Great Gatsby's thoughts on reading.
Comments on The Great Gatsby 1 To tell the truth, reading this book did not produce a * * * sound. The reason may be that I have no culture and don't understand the historical background of the story. In addition, the absurdity of this story seems to have happened in China now, and it seems familiar, so I'm not surprised. What's the fuss about what happens every day?
If it is regarded as a love novel, the love story of the hero and heroine is not so romantic. If we regard it as a social novel, the spirit of criticizing society is not so sharp. It's not an autobiographical novel. Although the story is told by the first person, it is told by others.
The story took place in new york in 1920. At that time, the economy developed rapidly, and popular jazz, frivolous culture, selling bootleg liquor and high crime rate were all depicted in the novel. Look, this is China now.
Gatsby, the hero, has a super-large manor in Long Island, new york. There are all kinds of banquets and parties every day. Guests come from all over new york. Many people don't know Gatsby at all, or have never met Gatsby, because Gatsby rarely meets everyone in public. Many people, such as the narrator Nick, don't know what Gatsby looks like. But they still come here for fun. Gatsby has so much money, but he spends it like this. What does he do?
It turns out that what he pursues is true love. Before he joined the army, he met Daisy, the heroine of the story. They fell in love, but were forced to part because they were going to the army. Gatsby went to the army, and Daisy married herself to someone she didn't love. Daisy now lives in Gatsby's manor across the sea. Gatsby wants to get back together with Daisy. He hopes to attract Daisy's attention through his extravagant and dissolute party and make her change her mind.
Daisy's life is actually not happy. She doesn't love her husband, he has his own new love, and he often dates his lover.
Daisy finally met Gatsby again through the narrator of the story and her cousin, and they got back together. It was discovered by Daisy's husband Tom. Although Tom has a mistress of his own, he is still angry at his wife's infidelity. Tom forced everyone to go to new york City, confronted Gatsby in the suite of Plaza Hotel, and told him that the story between them was beyond Gatsby's understanding. Not only that, he exposed Gatsby's selling bootleg liquor and engaging in other shady activities, which made him rich today. Daisy felt unbearable and just wanted to leave. Tom asked Gatsby to drive her home.
Nick and Tom drove home through Grey Valley and found Tom's mistress Myrtle hit by Gatsby's car. Afterwards, Nick learned from Gatsby that Daisy was driving, but Gatsby didn't want to expose his lover. George, Mertel's husband, mistakenly thought that his master was his wife's lover, so he began to look for it. Tom misled George. George found out that the owner was Gatsby, so he went to the mansion and shot himself. Nick held Gatsby's funeral, broke through the eastern lifestyle and returned to his hometown in the Midwest.
The story is absurd, but it seems to be staged in real life. This story 1920 was staged in the United States, and now it is staged on the land of China. How many rich people spend a lot of time drinking every day, have a wife who looks after the house but doesn't love the family, and still flirt with mistresses outside, and can't stand the wife's empathy. How many people worship money, earn money by hook or by crook, and lose their lives and goals. In the face of love, family and money, people become ferocious.
The film in this book seems good. You must go and see it when you have the chance. It may be better than a novel.
Reflections on The Great Gatsby The Second Great Bill Gates is a great novel, which depicts strong satire and a little melancholy. Also talked about the ingenious conception of the novel. On the one hand, the novel depicts the wealthy celebrities in the upper class spending money like water and playing all night in the wine pool and meat forest, on the other hand, it also depicts the marginal class struggling to survive in an ashes-like poor community. The two worlds exist side by side and are unrelated to each other. The arrogance, arrogance and arrogance of the rich are simply ridiculous.
Ironically, some poor people struggling at the bottom, when opportunities let them touch the steps of the upper class a little, immediately became arrogant and biased, completely different from themselves. If this is the enterprising "American Dream", it really looks ridiculous. For example, Tom's underground lover, in a private apartment, in that exclusive little world, changed his temperament after wearing beautiful and expensive clothes. The original vitality has turned into arrogance. "Her laughter, posture and words are becoming more and more pretentious. Her self-expansion seems to make the space smaller and smaller, and she can hardly be accommodated. At the end of the story, Daisy accidentally killed Tom's mistress and ran away. Tom may have deliberately led the suspect to Gatsby and let him know the truth. Desperate for revenge, the husband of the deceased sneaked into Gatsby's mansion and shot him.
