22、Written in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby is often referred to as “The Great American Novel” and as the quintessential work which captures the mood of the “Jazz Age”. Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and educated at Princeton, although he dropped out to join the arm
23、y before he completed his degree. Stationed near Montgomery, Alabama, he met and later married Zelda Sayre, a high-strung woman from a family more prominent than his own. His first novel, This Side of Paradise, published in 1920, was a tremendous critical and commercial success. Fitzgerald followed
24、with The Beautiful and the Damned in 1922, The Great Gatsby in 1925, Tender is the Night (1934), and was working on The Last Tycoon (1941) when he died, in Hollywood, in 1940.Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby was not a great success during his lifetime, but became a smash hit after his death, especially
25、after World War II. It has since become a staple of the canon of American literature, and is taught at many high schools and universities across the country and the world. Four films, an opera, and a play have been made from the text.Fitzgerald had an intensely romantic imagination; he once called T
26、he Great Gatsby “a heightened sensitivity to the promises of life”. The Great Gatsby received mostly positive reviews , and critics have viewed it differently in each decade. T. S. Eliot once concluded that it was the “first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James”. Ernest Hemingway,
27、who had a lifelong love-hate relationship with F. Scott Fitzgerald once described Scotts talent “as perfect and delicate as the wings of a butterfly”. J.D Salinger simply put it “Theyre all a bunch of phonies.”In this paper, the author will firstly give a brief introduction of F.Scott Fitzgerald and
28、 The Great Gatsby, analyze Gatsbys American Dream in The Great Gatsby and mainly analyze Gatsbys tragic roots- the disillusionment of Gatsbys American Dream.Through the tragic fate of the hero Gatsby, this paper shows the deep social crisis and people values and moral values depressing in the Jazz E
29、ra, and presents a loss of life and the disillusionment of the ideal dream in that time.I. Background informationFrancis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he co
30、ined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the 1920s. He finished four novels, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and his most famous, the celebrated cl
31、assic, The Great Gatsby. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. The Great Gatsby proceeded with Nicks narration. Nick. Carraway was born in a Wester
32、n family, going to the developed Eastern for his own ideal. Nick lived in the West Egg of Long Island neighboring Gatsby. Gatsby was very rich and mysterious, and holding extremely luxurious banquet once per week. Nick attended Gatsbys banquet and made friends with Gatsby and understood that Gatsbys
33、 living here and showing luxury were all for attracting Daisy, who was Nicks cousin living in the East egg, near to the West Egg. In the past, Gatsby and Daisy once fell in love with each other. But later, Daisy married a rich boyTom Buchanan. From then on, Gatsby made efforts to amass money for win
34、ning back Daisy. By Nicks help, Gatsby and Daisy ignited their love affair again. But in the conflict between Gatsby and Tom, Daisy dared not to leave Tom. After that, purposelessly, Daisy knocked Toms mistress-Mrs. Wilson to die by car. In order to protect Daisy, Gatsby took the responsibility. How
35、ever, Tom hinted Mr. Wilson that Gatsby was the murderer. So Mr. Wilson who didnt know the truth killed Gatsby. At last, there were very few people attending Gatsbys funeral. Meanwhile, Daisy and Tom became reconciled and gone out for traveling together. Nick saw through the indifference of people a
36、nd left Eastern.1.1 A brief introduction of F. Scott FitzgeraldF. Scott Fitzgerald was a famous writer of his own time. As Malcolm Cowley once put it, he lived in a room full of clocks and calendars. The years ticked away while he noted the songs, the shows, the books, the quarterbacks. His own care
37、er followed the pattern of the nation, booming in the early 1920s and skidding into near oblivion during the depths of the Depression. Yet his fiction did more than merely report on his times, or on himself as a prototypical representative, for Fitzgerald had the gift of double vision. Like Walt Whi
38、tman or his own Nick Carraway, he was simultaneously within and without, at once immersed in his times and able to view them and himself with striking objectivity. This rare ability, along with his rhetorical brilliance, has established Fitzgerald as one of the major novelists and story writers of t
39、he twentieth century.Fitzgerald attended Princeton University but was forced to withdraw in 1917 because of poor grades, and later that year joined the army. In 1918 he met Zelda Sayre, the daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge. To prove himself and win her, he rewrote the novel which he had be
40、gun at Princeton; in 1920 This Side of Paradise was published and the two were married. Fitzgerald started writing for periodicals, publishing early stories such as “The Diamond as Big as The Ritz”, later collected in Tales of The Jazz Age (1922). Fame and prosperity were both welcome and frightenin
41、g; in The Beautiful and Damned (1922), he describes the life he and Zelda feared, a descent into ennui and dissipation. The Fitzgeralds moved in 1924 to the French Riviera, where they fell in with a group of American expatriates, described in his last completed novel, Tender Is The Night (1934). Sho
42、rtly after their arrival, he completed his greatest work, The Great Gatsby (1925), which poignantly expresses his ambivalence about American life, at once vulgar and dazzlingly promising. Some of his finest short stories of this period, particularly The Rich Boy and Absolution, appeared in All the S
43、ad Young Men (1926). The stresses of fame and prosperity led Fitzgerald to drink excessively; Zelda suffered mental breakdowns in 1930 and 1932 from which she never fully recovered, and she spent most of her remaining years in a sanitarium. By 1937 Fitzgerald had become a scriptwriter in Hollywood;
44、there he met the gossip columnist Sheilah Graham, with whom he would spend the rest of his life. He told the story of his downward slide in The Crack-Up, published posthumously in 1945. His last work, the Hollywood novel The Last Tycoon (1941), was left unfinished at his death at 44 of alcohol-relat
45、ed causes. 1.2 An introducation of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is Fitzgeralds favorite novel, also a most obvious sign that his thought and style became mature. With strict designing of structure and special narrator, Fitzgerald expressed the motif of the disillusion of “American Dream”. By th
46、e standard of both art and profundity, the novel is the best works of Fitzgerald. The story is set in New York City and on Long Island, in two areas known as West Egg and East Egg. The story is set in the early 1920s, just after World War I, during Prohibition, a time period that outlawed the manufa
47、cture, sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverages. This is significant not only because Gatsbys ill-gotten wealth is apparently due to bootlegging, but also because alcohol is conspicuously available, despite being illegal, throughout the novel. Indeed, the characters are seen drinking expensive champagne-suggesting that the wealthy are not at all affected by these laws. The social setting is among wealthy, educated people, those with a good deal of leisure time and lit
