篇二：What Makes The Great Gatsby Great？

What Makes The Great Gatsby Great？

Fitzgerald is one of the most important novelists in America in the 20th century. His masterpiece, The Great Gatsby established his status as the embodiment of the spirit of the Jazz Age in American literature. The author skillfully uses his imagination to give the deeper meaning to this love tragedy: destruction of the American dreams. Besides, successfully using the double-mastered writing style, he put his own experience and the individual part of his personality into his works, interpreted the American teenagers’ common mentality and his own point of view towards the world and recurred the outlook of American Jazz Age. It is so vivid that we cannot even figure out whether it’s just a novel or a real life.

Being a transitional period of prosperity from tradition to modern after World War 1, the Jazz Ages saw varied women groups which are focused on money and marriage. In this age, the capitals have accumulated in a fast speed, consumer consciousness soared, people are urgent to manifest themselves immediately and do things unconventionally or unorthodoxly. “I understand that you are looking for a business gonnegtion.”（p76）that the sentence by Mr. Wolfshiem said to Nike. It indicates that it is a money world. In the world of old and new, the traditional convention has been shackled and been changed quickly. In Jazz Age, this novel discusses how females balance money and marriage in a much more open way. More

and more people are condemning females for their double-standard of love and marriage: at first, they own beauty, rich family and pure value of love, but they created tragedy to themselves because of the temptation of their families and the age and the male chauvinism. However, this is also a material age. Daisy is the incarnation of Gatsby’s dream. But Daisy’s charm is linked with wealth. In Gatsby’s eyes, she is also the incarnation of wealth, a “golden lady”. “Her voice is full of money”(p128), this is what Gatsby describes Daisy. Actually, his pursuit of Daisy is also the manifestation of the pursuit of wealth.

In the transition period of economy and society, the tragedy of “golden lady” represented by Daisy is paradoxical. For them, love is redundant and they had no choice but to indulge in the dilemma of true love and money. Therefore, their marriage would end in failure. As far as I am concerned, females should establish correct value of love and marriage to avoid being the slaves of money and male society. They should choose their love and marriage through their own economical and social independence instead of indulging in the era tragedy.

In a world, the author wants to through this novel to describe a bad time of America. And there is no doubt that he did it. And I think this is the reason why the novel is so great.