Gatsby's beloved Daisy, instead of admitting the truth and excusing him, listened to her husband's arrangement and moved away immediately. Those affairs are so absurd and childish in the face of cold realistic choices. Poor Gatsby didn't wake up until he died. In other words, Gatsby finally died between the real Daisy and the imaginary Daisy.
In the past, the upper class of the whole city hung out at Gatsby's party every week, but few people came to his funeral. Gatsby was buried alone in the drizzle. The social circle supported by material desires is indifferent after all.
Probably like his fantasy love, his life of persistent struggle for his dream is still just a huge bubble under the cover of flashy and lively appearance.
What's the big deal about The Great Gatsby? Perhaps, he relied on his own efforts, seized the opportunity, struggled persistently, and tried to make his fantasy close to the power of reality. Even if the fantasy is not reality after all, the bubble burst at the last minute.
This is a sad story that is obsessed with fantasy in the watch, but it is finally shattered. Perhaps most of the love that fascinates us is beyond our power. The perfect lover always exists only in dreams. If he returns to reality, he will either die in a chicken feather with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, or end in tragedy.
It is worth mentioning that this story is actually based on Fitzgerald's own experience. Fitzgerald idealizes unforgettable but unattainable love in his novels, perhaps just as Gatsby idealizes Daisy. It is really embarrassing that the imaginary lover can remember his life, but the real wife destroys each other with him.
After reading The Great Gatsby, like many people, it is because Murakami understands Fitzgerald and Gatsby. Although I like Murakami, I didn't follow the habits of my favorite writer, so I was secretly convinced that I would like this book, but I didn't look for it. Another reason is the huge word hanging on the head of this book: "American Dream". Just like the translator's disgusting preface made me never read it again, just like the poster of American Beauty reminded me of the word "middle class", and the characteristic of "writing the disillusionment of the American dream" made me sincerely refuse The Great Gatsby. American writers have always been concerned about social life, so their works are very suitable for the tastes of some critics.
After reading it, the story of the novel itself did not arouse my deep feelings. Perhaps, I have experienced too many such feelings-works showing "bourgeois snobbery, hypocrisy and ruthlessness" from Balzac to Kafka. What moved me was the pure and decadent taste of Fitzgerald revealed between the lines of this book. The humorous and relaxed tradition in American literature came to him, adding strong lyricism and sentimentality, and joining the compassion and care of the orientals, thus having an extraordinary taste. There are many dialogues and details in the novel, so it is difficult to write such a novel that is not boring. When it comes to Fitzgerald, it is even more talked about. Nervous women are vivid, interesting metaphors emerge one after another, and spicy arguments hit the nail on the head. However, the long sentence feelings that make the rhythm of the novel stagnate have the temperament of lyric poetry. I am deeply interested in the life experience of the author who wrote this kind of writing.
So I found Fitzgerald's life information, which really fits my guess. If the relationship between a writer's life and creation is divided into several types, Fitzgerald undoubtedly belongs to the kind whose life experience is as wonderful as a novel. Born in poverty, he was successful in my official career, lived a miserable life and died a miserable life. He was not only a writer, but also a dreamer in real life. He is a child who is intoxicated with worldly pleasures and looks up at the sky. He is a black rose blooming in the mud. In fact, he is a poet, or a novelist with a strong poetic temperament, which determines the texture of his works. The brilliance of details in his novels comes from the poet's ability to rename human things.
I firmly believe that the heavy works accumulated in the corners of human polite buildings have the same core. For generations, people have written the same theme, but with different structures and intonations. The charm of literature lies in all kinds of wonderful ways of speaking; Literature retains the ability of human beings to speak.
