　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(一)：Gatsby人物分析 ----- 一个时代错误

我想分析盖茨比这个人，他的性格，他做这一切的原因，以及他的心理。我会按时间顺序阐述。
他从小十分理想化，十分浪漫，十分有抱负。
He was a son of God- a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that – and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty.
他认为自己是上帝的儿子，一定会有所成就。他敢为，敢于抓住机会。
但他陷入了爱情，他知道爱情和他的抱负是互相矛盾的，但他最终选择了Daisy而不是自己的上帝般的理想和抱负。Daisy成为了他的信念和追求。
He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of god.
他执着，为什么？因为在爱上Daisy后，他丢失了某样东西，他的生活开始混乱。或许是得不到Daisy的原因——他的信念和追求变成Daisy，可是他又得不到她；他又失去了本身毫无羁绊的对个人的理想和抱负的追求的信念和欲望，所以他感到空虚，他不知道他变成了什么。His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was…
或许他丢失的是追求个人抱负的自由与不羁；或许他只是不习惯现在的自己，“丢失”的其实是以前的自己；亦或是他丢失了追求到他的信念的必然性，因为他的信念从前是他变成了一个有思想独立的人，这不是他所能掌控的。
所以他想回去，他想回去重新开始，再一次感受那时他自己的感觉，从而寻找出在那期间他选择了什么，他丢掉了什么，他自己是如何改变的。他是一个自我意识很强的人，他不是一个愿意迷茫浑噩地度过一生的人；对于他来说，他一定要对自己清醒，他要知道自己处于什么状态，现在要的是什么，将来要的是什么？这也是为什么他那么执着于他的信念，因为他需要一个目标，一个追求，一个清晰的人生目标。
可是，他没有认清现实，或是他不相信现实，于是他定了一个不可能实现的目标，驶向一个错误的方向。他相信他能恢复过去。他对Daisy的追求已经不仅仅是爱情，更多的是为他自己的信念。
其实他对现实是有意识的，在他，Nick，Tom和Daisy一起准备去城市，在他和Nick单独两人呆在一起时，他说：“Her voice is full of money. (Daisy的声音中充满了金钱。)”他已经意识到了，可是他依旧选择相信——他的人生没有别的方向。
 “Can’t repeat the past？” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can？”
这便是他了不起的原因——他对信念的追求大过于他对现实利益的追求；这一点在盲目积累现实利益的社会中更显难得。不过，这也使他被蒙蔽，导致了他的破碎。不过，从另一面看来，自从他出生起拥有这个性格，自从他爱上Daisy，整件事的发生也是必然的。
而现实是什么？现实是冷漠，随意的。Tom和Daisy什么都不在乎，他们不在乎人，不在乎爱，不在乎伤害与痛苦；他们只想要自己活得舒服——活得什么都不在乎，想做什么就做什么，从来不承担责任。其实Daisy一直为Tom不爱她而痛苦，可是为什么她不离婚呢？她仍然在意名声与地位，她也不想关心，费心思想更多的事。她不想拥有真实的感情，因为那会累。什么都不用关心，这就是他们最舒服的状态。
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
信念只能作为信念，不能真正去追求，因为信念的实现并不在现实中存在。
所以，当信念是一个现实中的事物，追寻不到的原因是社会与时代和人群的错误，追寻信念在旁人看来是很悲伤的 —— 看着追寻的人被欺骗 —— 他有意识，可是拥有并追求信念的欲望还是太强烈。当信念是一个理想中的产物，现实生活中不存在，这或许还更好，因为它不能被证明是错的，你只是去相信，不会去追求。
He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it.
结果便是，追寻的人追寻信念，可是信念存在于一个错误的方向，自然，追寻的人驶向一个错误的方向。
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
盖茨比无法阻挡地驶向过去，可是过去并不能到达，于是，在那一个现实与过去的临界点，过去塌了，信念没了，现实呢，一并崩塌。一切都没了。
盖茨比是个时代错误，他的死去并不会令我感到悲伤，只会引发我对他的尊敬与对当时社会隐隐的绝望。因为，我不希望他行尸走肉般地活着。

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(二)：Masquerades in The Great Gatsby

