摘要：弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德是20世紀(jì)美國的著名作家，被稱為“爵士時代”的代言人。他的作品準(zhǔn)確的展現(xiàn)了20世紀(jì)初美國的社會狀況：經(jīng)濟(jì)的繁榮和道德敗壞。寫于1934年的《夜色溫柔》是菲茨杰拉德時代最偉大的文學(xué)性文獻(xiàn)之一。菲茨杰拉德用他獨(dú)特的文體揭示爵士時代的光環(huán)下面隱藏的道德空虛和虛偽，并從此奠定了他在美國文學(xué)史上的地位。他的作品帶有現(xiàn)代主義的特征，其中象征手法的運(yùn)用是最顯著特色之一。很多評論家從不同的角度分析了《夜色溫柔》，比如敘述角度，文章的結(jié)構(gòu)等等。本文將分析小說中的四種象征：性格象征、事物象征、行為象征和場景象征。文章分為四個部分，第一部分是對作家弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德，他的作品，以及《夜色溫柔》的相關(guān)評論的介紹。第二部分是關(guān)于文學(xué)中象征主義及象征主義的作用。第三部分析文章中的象征意義，有性格象征、事物象征、行為象征和場景象征。第四部分是關(guān)于象征手法在《夜色溫柔》中的作用。

關(guān)鍵詞：菲茨杰拉德；《夜色溫柔》；象征

Perceiving the Moral Values of the American Society
in the Early Twenties Century
 in Tender Is the Night

Abstract

 F. Scott Fitzgerald, the famous American novelist in the 20th century, is known as the spokesman of the “Jazz Age” America, whose works give us an accurate picture of the atmosphere of the American twenties: the prosperity of economy and the moral absence. Tender Is the Night, published in 1934, is one of the greatest literary documents of Fitzgerald’s period. The exploration of moral emptiness and hypocrisy beneath the Jazz Age, together with the stylistic brilliance of the novel ensures Fitzgerald’s position in American Literature. His novel bears some features of modernism, among which symbolism is the most remarkable. Critics have analyzed the novel through different perspectives, such as the narrative point of view, the structure of the novel, etc. We will analyze four types of symbols in the novel: character symbols, object symbols, action symbols and scenery symbols. It consists of four parts. The first part introduces the writer, his works and some criticisms on Tender Is the Night. The second part concerns symbolism in literature and the functions of symbolism. The third part analyzes the symbols in the novel. The conclusion comments on the function of symbolism in Tender Is the Night.

Key words: Fitzgerald; Tender Is the Night; symbol