How does the word "American Dream" sum up all the connotations of The Great Gatsby and how does it break through the clouds of reality? What I saw was the faint green light across the sea. Gatsby saw it, the big eyes on the billboard saw it, Fitzgerald saw it, and many people saw it. Some people, as time goes by, gradually lose sight of it, some people see it but no longer believe in self-seeing, some people always see it and always mumble in the direction of light. It's a permanent posture. It's a beautiful posture.
Great Gatsby's reading thoughts 4. I like the passage at the beginning of the novel. The father taught his son, "Whenever you want to criticize anyone, you should remember that not all people in this world have your advantages." These are the greatness of this book described on the back cover. I don't quite understand the concepts in these literary categories. The Great Gatsby was rated as "a gorgeous elegy in the jazz age, poetic and dreamy." It is a dark stroke in the history of American literature, ranking second in English literature in a hundred years. Literature is really something eternal. This sentence, written 85 years ago, has little to do with the main message of this book, but it makes people think and reflect for a long time. As the Book of Songs says, "What does it mean to become immortal without instrument?" Today, thousands of years later, it is still shocking. I also like the last sentence of the novel, "So we struggled forward and sailed against the current, being pushed back and pushed to the past." A deep sigh of powerlessness, people, forge ahead, step forward, and finally, the past of time.
In the novel, Gatsby, who spends a lot of money, holds a party of singing and drinking every night, and then the only thing in his heart is Daisy, his former lover and now the goddess across the river. "However, the cold reality can't accommodate misty dreams, and the goddess in his heart can also be a material girl on earth." After the truth came out, Gatsby chose to go home disillusioned with his dreams. The loneliness of life is a feather piece of Ji Guang, and the loneliness of death is eternal. The text of this book is also a "poetic dream" described in the introduction, which is very beautiful. Even if it is a car accident, shooting, death and other scenes unrelated to beauty, Fitzgerald can still show it in a poetic way.
I like The Great Gatsby for many reasons: I like the father's advice at the beginning: When you comment on others, remember that not all people have such advantages as you. I like watching Gatsby Stand by and The Green Light on Daisy's Pier. I like watching him "stretch out his arm in a strange way". I like that kind of surprise and longing. I like the unlit lights on Gatsby House, and the music and laughter floating in the garden with the wind, so that I can lead a drunken life. And Gatsby's loneliness and repressed desire hidden behind all this prosperity. I like the human feelings after death, and I like to watch the car on the other side of the world come to the door of the mansion, but I didn't find that the perfect banquet had already ended. I also like the language, metaphor, story-telling way and exquisite but meticulous structure in the book. Only by reading it repeatedly will you find that everyone in the original is not only plump and independent, but also trapped in the plot and becomes a part of it.
Because of this, we will all stand on Daisy's side, and Gatsby will always stand on our other side, watching the waiting lamentation endlessly surround the ancient tragedy. What we all insisted on, maybe we have forgotten it, maybe we still remember it, but it can't be realized.
This is just a broken dream story. All the plots, all the characters, all the ups and downs are also paving the way for the green light at the end of the dock to go out.
This book makes me feel wronged. For ourselves. Adults call us "impetuous generation". Americans call it the "lost generation".
Reflections on The Great Gatsby 5. Life is long and there is nothing left.
Some writers write with pens, some with throats, some with ardent hearts, and some with limited lives.
If Fitzgerald doesn't belong to the fourth category, he belongs to the third category at least. When the materialistic atmosphere first swept through Apple City, when the world gradually became incomprehensible.
Disillusionment is eternal: Nick was full of illusions when he first received the invitation to visit Gatsby's house. Until the building was empty, he was still full of illusions-many years later, the illusions floated into the air, and the years were still like knives, unsolved, traceless and dripping blood.
This is new york 90 years ago, and it is a century-old masterpiece. Kerouac's frenzy, Ginsburg's howl: their heavy metals all hit the same starting point: Fitzgerald.
