    了不起的蓋茨比英文讀后感(二)
    At the beginning of the review, I am afraid but I need mention that I read The Great Gatzby from my paper book, not online, so it might be a little strange in the record of my reading history and also the lack of comments.
    After reading the novel, I sympathized deeply for Gatzby, who dedicated almost his whole life into pursuing Daisy, but eventually was shot down for Daisy’s fault, and also Nick, who narrate this heart-broken story to us. But I believe that all is destined, not only his success, but also his miserable, dramatic ending.
    First, Gatzby meant to be succeed, which was determined by his personality. He was such an absolute perfectionist, fairly speaking, a paranoiac, that he never accept he was inferior to others in all kinds of aspects. He scheduled his life when he was young in order to achieve his goal. He couldn’t live like Tom who dissipated his time on women, also couldn’t like Wilson live so meaninglessly, and his ambition made it impossible for him to be content with common life. After the moment he denied his poor family background, changed his name into Jay Gatzby, he either succeed, or die.
    No matter how, he will succeed. I always believe it because his characteristic promised.
    And I also believe Gatzby would fall in love with a lady with a celebrated background. Because he was a perfectionist , he must long for a charming, wealthy, graceful aristocracy. Daisy was just a representation of perfection, a concrete thing in his dream.
    However, Daisy falls far short of Gatzby’s ideal. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, and hypocritical. She is careless person who smashes thing up and then retreats behind her money. She allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle ever though she herself was driving the car. Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no contact address.
    Gatzby knew exactly what kind of person she was. And the very beginning of the novel, he said “Her voice is full of money”. But how can it matter? His puzzle of life would be incomplete without Daisy, and as we know, he was such a paranoiac that never let it happen. It’s impossible for him to restart.
    Gatzby’s obsession about Daisy and Daisy’s characteristic determined the trend of plot.
    So, it is destined.
    And not only from the plot development we can say Gatzby’s fate was destined, but also from the writer himself. Technically, Gatzby wasn’t a only fictional character, but also the reflection of writer, Fitzgerald himself. He also had a complex relationship of his own. His own experience made him believe that there’s a huge gap between the “natural” rich and the ”new” rich.
    In rich boy, his another novel, he showed his attitude directly:
    Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.
    They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.
    Because of the poverty and adversity they had been through, they always cherish the first glamorous thing dropping in their life. Some of them even take it as the highest goal in life, like Gatzby who considered Daisy as his whole world. When their dream faded out gradually, they might behave like Gatzby, deceive themselves to protect their “little green light” in their heart until their hearts are beaten to pieces by reality.
    At last, I want to use the final sentence in The Great Gaztby as the end, which I consider as the most profound ending I have ever read and inspire me a lot. Gatzby’s dream was always behind him, from the moment he met Daisy and fell in love with her. So what he did was just striving hard back into the past against the current of time, like the ending says:
    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
    了不起的蓋茨比英文讀后感(三)
    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.
    了不起的蓋茨比英文讀后感(四)
    There is a dream,rooted deeply in every American,from the very beginning of theMayFlower,that the great grandfathers of all Americans had been contemplatingand seeking,and of all Americans that has been written in the second sentence of theUnited States Declaration of Independence which states that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."The American Dream (liuxue86.com), is a belief that as long as the United States after a hard struggle will be able to achieve the ideal of a better life, that is, people have to work through their own hard work, courage, creativity and determination to move towards Prosperity,rather than rely on specific social classes and other assistance. This is usually on behalf of the people in the economic success or entrepreneurial spirit.
    Yet, the dream has already became a nightmare,that in the money-orienting,power-persuing minds springing up since the Industry Revolution,Americans have fallen in,not only the way of life through which Americans rifling for more luxurious enjoyment, but the morality of heart that they persued prosperity with all costs of which they were oblivious.
    Luckly,we had people who saw the reality much more clearly than the blind masses,while those were considered Critics of sorts.They pointed out that many versions of the dream equate prosperity with happiness, and that happiness may not always be that simple. These critics suggest that the American Dream may always remain tantalizingly out of reach for some Americans, making it more like a cruel joke than a genuine dream. Fitzgerald was one of them who went the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James, because he depicted the extolled grandest and most boisterous, reckless and merry-making scene(T.S.Elliot)。
    It was five years that Fitzgerald foreseen the latent fatal cancer of Capitalism of American. The Great Gatsby soon came into being,in which first half is comedy,second half is tragidy.In the third--person view,Nike, who learns that his next-door neighbor, who throws lavish parties hosting hundreds of people, is the wealthy, mysterious Jay Gatsby.And the key charactor ,Gatsby, had fallen in love with Daisy in 1917 as an Army Lieutenant stationed near Daisy's hometown, Louisville. After the war, Gatsby came east and bought his mansion near Daisy and Tom, where he hosts parties hoping she will visit.Befor then Gatsby was a man of integrity and honor,who received great respect form the society to his wealth and power.While after his death,he was merely remembered,forgottern in the flew of time and lust. These parties were fashionable, but pointless. It was only a show-off of Gatsby’s riches and material success. The crowds hardly knew their host; many came and went without invitation.
