Gatsby:Yale,Princeton,Columbia,Harvard,OxfordRay C.Fair∗November2000AbstractWhere did Fitzgerald get the idea of having Clay’s Economics reside in Nick Carraway’s library?F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is one of the classics of American lit-erature.I,like many,first read it in high school.A recent re-read,however,with the mature eyes of an economist,led me to the following passage,which I had somehow overlooked in my earlier days.While Jay Gatsby nervously awaited the arrival of Daisy in Nick Carraway’s house,helooked with vacant eyes through a copy of Clay’s Economics(Fitzgerald(1925,p.89)).Clay’s Economics is an introductory economics text, written by the British economist Henry Clay,and this bit of free advertising piqued∗Cowles Foundation and

Jennifer Nou and Emily Oster for superb research assistance,Billy Hitchcock for permission to examine his father’s record at Harvard,and many helpful librarians at the colleges listed in the paper’s title.It was Jennifer Nou’s idea to pursue the Tommy Hitchcock link,which alas led to no smoking gun.my interest as a textbook author.How did Fitzgerald happen to choose Clay’s Economics to reside in Nick’s library?In The Great Gatsby Nick is a Yale man,graduating in1915.Since economic texts are seldom purchased for leisure reading,one might conclude that Fitzgerald meant Clay’s Economics to be the text that Nick used at Yale.So is it likely that Nick could have used Clay’s text at Yale?According toYale catalogs of the time,in the academic years1913-1914,1914-1915,and1915-1916the head instructor of introductory economics at Yale was Irving Fisher.Fisher wrote his own introductory text.Thefirst published edition was in1915,but in the preface to this edition Fisher mentions two experimental editions that“gave opportunity for thorough trial for two years in classrooms at Yale,under nearly a dozen different instructors”(Fisher(1915,p.xv)).Fisher goes on to say that prizes were awarded to undergraduates with the best criticisms, and he lists six students who won prizes between1912and1914.Nick was not listed as a prize winner,possibly because he was not a real person.One of the Yale introductory instructors along with Fisher was Fred Rogers Fairchild.Beginning in the1916-1917academic year,Fisher no longer taught in the course but Fairchild stayed on.In1924Fairchild published a text with Edgar Stevenson Furniss and Norman Sydney Buck,which was then used for many years atYale.AroundYale,“Fairchild,Furniss,and Buck”became famous.I even heard mention of this book when I came toYale in1974.In the preface to the1924edition, dated August1924,the authors state that“For some years past,our principal texts in the Elementary Economics course atYale College have been Fisher’s Elementary Principles of Economics,and Taussig’s Principles of Economics,and we wish to2acknowledge the profound influence which the writings of these two economists have had upon our work”(Fairchild,Furniss,and Buck(1924,p.vii)).F.W.Taussig was a professor at Harvard,and his text wasfirst published in1911(Taussig(1911)).There is no mention of Clay’s Economics in any of this material,and so it is quite unlikely that it was used as a text at Yale and thus that Nick could have used it.Perhaps a more compelling reason Nick could not have used Clay is that the book was not even published until1916(the American edition in1919),whereas Nick graduated Yale in1915.Fitzgerald,however,was notoriously bad at dates, and if Clay had been used at Yale in the early1920’s,one could pass Fitzgerald’s error off as a minor timing problem.But,alas,the problem is more than one of timing.For as indicated above,Yale moved seamlessly from Fisher and Taussig to the famous Fairchild,Furniss,and Buck.If Clay were not used as a text at Yale,what was Fitzgerald’s source?Fitzger-ald,unlike Nick,was a Princeton man,although he never graduated.Fitzgerald attended Princeton from September1913until January3,1916,when he was forced to withdraw.He reentered in September1916and withdrew in November 1917for army service.Fitzgerald’s Princeton course record shows that he took no economics courses,and so he clearly did not use Clay himself.However,many of Fitzgerald’s classmates undoubtedly took introductory economics,and if Clay were used at Princeton,Fitzgerald may