In the last four novels, Fitzgerald describes the modality of the middle-aged crisis in detail: Gordon at the end of Mayday Road is a clue. On both sides of this clue, there are endless scars left by war, thinking and ruins ... When people reach middle age, their ideals are disillusioned and hesitant, and the hardships and pains of life are vividly on the paper.
Carved glass wine jars depict infinite hesitation and a little bitterness: women's loss of face and helplessness in obeying some hidden rules of society will still leave a gap of 1% even if it is effective within 99% confidence interval, which is fatal. The death of Evelyn's son deepened Fitzgerald's torture and roar about the war. However, in the novel, he did not prove to describe the situation of war: there is not a word, it is romantic. Evelyn died not so much of a midlife crisis as of unexplained depression, system, restriction and bondage. ...
"A Winter's Dream" is like Hulun Guerrero:/kloc-being selected for the Spanish national team at the age of 0/9, and he is in high spirits. He wore the captain's armband of Bilbao in his early twenties, and participated in the World Cup at the age of 20, becoming a rare technical player in Clemente's Spanish national team. 1September 5, 998, prats, who played for his country for the first time and even was called up to the national team for the first time, left at the age of 30 with the sea of people in Clemente, our capital. Then, Camacho ended the national team journey of Bilbao No.8 two years later. That year, the eternal Prince Bilbao was only 26 years old. Many of Clement's men had such a tragic fate: felipe minambres, Ferrer and even Kiko. Life, a bumper car, hits right several times, wastes several times without a solution, and finally turns into nothingness. Years later, when recalling the past years, Dexter said, "Oh, man, she (Judy Jones) is only 27 years old this year." Yes, Hulun Guerrero is only 37 this year.
Visit Babylon again. Babel, out of reach: Fitzgerald hinted at the ending with the title. A series of misunderstandings lead to a lifetime of mistakes, and the chain reaction is as powerful as a hydrogen bomb explosion. Nothing, life belongs to nothingness.
Like some heroes in the novel, Fitzgerald died. Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes. Disillusion is the destination of the soul. Like Camus, Fitzgerald's early death is a loss of literature and life and a pity. Probably, defects are also a kind of beauty.
The Great Gatsby is a short story published by American writer Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald on 1925. At the end of the 20th century, American academic authorities selected the 100 best novels in the long history of English literature, and The Great Gatsby ranked second and proudly ranked among the contemporary classics. The appearance of this novel has established Philip's position in the history of modern American literature. He is regarded as a symbol of the "Jazz Age" in America and one of the representative writers of the "Lost Generation".
The Great Gatsby is set in the white circle of the upper and middle class in American society in the 1920s. Everything seen, experienced and felt by the first person "I" constitutes the whole story. I, Nick, a poor clerk, lived next door to the millionaire Gatsby and accidentally broke into the upper class. In the atmosphere of singing and drinking, I was surprised to find the great secret hidden in Gatsby's heart. No one knows how Gatsby succeeded, how Gatsby made a fortune, or even what Gatsby looked like, but no one does not know Gatsby's name and the banquet he presided over. What Gatsby pursues in his heart under the nightly strike is to repeat the past and restore the past, Daisy, the favorite woman in his life. Daisy has married millionaire Tom, but unfortunately, her husband is having an affair. When they meet again five years later, Gatsby may still be Romeo and Daisy will no longer be Juliet. When Gatsby stubbornly pursued his inner yearning, reality shattered his illusory and almost naive dream with a cold attitude.
With impressionist description and calm and enthusiastic style, the author depicts a vivid Gatsby from the perspective of a third party, outlines a beautiful dream that is almost perfect and within reach, and provides us with an opportunity to witness the picture of the upper class envied by everyone. However, he ruthlessly shattered the charming color in front of him with a firm attitude. At the end of the story, Gatsby's funeral was deserted and the banquet was noisy, but Gatsby was warm as spring.
