Reflections on the Great Gatsby

The protagonist in the Great Gatsby has been looking for the green light in his life. Green light is the beautiful ornament of his humble life, the source of his passion and hope. We are all drifting in this world. The world is full of desire, desire is full of temptation. Along the way, we will be lost, will fall into the empty and dark cage, lost the original heart, looking for nothingness. Only when we fall can we know the value of the green light. Ma Yun once said that today is cruel, tomorrow is more cruel, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but many people will die tomorrow night. Maybe it's the green light that guides us all the way. With its guidance and faith, we can make the night bright

   itzgerald indulged in luxury life, at the same time, he made extreme satire on the upper class. This kind of contradiction is very creative. This contradiction makes Fitzgerald's rich imagination get the most thorough release in the strong self confrontation. He describes Gatsby's crazy life with humorous style, and the fate of the hero is full of absurd comic color.

Gatsby has a glorious love and is willing to do his best for love and is persistent in pursuit. Even for the sake of love, he used dirty means to make money to love the bourgeois lady better. In this process, he always kept his original dream, which has never changed. Even if the dream is broken in the end. The preface of the first chapter talks about a lot of historical background. In fact, the cohesion of the content of the article is not enough. It has nothing to do with the American dream, love, and the experience of Westerners in the eastern part of the United States. It is only about youth, dreams and the failure and courage to pursue dreams. However, there is no compromise in this. It is still that we continue to forge ahead and sail against the current

The mode of "triangle love" is common in the history of Chinese and foreign novels. A couple in love, due to the intervention of a wealthy third party, broke up, resulting in tragedy, not a few. Wuthering Heights, the masterpiece of the 19th century British novelist Emily Bronte, is an example. However, in the works of gifted writers, the ordinary mode of a romantic novel has been changed into a drama and scene of a "noble barbarian" suffering the most deeply, and a tragedy of "love is suffering".

The charm of the Great Gatsby lies in its simple story, ordinary characters and honesty. It does not have vanity to describe the more magnificent crowd, does not carry the writing of historical sense, such a simple story environment, appropriately depicts the vanity and human nature. When we see the upstart Gatsby asking himself whether he is successful or trustworthy again and again, and his only purpose of becoming a upstart is to recapture the woman he loves, Fitzgerald, a native of Washington, finally firmly stands on Gatsby's side. Compared with those celebrities with bright life but empty and indifferent heart, Gatsby's self questioning and simplicity make western farmers feel warm and firm, and bring hope, because he has completed his dream and generously shared his dream with others.