have heard about Clay in this way.A search of the Princeton archives revealed that between1914and1918the head of the introductory economics course was Frank Albert Fetter.Fetter had written an economics text as early as1905,Principles of Economics with Applications to Practical Problems,and his text Economics was published in1915.Various3versions of Fetter’s text were undoubtedly used at Princeton while Fitzgerald was there,and there is no evidence in the Princeton archives that Clay was ever used.Having ruled out both Yale and Princeton as sources for the Clay citation,I moved to the period in which Fitzgerald wrote the book.Fitzgerald lived in Great Neck,New York,from mid-October1922to April1924.He began writing The Great Gatsby in June1923.In May1924he sailed to France,where he completed thefirst draft in the summer and fall of1924.He heavily revised and rewrote the galleys in Rome in January and February1925,particularly chapters VI,VII, and VIII.1There is no record of what parts of the book were written in NewYork and what parts in France.It seems likely,however,that the passage about Clay’s Economics was written in NewYork,since it occurs about half way through the book(Chapter V).Fitzgerald’s hand written copy of the manuscript has survived,and there is no sign of any hesitation(e.g.,crossing out or adding words)in the writing of this passage.2Also,the passage was not revised from this hand written copy and not from any of the surviving galleys..If Fitzgerald wrote of Clay’s Economics while in New York,it is possible that one of his NewYork friends told him about Clay.Fitzgerald was notoriously social and attended many parties.Ifirst turned to Columbia.The American edition of Clay has a copyright date of1919,and it was prepared by Eugene E.Agger.In the preface to this edition,dated May1918,Agger notes that the British edition of Clay’s book had been adopted by a number of college teachers of economics,1Tate(1998),pp.100-101.2Bruccoli(1973),p.127.4and he discusses that his primary contribution was to change many of the British examples to American ones.Agger’s affiliation is listed as Columbia University. The Columbia College catalogs between1916and1926show that Agger was one of the teachers in the introductory economics course except for the academic year 1919-1920.It thus seems likely that in the1920-1926period the American edition of Clay’s book was used at Columbia by Agger.Although many Columbia students may have been exposed to Clay’s Eco-nomics,a search of Fitzgerald’s friends and neighbors at the time turned up no one who had Columbia ties.3It is possible that at one of the many New York parties attended by Fitzgerald some Columbia man told him about Clay,but how often do cocktail party topics turn to economics texts?The search of Fitzgerald’s friends came up with an interesting lead,Tommy Hitchcock.Hitchcock was one of Fitzgerald’s closest friends in New York and later became an investment banker with Lehman Brothers.Born into a wealthy family in1900,Hitchcock was a military aviator hero in World War I and was one of America’s greatest polo players.Fitzgerald listed the glamour of Hitchcock as one of the sources for Chapter I of The Great Gatsby.4Hitchcock attended Harvard from1919to1922.Perhaps Hitchcock used Clay at Harvard.Hitchcock’s Harvard record,however,shows that he took no economics courses,despite his eventual career as an investment banker.Also,there is no evidence in the Harvard archives that Harvard ever used Clay.The archives indicate that Taussig’s text was used at Harvard in this period.3Some of Fitzergald’s more interesting Great Neck neighbors included Ring Lardner,W.P. Chrysler,Basil Rathbone,George M.Cohan,and Groucho Marx.4Tate(1998),p.119.5But Hitchcock’s Harvard record also shows that he spent the1920-1921aca-demic year at Oxford,where Clay was teaching at the time!Did Hitchcock have contact with Clay at Oxford?Clay was a member of New College,and the Oxford archives indicate that Clay taught a Special Subject(one of the three sections of thefinal examination in Modern History)entitled“The Relations of Capital and Labour”during thefirst two terms of the1920-1921academic year.Hitchcock was a member of Brasenose,where his father had been a member in1880-1884. His tutor is listed as Michael Holroyd,an ancient