After reading The Great Gatsby, I can't help feeling sorry for Gatsby after reading his experience. When he was a poor boy, he met an upper-class woman, Daisy, at an inappropriate time and regarded her as an ideal pursuit object. In the end, it was nothing and the truth became vulgar. Even when Gatsby hit Daisy's later husband's mistress, Daisy did not hesitate to accuse Gatsby, and she was unmoved after Gatsby was later killed. Gatsby thinks love is too idealistic. Nothing can be too idealistic and stylized, and it must be combined with the corresponding reality, not to mention the United States, which is full of decadent and aimless feelings and people's traditional beliefs no longer exist.
Everyone should have ideals, and ideals are the driving force for one's efforts and struggles. Without ideals, most people will be dragged down by the primitive laziness and inertia in their hearts, and the grandiose environment will make them cynical and lose their original innocence. Having an ideal is a good thing after all, but the ideal must guide you in the right direction, and constantly modify the ideal according to the changes in reality to make it more practical and reasonable. Once the reality deviates from the dream, the ideal is like a lost magnetic compass. The direction pointed by the compass depends entirely on your own feelings and direction, and the direction you follow may be wrong. So what would you do?
There is no doubt that you will buy a new one or borrow one. In short, you won't use that compass again. When it comes to the compass, most people will make the right choice, but once you abstract it to people's ideals, people will not find their mistakes so easily, because most people are unwilling to give up their ideals that they have been fighting for for for a while, and people are afraid that they will still be wrong after changing their ideals. However, don't forget that you have changed them. It means you tried again, but you don't know if you changed it correctly. You know that you have set the wrong direction, but you are afraid to try because of fear or other reasons. Isn't this not worth the loss? Instead of blindly making mistakes, it is better to actively seek different ways to change your direction. Opportunities are not used to be wasted casually, but to improve themselves for those who are prepared and capable of rational thinking.
Although some people failed for their own ideals, like Edison, he kept trying for his own ideal of inventing electric light, and tried more than 1000 materials, which brought the last light to mankind. Imagine if Edison only tried dozens of times, or studied a material repeatedly, without seeking to change and try, then the invention of electric light would be delayed for decades, and some people would use his experiments. Edison replied, "Of course it makes sense. At least I proved that these materials are not suitable for electric lights." It's amazing. It reveals the importance of trying and changing.
Perhaps Edison's invention was the catalyst for the grandiose and degenerate social atmosphere in the United States at that time, but he was not influenced by the social atmosphere at that time. From this point of view, Gatsby and even Fitzgerald are behind him. Gates' simplification of ideals and his pursuit of false ideals make his results and experiences sad. Gatsby is also a summary and interpretation of the essence of America at that time.
Comments on The Great Gatsby 8 Gatsby, once a poor young man, was abandoned by his beloved woman and married another woman. After his official career, in order to see her again, he specially bought a villa opposite her home. He sings every night so that she can attend his party like other guests. When they really reunited as he wished, the old love revived, which made Gatsby almost think that she would give up all her present life and go back to the past with her. However, she can't admit that she never loved her husband. On a crazy and sultry afternoon, she hit her husband's mistress with her car. Of course, Gatsby will take the fall for her. This attracted the third husband's revenge and shot Gatsby in his swimming pool. Daisy, Gatsby's favorite woman, quietly left the city with her husband at this moment.
The Great Gatsby, a book I like. Because Gatsby represents a kind of hope, he may not know that Daisy is a material girl, but he has regarded Daisy as the "green light" in his life, and he is willing to pay all the costs for this easily disillusioned dream. Gatsby's actions will only leave people with criticism. As Nick, the narrator and bystander in the book, said, "I don't agree with Gatsby from beginning to end, but Gatsby represents everything I really despise." He is better than those rotten people combined! " Those rotten people are a group of ordinary people who don't understand the value of dreams. Gatsby is the naive child who paid a heavy price for a dream that has been conceived for too long, and it was only a broken dream in the end.
The reason why you like Gatsby is simple. When you were very young, you would feel the same way as Gatsby. You will feel how wonderful it is to have a dream, and struggle alone just to get closer to your dream. However, when my dream is about to come true, I am timid in front of the shining light of my dream. I shrink back step by step, preferring to shrink into an invisible corner rather than see the ferocious face when my dream comes true. You may not meet the daisy type. All her beauty and aura are just to cater to your desires, and there is no reason why you can't get the result.
