中文摘要:本文试图用物质和意识的关系这一哲学原理来分析《伟大的盖茨比》书中主人公们的爱情观。结合当时的社会背景，分别分析盖茨比，黛西，玛蒂尔的家庭背景及他们在此背景下对爱情生活的追求，由此分析出他们截然不同的爱情观：一方面是以黛西为代表的物质主义派，他们虚伪、冷漠、自私，爱情只不过是他们用来追求更多财富的手段和工具；另一方面是以盖茨比为代表的下层人民：他们固执的追求巨额财富，他们以为只要有了足够的钱就能真正的踏入上层社会，就能拥有真正的爱情，然而在这一过程中他们又显得单纯而且还稍带了一些愚蠢。

　　　Fitzgerald was promoted as a lieutenant for his bravery and good performance in the army. He met Zelda Sayre, who was an officer’s daughter, and he fell in love with the wild seventeen-year-old girl. However, Zelda had never wanted to marry him for his poor. Although Zelda agreed to marry him finally, her overwhelming desire for wealth, fun, and leisure led her to delay their wedding until Fitzgerald could prove a success. But he didn't success until the publication of This Side of Paradise in 1920. Only after the publication could he earn enough money and fame to convince Zelda to marry him. For his experiences of love in his early age, many of these events was written in his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby, which was published in 1925. For example, Nick Carraaway who was a thoughtful young man from Minnesota, and educated at Ivy League school was the incarnation of Fitzgerald.
