篇一：《了不起的盖茨比》读后感
《了不起的盖茨比》读后感
我年纪还轻，阅历不深的时候，我父亲教导我一句话，我至今念念不忘。 “每逢你想要批评任何人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住，这个世界上所有的人，并不是个个都有过你那些优越的条件。”
——《了不起的盖茨比》
不知有多少人是因为村上春树才读菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的盖茨比》，我只是其中的一个。但是还有一个原因，那就是电影版的《了不起的盖茨比》是我最喜欢的美国演员莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥担任男主角，村上多次在他的作品里提到过菲茨杰拉德和《了不起的盖茨比》，如果没记错的话，第一次知道菲茨杰拉德是因为读《挪威的森林》，后来好奇，就决定看一遍《了不起的盖茨比》菲茨杰拉德用了第一人称内聚焦的叙事方式，通过尼克的回忆来讲故事，他既是当局者，又是旁观者。作为当局者，他是盖茨比的邻居，是黛西的远房表哥，是汤姆的旧相识，他和乔丹交往，参加盖茨比的奢华派对，帮盖茨比搭起与黛西重聚的桥梁，他目睹汤姆与盖茨比之间的冲突，知道茉特尔出事的真相，他处理盖茨比的后事? ?作为旁观者，他从不识盖茨比到成为盖茨比的送殡人，这短短日子里的经历令他最终看透了他接触过的那些人，看清了他所生存的那个“黄金”年代的美国社会? ?
我们通过尼克进入故事，以他的角度来观察、分析和思考，通常运用第一人称内聚焦这种叙事手法都会令人读得如临其境，真实感极强。
真实到连故事里每个人所向往和追求的似乎都是应该被理解的真实，包括盖茨比。虽然盖茨比追求的是一个看似虚无的梦想，但他需要的同样也是一种真实，一个黛西，一段他自以为暂停的爱情。可是实与虚又好像是一体的，黛西是真实的，而盖茨比苦苦追求的爱情梦想却如他豪宅对岸的小绿灯一般虚无缥缈，黛西无情的离开，盖茨比的被害，葬礼的冷清? ?盖茨比的苦心经营最终换来的是一场空，他追求的梦只是一个短暂而美丽的气泡。
通过尼克之口来讲盖茨比的故事是最合适的，从某种意义上来讲，尼克和盖茨比是同一种人。因为盖茨比死后，尼克还一直以为黛西会回来，至少会打个电话，还以为昔日参加盖茨比派对的“朋友”会来参加葬礼，直到最后没接到黛西
一个电话，直到在五号路遇见汤姆以后，尼克才渐渐领悟到些什么。在尼克心中，盖茨比始终都了不起，他既是当初搞奢华派对的富豪盖茨比，也是最后活在他心中的追梦赤子盖茨比。
盖茨比是一个了不起的人，他的了不起在于他无所顾忌地爱着黛西多年，他的心是纯粹的。虽然盖茨比经过多年的奋斗，进入了上流社会的圈子，他从来不为金钱、权力与荣誉所动，事业上的建构是为了与黛西更接近。不幸的是，他的一生以悲剧结束，包括他梦寐以求的爱情。

篇二：了不起的盖茨比读后感(英文)
What Makes The Great Gatsby Great？
Recently, I have read a classical novel, The Great Gatsby, Francis Key Fitzgerald is the author, who is one of the most outstanding writers in 20th century.
I think all the plots in the novel are similar to the something happens in the today’s society. The story is told by Nick(Daisy’s cousin),who witnesses a lot the ugly aspects of the society and human characters. Here is the story goes: Tom and Daisy married for a time and live in East Egg. In their opposite, living a very great wealthy man, called Gatsby. He hold parties day and night and get famous for this. Actually, Daisy and Gatsby fell in love a few years ago. At that time, Gatsby was very poor and dispatched into Europe because of war. Then, they broke up and Daisy married Tom, the second-generation rich. Latter, Gatsby comes back with social position and big fortunate, and he continues loving Daisy. At a car accident, Daisy kills the Tom’s mistress. To protect Daisy, Gatsby takes all the responsibility of the accident. Finally, Wilson (the husband of mistress) shoots Gatsby under the instigation of Tom. And Tom and Daisy set foot on Europe’s travelling.
I think everyone feels pity for the Gatsby, for his infatuation to Daisy and for his foolish love, like the following two descriptions.①“--Was Daisy driving? ---Yes, he said after a moment, but of course I’ll say I was.”(p154) ②“the chauffeur –he was one of Wolfshiem’s
protégés-heard the shoots-”(p172).As we can see Gatsby undertakes the responsibility of the accident and that’s his cold ending. So what makes The Great Gatsby Great？I think the answer also is the image of Gatsby. Because of his profound love to Daisy even though the others become selfish and sophisticated in the society. He devotes himself to making big fortune for expecting Daisy’s return; he take responsibility of car accident at the expense of being put in the prison. Yes, this great man displays something called Profound Love when the society members’ hearts becoming colder and colder. And I always feel sympathetic to Gatsby’s consequence. We may say how stupid he is to pay so much to Daisy, but in other words, how persistent he is to his believing about love. He always thinks that all his behaviors can make Daisy change her mind and come back.
Gatsby is a tragic hero in the novel, maybe his profound love and strong faith lead to his bad ending. But I always believe this two valuable things are the writer appeals to in that time, also works in today’s. Here’s my understanding to the question What Makes The Great Gatsby Great？
篇三：《了不起的盖茨比》英文读后感
Pursuit for dreams
—after reading The Great Gatsby
I have heard of the famous novel The Great Gatsby for many years. However, until recently have I got the time and mood to read it. As soon as I finish reading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.
This is a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’. During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upper class girl named Daisy. But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided to marry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby. Broken-hearted Gatsby then held the conviction that money was of the greatest importance. He strongly believed in the ‘American dreams’, which as we all know, advocates that one can achieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts. He strived for five years to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her. He was too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovely girl she used to be. Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.
After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I can’t help thinking of the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey. One thing may be the lonely void of people’s spiritual world. I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vivid description of a party is given.
There were beautiful girls, drunk men, and boisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their lives and the barren of their minds. To see this phenomenon deeper, there were two circumstances underlying it. The first is the lack of dreams. Some people, especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life. They wasted their time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life. They chased for temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom. The second is the misleading of dreams. Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursued their dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously. They might mix up the concept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and a peaceful fulfilled life as equality. Unfortunately, when they were busy chasing their dreams, everything changed with time. When they were anxious about the to-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to the constant changes. The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this idea perfectly. The imagery of ‘green light’ is the most important symble which occurred three times in the novel. The green-light’s obscure in the mist indicates the dim of Gatsby’s dreams.
As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us. To live a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. And in the process of fulfilling our dreams, we
should always be concious about what we really desire. Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get to the deep springs of happiness.