    The music, the laughter and the faces, all blurred as one confused mass, showed the purposelessness and the loneliness of the party-goers beneath their marks of relaxation and joviality. All this was typical of “the Jazz Age”, when many people lost belief in American dream and indulge themselves in drinking and dancing. The great expectations which the first settlement of the American continent brings vanish, and so despair and doom set in.In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars…On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.
    “Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York----every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves.” (Chapter 3, 52)
    The exavagent life, the noisy people constitute Gatsby’s parties. However, the depiction of the fashionable and meaningless parties served to highlight Gatsby’s tragedy by contrasting the grandeur of his party with his violent death, with the frustration of his dream. Gatsby’s funeral was rather deserted and cheerless compared with his parties. It’s a record of human coldness. Nick had invited some people to come to Gatsby’s funeral. These people were all Gatsby’s so-called friends. They found a lot of excuses for their absence because they knew clearly that Gatsby was no longer useful for them. Gatsby’s generous parties had not brought him even one friend. What’s more, Daisy, once Gatsby’s lover, the real killer, “hadn’t sent a message or a flower”。(Chapter 9, 233)The sharp contrast between the exavagence of the parties and the coldness of the funeral revealed the hypocritical relationship among people and the moral degradation of the Jazz Age.
    Gatsby, though his wealth came from his criminal activities,was the typical symbol of American dream in that time,and the whole-hearted dedication of Gatsby and his sincere belief in what he did made him heroic, and this submerged the unpleasant details so that they did not seem important in the final outcome,as has the American dreammer who were so stubborn to believe perspirition would bring what they want.
    The real killer who murderred Gatsby was the society,in which people could become rich overnight by non-moral means.A poor beautiful girl could marry a wealthy boy who may not be handsome for the purpose of being rich,and a young man could find a job in which he would do nothing but be paid.While Gatsby, the true heir to the American dream,was killed by Conspiracy of his lover Daisy ,who was actually stimulated by the vanity fair, and lived in luxury at the cost of Gatsby, to whom without mercy. The cruel reality smashed Gatsby’s dream. Fitzgerald’s comment on the failure of Gatsby’s dream was also a statement on the failure of American dream. The contrast of the dream and the reality significantly indicated a moving away from faith and hope in a world where material interests had driven out sentimentality and faith. What is more, dream, even if it persists, is utterly helpless and defenseless against a material society. It can only be defeated. Gatsby was an example. Owing to his unrealistic dream, Gatsby’s fate turned out to be a tragedy. Because he was not conscious of his unrealistic dream of love and he did not correctly handle contradictions between ideal and reality, Gatsby sunk into this kind of unreal dream so deeply that he can’t wake up. And the final result of Gatsby was surely miserable.
    The Great Gatsby is Fitzgerald’s finest novel. “sensitive and symbolic treatment of themes of contemporary life related with irony and pathos to the legendry of the American dream.” ——《The Oxford Companion to American Literature》
    The sharp contrast between dream and reality not only explains Gatsby’s failure at the end, it also explains the meaninglessness of that age. In a word, these contrasts provide the readers with a panorama of 1920s. And in the contrast, the theme of the novel ----the disillusion of the American dream ----is strengthened. In the mean time,the loss of the American dream reflects the corruption of people’s morality.

    了不起的蓋茨比中文讀后感(一)
    看任何小說都是在其中尋找與自己的契合點(diǎn)。某句話和某個(gè)詞在小說特定的場景下引起我們思想上的共鳴,或者是安自己的思維聯(lián)想到和小說毫無關(guān)系但自己感處很深的遙遠(yuǎn)的地方。我的讀后感都是“自我式”的注解,不是對小說本身的解讀,而是由小說聯(lián)系到我自己和小說本身并無關(guān)系。我的思維面很窄,每本小說的讀后感都是萬變不離其宗,那就是我的理想和處事原則及一些很常識的小想法。很幼稚!但我想留下一些成長的痕跡,呈上自己的拙見,請看過本文的大家指點(diǎn)迷津。謝謝!
