as he makes it out to be. Gates, who made his fortune in the illegal bootlegging business in New York and whose Oxford degree was a blur, tried to break into the upper class by wrapping himself up like this.
"I have been told that he is thought to have killed a man."
We were all amazed, and the gentleman put his head forward and pricked up his ears.
"I don't think that's the case," Lucille protested disapprovingly. "it's probably because he was a German spy during the war."
One of the three men nodded in agreement.
"I've heard it from someone who knew him well and grew up with him in Germany." He told us without a doubt.
"Oh, no," said the first girl. "that can't be true, because he was in the American army during the war." As we leaned in again to listen to her, she again put her head to the side with interest. "Just look at him when he thinks no one is looking at him. I bet he killed a man."
The guests at the party said this about gatsby. They knew nothing about him. They go to the party just because they think it suits them, but they have no interest in who the host is.
American high society stubbornly adheres to the snobbery of the old aristocracy and despises upstart like gatsby. Material civilization in the United States at that time set off a frenzy storm, when people just chase material civilization, there will be a lot of people to drill the gap, tracing back to the root is that people have no sense of identity, and in the cultural background without the existence of faith, can only rely on the weak identity of class existence to resist the outsider.
At that time, the allocation of resources in the United States was not based on class division. Before the rules were formed, gatsby blindly entered the upper class society, and with his money and the oppression that money brought to him when he had no money, he stumbled into the tragic story until the end.
Sympathy? May not. After the re-integration of resources, the educational resources brought to poor families are divided according to the urban and family abilities, and there will be negative effects brought by unfair division of resources, including vision, ability cultivation, quality cultivation and character cultivation.
Capital contributed to America's economic prosperity, which inevitably led to the hedonism of extravagance and the materialism of spiritual emptiness, while hedonism and materialism were the corrosive influences of protestant ethics.

After Daisy met gatsby and recognized the label of upper society packaged by gatsby, she compared Tom who had a lover outside with gatsby who was deeply in love with her. She probably fell in love with gatsby again.
Then they went to New York together. Tom blamed gatsby for his family trouble and scolded gatsby for making a lot of money by selling alcohol. Daisy doubts the identity of gatsby. Gatsby gets in a car with Daisy and Nick goes back to long island with them.
However, Daisy was so excited that she killed Tom's mistress martell in gatsby's car on her way home. She drove away in a hurry after the accident.
Wilson, martell's husband, found the car at gatsby's house and thought it was him who killed his wife. Wilson sneaked into gatsby's villa, killed gatsby as he was swimming, and then shot himself in the grass.
After the murder, Nick called Daisy, but she and Tom took their luggage and left early for a trip to Europe. Daisy neither sent a telegram nor a wreath. None of the friends who had been drinking and drinking together came to gatsby's funeral, only his old father and Nick...
Gatsby paid a high price for a dream he held for a long time.
This story resembles a sad fairy tale, the bubble that is setting phnom penh, the impotence that is carrying teenager to face this world blatant with flashy.
It was the last dirge of the jazz age.

Indulging in the illusion of consumerism, gatsby constructed a false and weak collage identity based on imagination. All his actions are to construct a different class of self, and his actions are his exploration and answer to the question "who am I?".
There is a very famous theory: the mirror image theory. It is at this stage that the infant first perceives himself as he sees himself in the mirror. Until then, babies have not established a sense of self. From the mirror stage, infants establish the opposition between "self" and "others".
In other words, babies are not aware of who they are until they recognize who they are in a mirror. The eyes of "others" are also a mirror for the baby to know "self". "others" continuously send constraint signals to "self". In the eyes of others, babies internalize mirror images into "selves."
In gatsby's experience, the expanding substance has created the class where he arrogates beyond his controllable category. In this arrogation process, he took the division between "self" and "others" as a journey. Gatsby did not anticipate that he packaged "others" as "self" and internalized them as part of himself, but he did not anticipate the factors of The Times and pursued a life full of a sense of futility.
Is it really his fault? If the cycle of cultural development reaches its peak, it will show real singing and dancing. However, under the hypocrisy of education popularization and the perfection of ideal shaping, we have never seen real singing and dancing.
The tragedy of this work lies in that gatsby has a tragic ending bestowed on him by the world, but he is a kind man.
And this is the classic part of this work. It tells us that kindness has no privilege to distinguish itself from other qualities, and that identity has advantages to distinguish itself from other existence. It can even eliminate kindness.
In an age where indoctrination is lacking and education prevails, there is bound to be a lot of hypocrisy. Knowledge and action are not the same but still the wind and water, the promotion is to inhibit, inhibit is the urgent need to change.
Unfortunately, because he lived in an age of hypocrisy, his bigotry and one-sided goodness had to be buried in uncivilized causality.

A true hero is one who knows the darkness of life and still loves it. Gatsby has seen the materialization of Daisy, but he still chooses to be a "fool" and he still has one last expectation for Daisy.
Even if all is false, the era passed, there will still be something left.
And I think what's left is probably what the work begins with:
When I was young and inexperienced, my father taught me a lesson I still remember.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in the world don't have the advantages that you have."
Once he chooses to kiss that girl, he will not be as free as god. Smart as he must know, but he still committed to go in, so he is great