historian.The only letter in his Oxfordfile is one of July1921,where he requests the return of his caution money since he will not be returning.As exciting as this lead is,there is nofirm evidence that Hitchcock and Clay ever had contact with each other.Having found only a tenuous link between Hitchcock and Clay,I moved to a closer look at Clay.Before coming to Oxford,Clay was a lecturer at the Work-ers’Educational Tutorial Classes in England,which were night school classes for working men.This may have been the source of the idea of writing an economics text for the general reader.In the summer of1921there was a program at Bryn Mawr called“Summer School for Women Workers in Industry.”This program was written about in the May18,1921,issue of The New Republic,then,as now,a well known New York publication.The article reports that“Every student must study English composition in connection with work done in other courses.Hygiene and physiology,public speaking,and the history of the earth are also required…The organizers of the school have been fortunate in having in the establishment of their teaching policy and curriculum,the help of Mr.Henry Clay of New College, Oxford,who has consented also to teach in the school for several weeks.His6experience in the workers’education classes in England—where adult education is far more advanced than in America—will be invaluable to the Bryn Mawr school, as the most difficult problem any labor school has to face is the actual teaching of a mixed industrial group with uneven academic preparation.”(p.338)About a year later(June28,1922)Clay was again mentioned in The New Republic—in the context of a review by Ordway Tead of Lionel D.Edie’s,Prin-ciples of the New Economics.Tead writes:“The growing dissatisfaction with the conventional treatment of the abstractions—of value,marginal utility,supply and demand—without relation to the facts of current business operation is well attested by the recent interest in a new economics that business men,no less than the required student,will be attracted to read.Marshall and Lyon’s Our Economic Organization is a decidedly significant straw showing the current drift.So also in a less degree is Clay’s Economics for the General Reader.And so also is Professor Edie’s book.”(p.142).Tead was one of the original faculty members of The New School of Social Research,founded in1919.As it happens,one of Fitzgerald’s closest friends and advisors was Edmund Wilson,also a Princeton man.Wilson began writing for The New Republic in 1921and was named associate editor in1926.For example,in the April20,1921, issue,about a month before the Bryn Mawr article,Wilson wrote an article entitled “Books and Things.”(pp.240-241)It is likely that at least from1921on Wilson read The New Republic carefully and had thus come across Clay’s name.In this period Wilson had strong socialist leanings,and for this reason Clay might have been appealing.Clay was concerned with the education of workers and had written a text aimed at least somewhat at a more general audience than the usual textbook7audience.It is also clear that Clay was known at the New School through Tead, and it is possible that Wilson had contacts at the New School.It thus appears that the most likely answer to the puzzle is that Fitzgerald asked Wilson for the name of a business or economics book that Nick might or should have had in his library and Wilson mentioned Clay’s Economics.5I began this search with the view that Clay’s Economics was solely an economics text,but what has emerged is that the book is somewhat broader than this.It is thus not clear whether Fitzgerald meant the book to be the introductory economics text that Nick used at Yale or simply an economics book for a general reader(e.g.,bond dealer)like Nick.As a textbook author,I like thefirst interpretation,but the second interpretation is clearly possible.Although West(2000)does not discuss where Fitzgerald might have gotten knowledge of Clay’s book,he argues that it might be significant that Fitzgerald had Gatsby look through Clay’s book with“vacant eyes,”since Clay“was concerned chiefly with the redistribution of wealth for the public good”(p.174).Another possibility in light of the Tead review in The New Republic is that Fitzgerald picked Clay to make a point about economics