Let's see, Gatsby's experience is like we had a crush on someone in the darkest period of our relationship. You dare not apply casually, but pretend to read the books he has read, walk the road he has walked and breathe the breath he has revealed. You will still think that you will spend your life like this and live in his shadow forever. Unexpectedly, the talons of time stole the initial feelings, so you should bid farewell to the lost time calmly, so that you won't be the one who was finally "killed" by the dream in order to relive the old dream like Gatsby.
So there are too many rotten people and too few Gatsby in this world. But we all had dreams like Gatsby's. Although we can't be desperate for our ideals like him, we can at least be an unknown fan of him. Maybe many people are lamenting Gatsby's ending, but I have to say that this is probably Gatsby's best ending. Before he breathed his last breath, he was still waiting for a call from Daisy. The poor innocent man was still worried that Daisy's fear of hitting people could not be eliminated, but he didn't know that Daisy had packed her bags and left with her husband. Gatsby, lost.
After reading The Great Gatsby, I read The Great Gatsby for the first time in high school. I can't understand why Gatsby, the hero, always stubbornly thinks that Daisy is still the one who is simple-minded, loves him deeply and even dies because of her.
Narrator Nick came to new york from his hometown. Next to his residence is a luxurious mansion, which is silent during the day and brightly lit at night, holding a lively banquet. Nick is curious about monopoly's neighbors, why a rich and powerful man lives in West Egg, and his bizarre legends are everywhere. Nick and Gatsby met, and Gatsby gradually revealed a deep feeling: Gatsby was not rich when he was young, but only a major officer. He fell in love with a girl named Daisy, and they soon fell in love. Later, when World War I broke out, Gatsby was transferred to Europe, and Daisy broke up with him and married a dude. Daisy's husband has another mistress, and Daisy's life is rich but empty. Gatsby was convinced that Daisy loved him, but she was carried away by money for a moment. So he worked hard and became a rich man a few years later. He built a luxurious building opposite Daisy's residence, where he sang and laughed all night. And all this is just to get Daisy's attention. Nick was moved by it and went to visit his distant cousin Daisy to express Gatsby's wishes. At the party, Daisy teased Gatsby from time to time, making Gatsby think that she still loves herself and would divorce for herself. In fact, Daisy at this time is not the same as before. She regarded the private meeting with Gatsby as a stimulus and enriched her life. Daisy knocked down her husband's mistress when she was angry. Gatsby said she was driving to protect Daisy, who was already planning to abandon Gatsby. At Daisy's instigation, his mistress's husband shot Gatsby. Gatsby thought Daisy loved herself until he died. Daisy and her husband were traveling in Europe when the funeral was held.
Gatsby's death is the end of his life and the disillusionment of his dream. He ... devoted himself to a wide, vulgar and flashy beauty. Daisy's love for wealth is better than her pursuit of love. She is selfish and will do anything to protect herself. It is a kind of sadness that she is flashy, heartless and pursues luxury. Although Gatsby has long heard that "her voice is full of money", she still lives in an illusory dream she weaves.
After learning about the social situation in the United States after the outbreak of World War I, I seem to understand the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy better. Traditional Puritan moral concepts and religious beliefs such as "diligence and thrift" have gradually been replaced by American hedonism and pragmatism, and people are more pursuing personal wealth and enjoying material life. When money is everything, human nature becomes complicated. Gatsby represents the American people at the bottom. Although disguised as elites, they feel inferior, ignore the cruelty of reality and indulge in illusory dreams. The elites represented by Daisy are empty in heart, selfish and heartless in human nature, and excessively pursue wealth and interests, which is a kind of sorrow for mankind.
Although Gatsby's ending is tragic, his enthusiasm and pursuit of dreams are touching. In an era of interests, having a pure and just mentality in society is the positive energy that society needs.
