After reading "The Great Gatsby",I feel a lot about the tragic fate of this innocent man.
Gatsby used to be a young officer who was "wearing a worn-out green sweatshirt and a pair of canvas pants on the beach" and "poor, but he could continue to wear military uniforms because he couldn’t afford a casual dress". With a sincere and enthusiastic heart, passionate and affectionate, he was infatuated with Daisy.And soon, they fell in love with each other.However the First World War separated them.When he came back,Daisy has got married to the rich boy Tom.In order to change Daisy's mind,he worked hard and earn a lot of money.But love can't be estimated with money.Daisy did not love him, but she is greedy for his money.At last,Daisy killed someone and ran away.He was sentenced to death in place of her.
The root cause of the Gatsby's tragedy is the high-speed social rhythm and the social atmosphere of quick success, and the American dream born in this context.The distorted society created his wrong values; the wrong values drove him to do the wrong thing and was persistent with the wrong person; eventually resulted in a tragic ending.
This is not only a tragedy of a person, but also a tragedy of an era. The author has created a brave and inspirational youth, and has broken his dreams and perseverance to us.