becoming too concerned with abstractions. This is my second favorite interpretation after the textbook one.65Fitzgerald often asked about specific facts for his writings.Good examples are in his letters to Maxwell Perkins,his editor at Scribner—see Bryer and Kuehl(1971).6Long(1979,p.213)argues that Fitzgerald might have chosen Clay as a play on the name of the American Henry Clay,who is historically relevant to the theme of The Great Gatsby.Long writes:“[The American]Clay thus stood for both the optimistic dream of the West and the interests of great corporate wealth that stood to gain by this Western dream;…Gatsby’s glancing absently at a book on economics by Henry Clay,just before the appearance of Daisy Fay,would reinforce an impression that Gatsby will see the‘vision’but not the realities that underlie it.”This is my least favorite interpretation.(Long also does not discuss where Fitzgerald might have gotten knowledge of the British Henry Clay.)8References[1]Aldrich,Nelson Jr.,1984,Tommy Hitchcock:An American Hero,privatelyprinted.[2]Bruccoli,Matthew J.,ed.,1973,F.Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby AFacsimile of the Manuscript,Washington D.C.:Microcard Editions Books.[3]Bryer,Jackson R.,and John Kuehl,eds.,1971,Dear Scott/Dear Max,NewYork:Charles Scribner’s Sons.[4]Clay,Henry,1916,Economics,London:The MacMillan Company.[5]Clay,Henry,1919,Economics,New York:The MacMillan Company.(American edition)[6]Gale,Robert L.,1998,An F.Scott Fitzgerald Encyclopedia,Westport,Con-necticut:Greenwood Press.[7]Fairchild,Fred Rogers,Edgar Stevenson Furniss,and Norman Sydney Buck,1924,Elementary Economics,New Haven,Connecticut:Yale University.[8]Fisher,Irving,1915,Elementary Principles of Economics,New York:TheMacMillian Company.[9]Fitzgerald,F.Scott,1925,The Great Gatsby,NewYork:Simon&Schuster,First Scribner Paperback Fiction Edition1995.[10]Long,Robert Emmet,1979,The Achieving of The Great Gatsby,Lewisburg:Bucknell University Presses.[11]Meyers,Jeffrey,1995,Edmund Wilson A Biography,New York:HoughtonMifflin Company.[12]Tate,Mary Jo,1998,F.Scott Fitzgerald A to Z,New York:CheckmarkBooks.[13]Taussig,F.W.,1911,Principles of Economics,New York:The MacMillianCompany.[14]West,James L.W.III,2000,ed.,Trimalchio An Early Version of The GreatGatsby,Cambridge:Cambridge University Press.9。
了不起的盖茨比论文
了不起的盖茨比论文引言《了不起的盖茨比》是一部经典的美国小说，由斯科特·菲茨杰拉德（F. Scott Fitzgerald）创作并于1925年出版。
这部小说以20世纪20年代的美国为背景，以盖茨比这个神秘的人物为中心，揭示了无尽的追求和欲望对人们的影响。
本论文将探讨《了不起的盖茨比》中的几个核心主题，包括社会阶层、幻想与现实、爱情和破灭。
通过分析这些主题，我们可以更好地理解小说中的人物关系和情节发展。
社会阶层《了不起的盖茨比》通过不同社会阶层的人物之间的关系，展示了20世纪20年代美国社会的复杂性。
小说中的人物分为新贵人士（如盖茨比）、上流社会（如汤姆·布坎南）和社会底层（如尼克·卡拉威）。
这三个社会阶层的对比反映了社会不平等和金钱对人们生活的影响。
盖茨比是一个自力更生的新贵人士，他从贫苦的家庭出身，通过努力工作和谋划，成为了一个财富拥有者。
他通过炫耀奢华的派对和奇特的装饰来吸引上流社会的注意，并试图实现他心中的幻想。
然而，尽管他已经拥有了经济财富，但他并不被上层社会真正接受，因为他没有正确的血统和教育背景。
尽管如此，盖茨比仍然坚定地相信自己可以通过金钱来克服一切，以便重返他与黛西·布坎南之间曾经的爱情。
值得注意的是，在小说中，菲茨杰拉德通过描绘不同社会阶层人物之间的交往和互动，暗示了一个社会阶层壁垒不可动摇的观点。
这种观点在小说结尾时体现得尤为明显，当盖茨比死于悲剧性的结局，他被社会所遗忘，也暗示了社会中个人努力与社会等级和约束之间的冲突。
幻想与现实《了不起的盖茨比》中的主人公盖茨比是一个相当幻想主义者。
他对黛西·布坎南抱有一种执着的爱情幻想，这种幻想驱使着他成为了一个事业有成的人，但同时也成为了他自己的枷锁。
这个主题反映了20世纪20年代的美国社会，被誉为“繁荣的疯狂”时代，被金钱和物质所主导。
盖茨比将黛西视为他的救赎和幸福的象征，他通过建造一座豪华的房子和举办流光溢彩的派对来吸引她的注意。

摘要“美国梦”是贯穿美国历史,最能体现美国人的传统价值观念和民族精神的理想。
是对平等、自由、进取和成功的理想主义信念。
美国梦所体现出来的机会均等、人人都能通过自身的奋斗取得成功吸引着成千上万的人奔赴到这片热土。
但是，20世纪20年代爵士时代的发言人司各特•菲茨杰拉德在他的经典之作《了不起的盖茨比》中却为世人反应出了一个看似光鲜实则堕落腐败的社会，展示了盖茨比梦想破灭, 象征着他所代表的那一代人的“美国梦”的幻灭。
本文旨在通过运用文体学理论分析《了不起的盖茨比》中的人物特性及他们各自心中所追求的“美国梦”，最后探究美国梦破灭的根本原因。
本文最后发现通过变换叙述视角，运用倒叙的时间性叙述，以及运用不同的叙述焦点将有助于展现美国梦的破灭这一主题。

That the chance are even, everyone could achieve success through his hard work which reflected in American dream attracts a myriad of immigrants abroad flooding into this promising land. However, the illustrious work The Great Gatsby of Scott Fitzgerald who is universally acknowledged as the spokesman of the 1920s Jazz Age of flaming youth has exhibited a rotten society under the guise of prosperity with the disillusion of the protagonist Gatsby‟s American Dream, in effect, the disillusion of Gatsby‟s American Dream is the disillusion of the American Dream of that whole generation. This thesis will adopt the theory of stylistics to make an analysis about the characters together with their American Dream in The Great Gatsby, and the fundamental reason procuring the disillusion of American Dream will be analyzed.

