Abstract

        The great Gatsby lived in the period of the First World War, when people were suspicious about the traditional notions and intended to break out them. In the novel, Daisy is a woman who was born in a rich family, and she always lives a luxuriant life of the upper class. Obviously, the person who wants to get her love must have enough money to offer her a luxuriant life. In order to make his American Dream come true, which is to win Daisy, Gatsby tries every possible means including illegal trade of alcohol to make a fortune. However, when Gatsby helps Daisy to escape from the accident successfully, and mistakenly be murdered by the husband of Tom’s mistress, his American Dream is broken. There is nothing left to him after his death, his wealth no longer means anything, and Daisy does not come back to him, either.
This thesis based on an analysis of the break of Gatsby’s American Dream in the novel The Great Gatsby which was written by Fitzgerald and published in 1925. From the analysis, we can have a view about the relationship between love and money of the characters in the novel——love is closely connected with money. And then according to the status quo in reality, it draws a conclusion that there is a close relationship between love and money in reality. In sum, it is an analysis of the relationship between love and money in reality according to the break of Gatsby’s American Dream.

摘  　要

      了不起的蓋茨比生活在一戰(zhàn)期間，這時(shí)候人民對(duì)傳統(tǒng)觀念持懷疑態(tài)度并且在漸漸的打破這些觀念，傳統(tǒng)意義上的美國(guó)夢(mèng)也被歪曲了。在小說(shuō)中，戴西是個(gè)出身富裕家庭，從小過(guò)著舒適的生活的女人,要想獲得她的愛(ài)情，就必須有足夠的金錢(qián)為她提供一個(gè)美好的生活。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的美國(guó)夢(mèng)，贏得戴西，蓋茨比通過(guò)各種手段賺錢(qián)，包括在禁酒期間非法運(yùn)酒。但是，當(dāng)蓋茨比幫助戴西成功逃脫那場(chǎng)車(chē)禍，并被誤認(rèn)為是兇手被殺害的時(shí)候，他的美國(guó)夢(mèng)破滅了。在他死后，沒(méi)有任何東西是屬于他的，他所有的財(cái)富對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)已經(jīng)沒(méi)有任何意義，而戴西也沒(méi)有回到他身邊。從蓋茨比美國(guó)夢(mèng)的幻滅，可以得出一個(gè)結(jié)論，他們的愛(ài)情和金錢(qián)是密切聯(lián)系著的。
這篇文章通過(guò)對(duì)菲次杰瑞德于1925年出版的小說(shuō)《了不起的蓋茨比》中蓋茨比美國(guó)夢(mèng)的幻滅的分析，對(duì)小說(shuō)人物間的愛(ài)情和金錢(qián)的關(guān)系有了一個(gè)初步的認(rèn)識(shí)——愛(ài)情和金錢(qián)是緊密聯(lián)系的。本文結(jié)合小說(shuō)和現(xiàn)實(shí)中存在的現(xiàn)狀，得出在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，愛(ài)情和金錢(qián)是密不可分的結(jié)論。總的來(lái)說(shuō)，文章是在對(duì)了不起的蓋茨比美國(guó)夢(mèng)的幻滅的分析的基礎(chǔ)上，透視了現(xiàn)實(shí)中的愛(ài)情和金錢(qián)的關(guān)系。
