The Great Gatsby
张芷君
This book is about love between an obsessive man and a money
worshiper. Gatsby spent his whole life pursuing love. His was a great
person but abandoned by the whole world. His dream was bound to
fail,just like the American dream. So the true meaning of this novel is
the destruction of the American dream. The book has reflected the
hopeless situation in New York in the 1920s. America is going towards
decline, and numerous American dreams had been broken. The lower class
and the middle class had no opportunities to change their origins and
their endings. Everyone is addicted to alcohol and money. Therefore,
tragedy is inevitable. Just like the last sentence in the book
said:"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back
ceaselessly into the past". But from my point of view,Gatsby's
pursuit and persistence of pure love is worthy of our admiration.