It was its the golden age During those 10 years, batches of excellent writers emerged and outstanding works came out in an unending flow. At that time, America had just experienced the First World War, its economy was prosperous, but the social conscience was particularly corrupt[1]. Francis Scott Fitzgerald was a shining star in American literature circle during this period. His life was short but it was full of epic glory. His writing career was only 20 years, but he left four classical novels and 160 short articles. Those achievements made him an outstanding novelist in 20th century literary. He is called the representative writer of “Lost Generation” by his contemporaries as well as later generations and also considered as the “Poet Laureate” in “Jazz Age” and the excellent chroniclers[2].1.1.2 Introduction to the NovelWith time passed by, an increasing number of Americans began to realize that not everyone could achieve their American dream.

通过《了不起的盖茨比》探讨美国梦与现实社会的反思
通过《了不起的盖茨比》探讨美国梦与现实社会的反思了不起的盖茨比是美国作家F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德于1925年创作的一部小说。
这部小说通过讲述主人公盖茨比的故事，深入探讨了美国梦与现实社会之间的关系。
在本文中，我们将从多个方面进行分析，并对其所传递出来的反思进行探讨。
首先，值得注意的是，小说以20世纪20年代繁荣时期为背景，在这个时期，经济兴旺、消费观念强烈并伴随着巨大贫富差距。
正因如此，《了不起的盖茨比》可以被视为对当时美国社会现象及其价值观念进行批判性挑战。
首要问题是美国梦与现实生活之间存在着何种冲突和落差？《了不起的盖茨比》通过描绘主人公Jay Gatsby追求爱情与财富之梦而引发玛莉尔黛西死亡事件展示出一个缩影。
Gatsby努力追求成功以重新获得他失去的爱情，并基于金钱和地位建立自身形象。
然而，在他所有物质成就的背后，他仍然感到空虚和孤独。
这种冲突暗示了美国梦所带来的实质性问题，即追求权力和物质成功是否真正能够带来幸福与满足。
其次，《了不起的盖茨比》通过对社会阶层界限探讨进一步呈现了现实社会中存在的问题。
小说描述了上流社会精英们高度奢华、享受尽情狂欢之余却缺乏真诚关系及道德底线等个体特点。
这些人在自己看似完美而富有的生活背后隐藏着种种不快乐、假面具以及内心脆弱。
而Gatsby作为一个新兴富豪，则被排斥于上流社会圈子之外，无论如何努力都无法摆脱他出身低微素质普通家庭事实。
“旧金山”的意象则是对霓虹灯下表面繁荣而内里漏风雨大厦倒塌温哥华市地铁工程故障案例进行象征化处理。
此外，在小说中还可以看到对女性角色描写也透露出作者对当时婚姻制度和女性地位的思考。
黛西·布坎南这个角色展示了上流社会妇女的局限与无奈，虽然身居显赫地位并享有一切物质条件，但却被束缚在男权社会中不能够自由追求内心真正温哥华代写论文梦想。
