摘要
《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家菲茨杰拉德所写的一本小说,这部小说通常被认为是菲茨杰拉德最重要的杰作。大多数对于这部伟大著作的文学评论聚焦于这部小说的主题,并且在大多数情况下,都认为这部小说的主题是“美国梦”的幻灭。但是，很少有文学评论讨论或者揭示过这部伟大的著作中被巧妙地保留和表达的对于美国梦的希望,而关于这种隐含的希望的解读将能极大地帮助读者更好地理解作者想要传达的生活姿态和思想内涵。本文旨在通过略论这部伟大著作中一些关键人物的塑造来说明这部小说中究竟表达了一种什么样的关于美国梦的希望,以及这种希望是如何被表达的。本文着重揭示了盖茨比高傲、寂寞和无力的对现实藐视对抗的这么一种生活态度或者生活姿态,而这也正是作者菲茨杰拉德所想要展现的。本文还对小说中的另外一些主要人物进行了对比略论。在本文的另一部分中,文章在超验主义的视角下重新审视了美国梦,指出美国梦在这部小说中实际上获得了重生。
