了不起的盖茨比论文研究背景

Written by American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1925, the setting of The Great Gatsby is at both Long Island's North Shore and New York City, during the period immediately after the First World American economy soared during these "roaring" 1920s and society enjoyed the subsequent prosperity. This period was also the first to have Prohibition, which, by banning the sale and manufacture of alcohol, conversely made millionaires out of bootleggers. The Great Gatsby was republished in both 1945 and 1953 and increased its already-wide readership.

《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家菲茨杰拉德写的一部以20世纪20年代的纽约市及长岛为背景的短篇小说，被视为美国文学“爵士时代”的象征。小说描写了美国西部一个来自社会下层的青年盖茨比，梦想通过个人奋斗获得真正的幸福和爱情，但最终幻梦破灭，遭人暗算身亡的悲剧。盖茨比“一生的遭遇正是美国二十年代社会生活的真实写照”。[1]纵观盖茨比短暂的一生，不过是美丽而又虚幻、光彩而又凄凉的一场梦。他徘徊在醉与醒、梦境与现实之间，在一个颓废的社会徒守着最初的梦想，甚至不惜用非法的手段去捍卫这份纯真。一场梦，一场虚无，繁华落尽，凄凉无限，作家通过多种意象为我们呈现了这首关于理想的寓言诗篇，让我们见证了一场绚丽多情的梦怎样在锣鼓喧天的爵士乐中黯然消逝。第一次世界大战结束后,美国经济空前繁荣,而道德观念则在新的社会背景下发生了剧变。到处呈现的是一派歌舞升平、欢快享乐的气氛,年轻的一代抛开了传统的道德和价值观,陷入纸醉金迷、享受作乐的生活当中。传统的道德理想宗教信念在新时代的冲击下全部瓦解。1925年，《了不起的盖茨比》出版，反映了“爵士乐时代”的生活,表现了“美国梦”的幻灭。在这里，他以诗化的笔调、浪漫的色彩，描绘了一幅为理想所背叛的美国悲剧。