而Myrtle则是通过长期争吵痛苦婚姻而感受到从小康之家变为贫穷常态后的压力所驱使欲望以及对金钱获得幸福虚荣盲目追逐。
以《了不起的盖茨比》为例,研究追逐虚荣与物质主义的消极影响
了不起的盖茨比：虚荣和物质主义的消极影响简介《了不起的盖茨比》是F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德于1925年出版的一部美国现代经典小说。
这部小说通过描述20世纪20年代美国社会废富与新贵阶层的故事，探索了追逐虚荣和物质主义对个人和社会产生的消极影响。
背景20世纪20年代，被称为“大繁荣”的时期，在经济繁荣与社会变革的背景下，美国出现了许多暴发户和新贵阶层。
这些人通过挥舞着巨额财富来展示他们的社会地位和成功。
然而，他们过度追求虚荣和物质享受，却忽视了内在价值和精神追求，导致了一系列问题。
主题1：浮华世界下失去真实自我在小说中，我们可以看到许多角色沉溺于表面光鲜、奢华的生活方式中。
他们过度注重外貌、社交场合以及炫耀财富，忽视了自己真实的内心需求。
例如，虽然主人公盖茨比通过追求社会地位和财富来吸引自己梦中情人黛西，但他最终发现自己追逐的只是虚幻的幸福。
主题2：破碎的美国梦小说中，盖茨比被描绘为一个充满希望、努力追求成功和幸福的角色。
然而，他所在的社交圈却暴露出许多虚假、不道德以及堕落的一面。
这使得读者开始质疑所谓美国梦所传达的价值观是否仍然存在。
主题3：爱情与金钱之间的纠葛小说中塑造了一个充满复杂感情关系的世界，其中金钱扮演着重要角色。
黛西玛隆、汤姆布坎南和盖茨比之间错综复杂的三角关系展示了金钱对于爱情带来的冲突、欺骗和失望。
这个主题揭示了贪婪和物质主义如何侵蚀真挚感情并导致破裂。
主题4：道德沦丧与社会堕落小说中描述的社交圈和派对场景揭示了20世纪20年代美国社会的道德堕落。
追求物质和虚荣的目标使得人们逐渐忽视了个人责任和真正的价值观，从而导致社会废富们陷入道德颓势。
结论《了不起的盖茨比》通过展示追逐虚荣和物质主义对个人和社会产生的消极影响，提醒读者反思现代社会存在的问题。
作为一个现代经典文学作品，它深刻探讨了金钱、美国梦、爱情以及道德堕落等议题，引发了人们对于真正幸福与价值所在的思考。

了不起的盖茨比毕业论文
了不起的盖茨比毕业论文《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的经典小说之一，出版于1925年，描述了20世纪20年代的美国社会，以及其中一个富豪盖茨比与他的一段复杂的爱情故事。
本文将重点就小说中所反映的美国社会特点、人物性格以及主题等方面进行分析。
一、美国社会特点20世纪20年代的美国是一个经济快速发展的时期，许多人暴富，社会经济上的分化呈现出日益扩大的趋势。
在小说中，以盖茨比为代表的新贵阶层通过参加派对、穿着奢华、驾驶跑车等方式表现出自身的地位和财富，他们住在纽约市的豪华公寓和大别墅中，过着奢侈的生活。
另一方面，以尼克为代表的老牌贵族则更加关注传统的美国价值观，例如诚实、正直和尊重等。
他们有着良好的教育背景和社会地位，并且保持着旧时美国家族的风貌，但他们却无法抵挡派对和酗酒所带来的诱惑，也逐渐沉浸在新兴阶层所提供的激情和魅力中，不断远离了自己的信仰和价值观。
二、人物性格小说中的人物形象各异，具有鲜明的个性特点。
其中，盖茨比的形象给人以神秘感和虚幻感。
他是一个新贵富豪，拥有极端的自信和独特的魅力，但却隐藏着一个不可说的秘密，他深深地爱着黛西，而黛西则是他过去的恋人，他为了重获黛西的爱情而不择手段，甚至牺牲了自己的生命。
另一方面，尼克·卡拉威是一个明智而正直的人，他具备敏锐的洞察力和自我控制力，能够准确地分辨出真实和虚假的东西。
他尊重一个人的精神品质，而不是他/她的地位和财富。
在整个故事中，尼克一直是一个中立的定海神针，既是旁观者，也是操纵者，他以公正、善良，审慎和谦逊的态度完成了自己的任务。
三、主题《了不起的盖茨比》通过描绘20世纪20年代的美国社会与个体，探讨了许多主题，其中最主要的是爱情、财富和社会信仰。
首先是爱情，小说中黛西和盖茨比的爱情故事可以说是本书的重点所在。