    帶著功績從戰(zhàn)場回來的蓋茨比頭腦中抱著自以為很權(quán)威的思想~“只有金錢能夠捕捉和把握青春和密秘”這是曾經(jīng)可怕的過去給他留下的至理名言。以這句話為信仰,蓋茨比在自己編織的幻想中懷抱著夢想守望了黛西五年!待到相見時(shí),其實(shí)黛西并不是他夢想的那個(gè)人,他的幻想超越了她,超越了一切。作為旁觀者的尼克清醒的看到了一切,但蓋茨比的幻想還是停留在最初的美好上。我喜歡看小說的主要原因就是我可以站在小說的整個(gè)情節(jié)之外鳥瞰一切,像尼克一樣把他人的一切清楚的看透但不說透,不參與事情的發(fā)展。但是尼克沒理清他和喬丹的關(guān)系,他也參與了蓋茨比的幻想,而且更不幸的是獨(dú)自收拾幻想破滅后的散落一地的碎片與悲涼。
    蓋茨比幻想中的黛西,使我更加堅(jiān)信“距離產(chǎn)生美”。距離給人以想象的空間,人在潛意識中會把對方想成你理想中的樣子,在無形中使其形象越來越美。我相信距離產(chǎn)生美,但我會克意的不用想象評論一個(gè)人,我更堅(jiān)信“主觀臆斷”這個(gè)詞的無孔不入。這也是我不支持網(wǎng)戀的主要原因,僅僅靠聊天就能情深意動拿一生來承諾?我很懷疑,感覺這樣太冒險(xiǎn)了,在雙方眼中都對對方添加了很多的想象成份。這只是我目前的看法可能以后會轉(zhuǎn)變吧?我身邊還是不乏網(wǎng)上相識的例子,他們很幸福。祝福他們永遠(yuǎn)幸福,用行動來駁倒我的想法。尼克很識趣,總是把自己的評價(jià)藏在心里,對所有的人都保留判斷。這使我想起了兩句話:“當(dāng)一件事有兩個(gè)人知道就不再是秘密”和“能保守秘密的人才會知道更多的秘密”。我其實(shí)對他人的秘密沒有多大的好奇心,但我應(yīng)該和尼克一樣,閑談莫論他人非,不是不感興趣,只是怕自找沒趣。
    我對于幻想的看法對我的夢想產(chǎn)生了消極的情緒,為了不失望就不抱著希望,這樣很有因噎廢食的嫌疑。擔(dān)心失望就不敢再有憧憬,這使我感覺夢想就是一個(gè)泡沫,被幻想吹的越來越大,一天沒有實(shí)現(xiàn),我就得為它的爆破而提心掉膽,而且這種恐懼感還會與日俱增。怎么辦?天下本無事,庸人自擾之。想的太多會變的無力,很多時(shí)候我們應(yīng)該像小時(shí)候想努力了就會勇往直前而不去想那么多的成功還是失敗,也不去計(jì)較付出的回報(bào)率是多少。傻傻的執(zhí)著,沒心沒肺的埋頭,水到渠成時(shí)也感覺不到那就是所謂的成功。
    小說《了不起的蓋茨比》寫的是一戰(zhàn)以后的故事,但沒讀出過失的滄桑感。我個(gè)人喜歡讀年代久遠(yuǎn)的小說,很少看現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上傳的現(xiàn)代小說。我總認(rèn)為一本好的小說能時(shí)間上馳騁,不受歲月的侵蝕,而且是歷久彌新,在今天看來仍不失當(dāng)年魅力。就像蓋茨比對黛西的愛之深我們體會的到,但是我不能理解。我知道男和女之間有種超過同性別的吸引力,很遺憾我沒有感同身受的經(jīng)歷也想象不出那有多大的力量。所以我的讀后感與這部小說的主旨有偏頗。
    我沒看出愛的偉大但我看出蓋茨比愛的慌唐,蓋茨比是個(gè)很有能力的人,當(dāng)他叫“杰伊,蓋茨比”的時(shí)候就用自己的薄力選擇了別樣人生,很欣賞他的魄力!他對生活的承諾具有超乎尋常的敏感,這種敏感和“創(chuàng)造性氣質(zhì)”無關(guān),它是一種異乎尋常的滿懷憧憬的天賦。
    每一本小說中都能找到人性的真善美和丑惡!人之初,性本善。但每次都感覺描寫丑陋比刻畫善美逼真。我應(yīng)該怎樣尋找人性的真善美呢?
    了不起的蓋茨比英文讀后感(二)
    最初,我以為《了不起的蓋茨比》講的是比爾蓋茨的故事,當(dāng)初買這本書也是出于想更多的了解比爾蓋茨,沒想到《了不起的蓋茨比》是一部美國當(dāng)代小說,20世紀(jì)末,美國學(xué)術(shù)界權(quán)威在百年英語文學(xué)長河中選出一百部最優(yōu)秀的小說,《了不起的蓋茨比》高居第二位。鬧了個(gè)不大不小的玩笑,不管是不是講比爾蓋茨的,總歸說是一部名著,可是自己只看了此書前五十頁之后,再也無法讀下去,真不知道這書怎么獲得那么高的贊譽(yù)?直到前些天,我看過同名電影之后,我的想法才得以改變。我喜歡電影里那道綠光,因?yàn)槟堑谰G光,我又拿起原著重新讀開,希望這次能有不同第一次讀的感受!
    捧著書,讀了一周,終于讀完,最大的感覺就是電影版拍的非常好,忠于原著,如果不是先看過電影,我一定無法堅(jiān)持下去讀完這本書。
    看了別人對此書的讀后感,有高度有深度,我什么也寫不出來。只是對蓋茨比惋惜,為了一個(gè)不值得的拜金女葬送自己的生命!對上流社會有了一點(diǎn)了解,沒人性,自私,傲慢,冷漠,那樣一個(gè)世界,那樣一群人,真是讓人心寒!
