《菲茨杰拉德作品》读后感

《菲茨杰拉德作品》读后感

《菲茨杰拉德作品》读后感菲茨杰拉德(F. Scott Fitzgerald)是20世纪美国文学史上最重要的作家之一,他的作品被誉为“爵士时代”的代表作品,以其独特的文风和对人性的深刻洞察而闻名于世。

在阅读了菲茨杰拉德的一系列作品后,我深深感受到了他对人性、社会和爱情的思考,以及他对时代的敏锐观察和批判。

菲茨杰拉德的作品中最著名的当属《了不起的盖茨比》(The Great Gatsby),这部小说以20世纪20年代的美国为背景,讲述了主人公盖茨比为了追求心中的爱情而不懈努力,最终却以悲剧收场的故事。

在小说中,菲茨杰拉德通过描绘盖茨比的生活和人物关系,展现了人性中的贪欲、虚荣和空虚,以及对美国梦的深刻反思。

盖茨比虽然是一个成功的商人,但他却无法得到他所追求的幸福和爱情,最终沦为了一个孤独的梦想家。

这种对现实和理想的冲突,以及对爱情和财富的追求,使得《了不起的盖茨比》成为了一部永恒的经典。

另外一部让我深受触动的作品是《崇高的痛苦》(Tender is the Night),这部小说讲述了一对夫妇在法国度假的故事,通过描绘他们之间的爱情和矛盾,展现了人性中的脆弱和痛苦。

小说中的主人公迪克和尼可尔是一对充满魅力和矛盾的夫妇,他们之间的爱情和婚姻经历了种种挑战和考验,最终以分离和痛苦收场。

菲茨杰拉德通过这对夫妇的故事,深刻揭示了人性中的欲望、背叛和无奈,以及对爱情和婚姻的理解和反思。

《崇高的痛苦》不仅是一部感人至深的小说,更是一部对人性和爱情的探索和思考。

除了这两部经典之作,菲茨杰拉德的其他作品也同样令人印象深刻。

他的短篇小说《钻石如何成为女人最好的朋友》(Diamonds as Big as the Ritz)和《冬夜》(Winter Dreams)等,都展现了他对美国社会和人性的独特见解和批判。

菲茨杰拉德的作品虽然以20世纪20年代的美国为背景,但却具有普世的意义和价值,他的作品不仅揭示了当时的社会现实和人性弱点,更深刻地反映了人类永恒的追求和矛盾。

The Great Gatsby F.Scott.Fitzgerald.Character ListDaisy Buchanan - Nick’s cousin, and the woman Gatsby loves. As a young woman in Louisville before the war, Daisy was courted by a number of officers, including Gatsby. She fell in love with Gatsby and promised to wait for him. However, Daisy harbors a deep need to be loved, and when a wealthy, powerful young man named Tom Buchanan asked her to marry him, Daisy decided not to wait for Gatsby after all. Now a beautiful socialite, Daisy lives with Tom across from Gatsby in the fashionable East Egg district of Long Island. She is sardonic and somewhat cynical, and behaves superficially to mask her pain at her husband’s constant infidelity.Daisy Buchanan (In-Depth Analysis)Tom Buchanan - Daisy’s immensely wealthy husband, once a member of Nick’s social club at Yale. Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family, Tom is an arrogant, hypocritical bully. His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him. He has no moral qualms about his own extramarital affair with Myrtle, but when he begins to suspect Daisy and Gatsby of having an affair, he becomes outraged and forces a confrontation.Jordan Baker - Daisy’s friend, a woman with whom Nick becomes romantically involved during the course of the novel. A competitive golfer, Jordan represents one of the “new women” of the 1920s—cynical, boyish, and self-centered. Jordan is beautiful, but also dishonest: she cheated in order to win her first golf tournament and continually bends the truth.Myrtle Wilson - Tom’s lover, whose lifeless husband George owns a run-down garage in the valley of ashes. Myrtle herself possesses a fierce vitality and desperately looks for a way to improve her situation. Unfortunately for her, she chooses Tom, who treats her as a mere object of his desire.Analysis of Major CharactersDaisy BuchananPartially based on Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, Daisy is a beautiful young woman from Louisville, Kentucky. She is Nick’s cousin and the object of Gatsby’s love. As a young debutante in Louisville, Daisy was extremely popular among the military officers stationed near her home, including Jay Gatsby. Gatsby lied about his background to Daisy, claiming to be from a wealthy family in order to convince her that he was worthy of her. Eventually, Gatsby won Daisy’s heart, and they made love before Gatsby left to fight in the war. Daisy promised to wait for Gatsby, but in 1919 she chose instead to marry Tom Buchanan, a young man from a solid, aristocratic family who could promise her a wealthy lifestyle and who had the support of her parents.After 1919, Gatsby dedicated himself to winning Daisy back, making her the single goal of all of his dreams and the main motivation behind his acquisition of immense wealth through criminal activity. To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In reality, however, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter VII, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving the car. Finally, rather than atte nd Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving noforwarding address.Like Zelda Fitzgerald, Daisy is in love with money, ease, and material luxury. She is capable of affection (she seems genuinely fond of Nick and occasionally seems to love Gatsby sincerely), but not of sustained loyalty or care. She is indifferent even to her own infant daughter, never discussing her and treating her as an afterthought when she is introduced in Chapter VII. In Fitzgerald’s conception of America in the 1920s, Daisy represents the amoral values of the aristocratic East Egg set.。