盖茨比的爱情是一种强烈的爱情，充满了牺牲和情感纠葛。
他追逐黛西的过程，如同幻梦般，美好而不真实。

了不起的盖茨比读书笔记议论文五篇了不起的盖茨比读书笔记谈论文1我最近始终在读渡边淳一的书，印象比较深刻的就是《红城堡》和《失乐园》，两部对于性和爱情之间的淋漓尽致的描述，让我对性有了重新的定义。
由于这两本书，我在前两个月中对于性和爱情的概念浑浑噩噩，过度的追求性，失了自我。
但一旦糊涂，我会重新端详它们之间的平衡。
对于《了不起的盖茨比》这本书耳熟能详，我身边的伴侣都听过它的名字，但很少有人读过它，以至于我没方法和别人争论我的见解、看法。
它就在我的手边放着，读其次遍的时候，我把我喜爱的句子用铅笔圈了出来，预备整理到本子上。
我刚才看了它一眼，想知道是谁译的它。
我在某APP上刷它的点评时，我看到有人说我买的这个版本是翻译的最好的。
唯一记得两个点评，其中一个就是夸我买的这个版本翻译的好，我暗自庆幸。
另外一个则是说，不明白为何村上春树对这本书的评价如此高。
关于这本书，我只能把我的拙见表达出来，假如有任何错误，请谅解。
读一遍的时候，我并没有读懂，看了其他人的影评，更是大失所望。
想起开头村上春树的序言，我打算将这本书认仔细真的再读一遍。
倒不是说我第一遍没有仔细读，这就像在做阅读理解。
我想起上学时期，语文老师说过，做题的时候，不要只读一遍。
由于每读一遍都会有更深刻的理解。
我对于这句话谨记于心。
你可以说这本书是关于爱情的，也可以说它是关于友情的。
正是由于有了黛西，我们才能看出来盖茨比的宏大。
原谅我的文笔匮乏，时隔两月有余才连续这篇文章的叙述。
在我看来，这篇读后感还不如我学校写的作文。
但太久不曾接触，不曾写读后感，难免生疏。
对于故事情节我时刻谨记于心。
对于这本书，我可能会像村上先生说的那样，反反复复要读个几遍。
第一遍读下来，一知半解。
其次遍读完，已经了解了也许的轮廓。
这篇读后感先在这里结束，后续我想我会对它重新整理。
我也盼望这篇作为的我的第一篇，能给我一个良好的开端，我会在今后写作的道路上，不断前行，吸取教训。
多学习，多看，多做。
F.S.菲茨杰拉德论文：F.S.菲茨杰拉德了不起的盖茨比消费主义美国梦破灭
F.S.菲茨杰拉德论文：F.S.菲茨杰拉德了不起的盖茨比消费主义美国梦破灭【中文摘要】消费是一个近几年在中国备受瞩词汇,它在文学中同样热门。
早在20世纪20年代,美国由生产型社会转变为消费型社会,文学中也产生了“消费主义”这一概念。
而“美国梦”则源自美国二百多年的发展历程,植根美国文化、美国精神之中,是美国人奋斗的精神动力,也是众多作家作品的主题。
作为美国20世纪最有影响力的作家之一,F.S.菲茨杰拉德(1896-1940)亲身经历并以浪漫且富有诗意的文笔记录了消费主义在美国从兴起到成为潮流这一阶段,即被他称之为“爵士时代”这一时期美国人追求梦想时的面貌。
在他一生创作的四部长篇小说和超过一百六十篇短篇小说中,《了不起的盖茨比》是流传最广、评价最高的一部。
菲茨杰拉德的真实生活与他的创作密不可分,论文从消费主义入手,旨在探讨消费主义和美国梦在这部小说中的体现,结合消费主义的影响分析其中几位主要人物的美国梦,探讨消费主义如何对他们的美国梦产生负面影响。
论文共有五个部分,分别为引言、主体的三章和结论。
引言部分简介菲茨杰拉德生平和他的小说《了不起的盖茨比》,概述了国内外对《了不起的盖茨比》研究的相关文献。
第一章简要介绍美国梦,以及美国梦对人们的影响。
第二章讨论小说中主要人物的美国梦,即主人公杰伊·盖茨比,黛西·布坎南,故事叙述者尼克·卡罗威以及梅特尔·威尔逊的美国梦。
第三章详细阐述消费文化对美国梦的影响。
首先从消费主义概念入手,然后剖析消费主义在小说中的体现,接着探讨消费主义对人们的负面影响,最后讨论消费主义是小说人物美国梦的破灭的主要因素。
结论部分回顾20世纪20年代社会转型期国民观念急剧转变的大环境下,消费主义对美国人的影响.菲茨杰拉德以他独具的感悟力和表达力将亲身经历和感悟放入其作品当中。
研究他的小说《了不起的盖茨比》,读者能够真切体会到当时社会生活面貌。

以《了不起的盖茨比》思考金钱与社会价值观的关系