Masquerades in The Great Gatsby
---Analysis of Opulent Parties in Chapter 3
In chapter 3, Fitzgerald gives us an extremely specific portrait of the opulent parties Gatsby throws in his house. After reading it, I regard those parties as a kind of masquerade. In Gatsby’s masquerade, people wear invisible masks and dress up as ladies or gentlemen to hide their “corruption, grossness and cowardice”, which also happens in the whole American society in Jazz Age.
The blatant atmosphere in the masquerade is to some extent the same as the atmosphere of the whole society. The profligate parties, the flatulent decorated halls, the constantly changing light, the noisy chatters, the automatically spilled-out guffaw and the arty music, altogether constructing the whole masquerade, can symbolize not only the prosperity of Jazz Age but also the prevailing corruption, hypocrisy and immorality behind it. Isn’t it like masquerades with thousands of hideous faces behind the fancy masks？ “…the air is alive with…casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot and enthusiastic meeting between women who never knew each other’s names” indicates a similar scene of a fascinated drama that people are role-playing upper-class guests enchanted by the motor-boat, Rolls-Royce, the buffet table garnished with glistening hors-d’oeuvre, the orchestra etc. They gradually lose themselves in the fickleness of material affluence and their hypocritical masks which sticking to their faces firmly have become part of them. In the daily hustle and bustle, it’s not likely to see each other’s real faces hiding under their elaborate masks. What’s worse, they are unable or disdain to reveal themselves from their disguise because they are so panic about exposing their empty soul and ending up nothing but ordinary.
Likewise, different people in Gatsby’s masquerade symbolize different group with various level of hypocrisy and immorality in the whole society. Nick, who turns out to be bored by the party, can be the only sober person getting rid of the deadly attraction of the extravagant masquerade. Sometimes he was distracted by the luxuries and vain beauty, but he can always get back on track. He is the only person who does not seek to hide behind a certain mask. He stands for the standard of morality provided by Fitzgerald. Jordan Baker, who always appears with contemptuous interests in other things, feels safer to disguise behind a mask with an insolent smile in a disordered masquerade. To keep her mask, she resorted to all sorts of subterfuges. She is somewhat like a social butterfly that indulges herself to flirt at will and stay mysterious. Gatsby, the mastermind of these masquerades, dresses up as an upper-class, with a naive idealistic heart and money-driven brain. Filling his bookshelves with profound books and ordering the music of a Mr. Whoever Master’s latest works, he tried to impress the whole world with his arty taste and fraternal hilarity. He uses a vivid mask of a noble gentleman as a cover to his real identity as a bootlegger, a unscrupulous fortune hunter and an immature idealist. And the figure of such childish and misbehaved idealist can be seen everywhere in the whole society.
To conclude, by exposing people’s artificial masks and their behaviors in masquerades, Fitzgerald shows us the epitome of the whole American Jazz Age, and inspired more to think of the deterioration of corruption and hypocrisy back then.
哈哈哈，大学的习作，没想到现在无聊还能找得出来，放上来纪念一下自己当年的水平。确实很多表达是不准确的，但也不知道如何更准确，可是很难得的回忆。那时候我们梦想自己或许要成为作家，诗人，书评人...

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(三)：American Dream Shall Never Die!

#書# 《The Great Gatsby》
我終於TMD逼自己讀完了這本書，沒有記錯的話高中時候翻開中文版就半途而廢。
而這本4年前買的書，打開應該有5次，終於在幾個月前看完電影版後咬牙切齒寫血書立毒誓下定決心啃完這根硬骨頭。
很不愉快的讀書經驗，為了讀完而讀完，一路出現不懂但又不是很重要的修飾詞，停下來不是，查單詞也不是，就像吃飯時若有若無的細沙，想吐出來但又嫌麻煩。大部分不懂的單詞都是在渲染azz年代的奢華和空無，和雨果的《巴黎聖母院》這類記錄社會環境不相上下。故事和結構不算複雜也不新奇（對於差不多百年前的名著用“新奇”來要求好像太苛刻了），所以總是讓人很難堅持讀下去。
比較書和電影，電影改編不算合我口味，雖然顏色和音樂精彩再現了時代特有的奢華與空虛。不過相對於書裡面Gatsby在無望等待中被殺，連何時死去都無人確切知道，我還是更喜歡電影結局的處理，起碼他是在電話鈴聲響起時微笑滿足的死去，他可以永遠夢下去，不再擔心夢醒後愛人的離去……
American Dream Shall Never Die!

