The Great Gatsby: Gatsby's Tragic Love

In my opinion, true love can break through all bondage and shackles. True love is noble. It can be the wishful thinking of one or both parties.

But sometimes love can't compete with money after all.

The film The Great Gatsby tells the story of Gatsby, a slum child, who became rich through struggle. In order to pursue his first love, he now married Daisy, the wife of Tom Buchanan, a rich man in the upper class, and gradually fell into the quagmire of love, which eventually led to tragedy.

From the perspective of "Nick"-that is, "I"-and as the role of "light bulb" and "old moon" in the film, the film witnessed the love entanglement between them. Telling this story from the author's point of view is similar to the story collected in The Fantasy Drifting of Pi.

Nick is a writer, but in order to make a living, he went to new york and became a securities salesman. He rented a house in West Egg District, Long Island, 20 miles from new york City.

One weekend, he was invited by his cousin Daisy to the noble manor in the East Egg Area. His cousin married Tom, a college classmate, and he is also a hereditary rich man in the upper class.

At Daisy's home, he met Daisy's good friend Miss Baker. From her mouth, Nick heard about the mysterious rich Gatsby for the first time. Gatsby is Nick's neighbor.

Almost every weekend, Nick can see Gatsby's house full of lights and excitement. He will invite celebrities from the upper class to the party, including government members, Broadway actors in new york, and elites from all walks of life in the upper class. The male guests were grand and handsome, and the female guests were beautifully dressed. They swayed at the party and were very happy.

Like a nouveau riche, Gatsby suddenly appeared in the eyes of many people and appeared in news reports. Everyone is talking about Gatsby's huge and mysterious source of wealth. Some people say that he is the cousin of a German emperor, while others say that he is an unknown traditional family.

One day, Nick received an invitation to Gatsby's party. He asked and found that only he had an invitation, which made him feel more mysterious about his neighbor Gatsby.

At the weekend party, he finally met the mysterious Gatsby, and later he realized why only he received the invitation.

It turns out that Gatsby wants Nick to help arrange a meeting with his cousin Daisy. This is because Gatsby once met Daisy as an officer when he was young, and since then Gatsby has fallen in love with Daisy deeply.

But in the end, because Gatsby was poor, Daisy married one of the richest people in America, the Tom family. Now that Gatsby is a rich man, he wants to pursue Daisy again.

So, with Nick's help, Daisy and Gatsby met again. Obviously, Daisy loves Gatsby. After they met, they seemed to fall into the sweetness and beauty of their first meeting. But as Gatsby fell in love, tragedy also happened.

Gatsby wants Daisy to show her husband Tom that she doesn't love him. But when we met in a hotel in new york, Daisy was very flustered. She dare not abandon money for love, as Gatsby said.

Finally, when Daisy came back in Gatsby's car, she killed Mertel, the wife of boss Wilson, who was Tom's mistress. Then Tom framed Wilson and said Gatsby was the murderer, and finally Gatsby was killed by Wilson.

"They are all cold people, Tom and Daisy. They came out to make a scene, and then retreated to the besieged city created by their money and indifference. I called, wrote and begged, but none of the celebrities he warmly treated came to his funeral. As for Daisy, she didn't even send a flower. "

Gatsby died, but no one came to his funeral. Although Nick is a bystander, he clearly sees Daisy's ruthlessness, hypocrisy, indifference and even nausea in a rich society.

Daisy is a traditional lady. On the one hand, she loves Gatsby. On the other hand, she knew that Tom was cheating in the marriage, but she still generously forgave him because she could not live without this worldly money.

Tom is a famous polo player, and he also comes from the upper class. Although he married a beautiful wife, Daisy, he was still not satisfied. He likes Mertel, the wife of Wilson, the garage owner, and despises upstarts like Gatsby.

Although Gatsby is also a money worshiper on the surface, he tried so hard to become a rich man and held so many luxurious parties just for Daisy's appearance one night.

Gatsby is an unparalleled loyalist in love. Although he has become rich and can like anyone, he has never forgotten his first love Daisy, and he has identified her in his life.

At the same time, he is also optimistic. He firmly believes that Daisy can believe in love as much as he does and bravely break up with Tom. Gatsby could have escaped after Daisy hit Mertel with his car, but he still waited for Daisy's call at home, but even before he died, he couldn't wait for her call.

Or Daisy didn't want to fly away with Gatsby at all. She just wants to experience the pleasure of Tom's infidelity in marriage. After having fun, she returned to the castle built with money.

Why is Gatsby great?

Everyone is after money, but Gatsby still insists on love. He wanted to get back together with Daisy very much. In order to meet her, he spent money on a luxurious party.

In front of Daisy, Tom and other rich people, he is noble and great.

Four people like it.