了不起的盖茨比：金钱与社会价值观的探讨引言《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家菲茨杰拉德创作的一部经典小说，通过描绘20世纪20年代美国社会的繁华与腐败，以及人们对金钱与社会地位的追求进行了深入思考。
本文将以《了不起的盖茨比》为基础，探讨金钱与社会价值观之间的复杂关系。
背景介绍在小说中，主人公盖茨比是一个神秘而富有的亿万富翁，他通过财富和派对来吸引别人的注意，并努力恢复与爱人黛西·布坎南之间曾经存在过的感情。
然而，在追求财富和社会地位的过程中，盖茨比遭受到了现实与梦幻之间巨大差距造成的困惑。
金钱带来的权利和荣誉在《了不起的盖茨比》中，金钱给予人们权利和荣誉。
拥有财富意味着可以买下名牌服饰、豪宅和名车，并参加高雅的社交活动。
这些物质享受和社会地位使得人们在社会中受到崇拜或尊重。
金钱与虚荣心之间的矛盾然而，小说也揭示了金钱与虚荣心之间的矛盾。
盖茨比及其周围的人们虽然追求财富和享乐，但他们内心深处却感到空虚和不满足。
他们为了追逐名利而扭曲了自己的价值观，甚至失去了真正的幸福。
金钱带来的腐败和堕落另一方面，金钱也成为小说中腐败和堕落的根源。
通过描述盖茨比以及其他角色涉及的非法交易、欺诈行为和道德颓废，菲茨杰拉德警示我们，财富无法掩盖个人品格上的缺陷，反而可能导致更多问题。
社会价值观对金钱的影响社会价值观对个体对金钱的追求产生重要影响。
美国20世纪20年代是一个物欲横流、崇尚功利的时代，这对盖茨比以及其他角色的想法和行为有着深刻的影响。
盖茨比试图通过金钱来达到社会地位，追求与黛西重新团聚，而其他角色也被社会化的价值观所束缚。
结论通过《了不起的盖茨比》可以看出，金钱和社会价值观之间存在复杂而微妙的关系。
尽管财富给予人们权力、荣誉和物质享受，但过度追求金钱可能导致虚荣心、腐败和堕落。
同时，社会价值观对个体对金钱的追求产生重要影响，并对人们的真实幸福和满足感产生影响。
总而言之，《了不起的盖茨比》通过揭示金钱与社会价值观之间的复杂关系，提醒我们审视自身对金钱以及社会地位所持有的态度，并思考自己真正追求什么才能获得内心的满足与幸福。
了不起的盖茨比毕业论文
了不起的盖茨比毕业论文《了不起的盖茨比》毕业论文《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的一部经典小说，被誉为美国文学史上最伟大的作品之一。
这部小说以20世纪20年代的美国为背景，通过对主人公盖茨比的描写，展现了爱情、财富和社会阶层的复杂关系。
本文将从几个方面探讨《了不起的盖茨比》这部小说的深度和内涵。
首先，我们可以从小说中的主人公盖茨比的形象入手。
盖茨比是一个神秘而富有的人物，他通过自己的努力成为了一个成功的商人。
然而，他的财富并没有带给他真正的幸福。
相反，他一直追求着他认为能带给他幸福的女人——黛西。
盖茨比对黛西的迷恋让他失去了自我，变得孤独而空虚。
这种对黛西的追求和对财富的追求形成了小说的主要冲突，也反映了现实生活中人们对爱情和财富的追求。
其次，小说中的社会阶层也是一个重要的主题。
20世纪20年代的美国是一个繁荣而浮华的时代，社会阶层分化明显。
小说中的人物来自不同的社会阶层，他们之间的关系复杂而纠缠。
盖茨比作为一个出身贫寒的人，通过努力跻身上流社会，但他始终无法摆脱自己的出身。
与此同时，小说中的其他人物也面临着社会阶层的限制和压力。
通过对这些人物的描写，菲茨杰拉德展示了社会阶层对人们命运的影响和人性的脆弱性。
此外，小说中的爱情也是一个重要的主题。
盖茨比对黛西的爱情是小说的核心。
他们之间的关系充满了激情和痛苦，他们的爱情也受到了财富和社会阶层的限制。
黛西作为一个上层社会的女性，对盖茨比的爱情充满了矛盾和选择。
她既渴望盖茨比的爱情，又不愿意放弃她的社会地位和财富。
通过对这段爱情的描写，小说探讨了爱情和社会的冲突，以及人们在追求爱情和财富时所面临的抉择。
最后，小说中的象征主义也值得我们关注。
菲茨杰拉德通过对物品、场景和人物的描写，展示了象征主义的力量。
例如，小说中的绿灯象征着盖茨比对黛西的追求和他对过去的留恋；而眼镜则象征着现实和理性的力量。
通过这些象征的运用，菲茨杰拉德增加了小说的深度和内涵，使读者对故事的理解更加丰富和多样化。