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(四)：读完gatsby~

可以说是一本奇书了，场景设置得不多，但是故事那么离奇那么引人入胜，根本猜不到结尾，甚至猜不到它的走向和脉络。主人公在书写了三分之一才出现。
所以对这么一本好书，我觉得先看电影是一个大大的失败。眼睛里不断闪现那个设定好的daisy，还有小李。小李倒是选角挺适当的呵呵。当然唯一和书有出入的地方是daisy或者nick都没有打电话来，但是电影里可能很难表现这一点，所以让电话铃响了一下，然后gatsby去接电话的时候被射中了。这个改编倒也不错啊，有点悬念。
daisy撞死了tom的mistress，结果是gatsby死了，好吧，为何作者那么偏爱daisy。大概在他的心里，女人只要是pretty fool就可以了。就像daisy对她女儿的希望。

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(五)：disillusionment of dream

Setting in the prosperous long island of 1922, just after the World War I, begins the story. Nick Carraway, created as the narrator, leads the whole plots in his view.
The symbolic meaning is apparent in this novel as the writer had used to express his anger and depression that happened in his real life.
The green light situated at the end of Daisy’s dock represents Gatsby’s unattainable dream. Although the color of green can mean hope and promising future, Gatsby’s pursuit towards Daisy in doomed to be impossible. His regards the green light the guiding star that leads him to his goal as Daisy’s coming back would be the best approval of his abilities. In this novel, the green light represents not only the future that Gatsby is searching, but also the reminder of the happy past with Daisy. In some senses, American dreams comes from the past, and made Gatsby persist in the past foundation. He missed the happy past with Daisy and made attempt to retrieve it. However the green light can also be seen as something has long gone and would never come back, indicating the disillusionment of American dream.
The eyes of the T.J.Eckleburg are a pair of eyes with glasses painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. It can be embodied with different meanings towards different people. I personally think it can be regarded as the eyes of the rich watching the poor people living their miserable lives. The twist in morality and humanity is so obvious in this. There’s no equality for poor people.
The geographical contrast between the east egg and west egg shows the conflicts between different values. West egg represents the new emergence of the rich who lives in extravagant life while the east egg symbolizing the old rich who always enjoys the high social status. The geographical distinction reveals the fact that even Gatsby becomes rich. He could never become the number of the upper class. Besides, the geographical distance between east egg and west egg also signifies that Daisy and Gatsby could never be together.
The ash of valley, lying between the west egg and New York consisting dumping ashes and sweaty people, hints the decay of American society hidden under the glitter surface of the upper class.
Also, a lot of tragedies happened there. The adultery of Tom and Myrtle happened there, Myrtle’s died there and the poor George Wilson who cried over his wife’s death and decided to give up his own life. The whole place represents the misery of people who lives in the valley of ashes.
There’s no doubt that Gatsby is the most special idealist in this novel, “I became aware of Gatsby’s extraordinary gift for hope” as Nick says. Even at the night before he died, he was so convinced that Daisy would call. He interjected Nick’s words several times reiterating “She will call. She just needs some time to think it through.”
In the beginning narrating of Nick, he said “in my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice; always try to see the best in people. As a consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgments.” But in the end of this novel, he said to Gatsby “They’re a rotten crowd. You are worth the whole damn bunch put together.” and judged Daisy and Tom “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed things and people and retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness. ” Nick’s judgment can be seen as the author’s opinion. With the much alike experience with Gatsby, he made a compliment to himself through Nick.

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(六)：终于看完了

这本来应该是个薄薄的小册子，却迁延日久才终于看完。兴起看的念头还是电影上映，如今终于可以去看看电影了。不知道是文化的背景的原因，还是时代的原因，读起来总是不十分顺遂，有些地方也就凑合过去了。
这是个伤感的故事。感觉前1/3都没有进入正题，但正因为有这1/3的铺垫，后文才如此引人入胜。借由对Daisy的爱情，故事能够远远的超脱了爱情。故事揭示Gatsby和Daisy过去的时候大约克算得一个高潮，即使事先有些剧透，也还是十分震撼的。随后不断峰回路转，却渐趋平淡，直到最后，如此真实，又如此恍然如梦。字里行间溢出的虚无与悲凉大约很能触动工业社会催生的大批能吃饱饭的文艺青年。

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(七)：A Quiet American Romance

Gatsby came with a tender heart. He tough-mindedly succeeded in a world of violence and turned it into a soft romantic tale. So although he came from nothing, he also had the admirable ability to build from nothing. Inside his mansion, he dreamed the promise of love. It was the exuberant dreams that filled his heart bearing upon which a reassured vulnerability faintly embellished by his mystified new life. But even with his unshakable heart, nothing stopped his dream from being shattered-- by a weak-willed reality that he never entrusted. With the glamor of his West Egg mansion washed away, the passionate long island sound capable of driving him from nothingness to great receded. It left behind only a tinted ripple of silence.

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(八)：Gatsby is Great

It has been more than twenty days since I first opened this book. Now I would say, I don't regret for it at all.
This is a story about growing up, about the cruel society, about American dream. It is not easy to make a conclusion as the topic, or I would say there are so many ways for you to do it so I got confused in a moment.
Finally, I made up my mind to talk about the story in a topic like this: Gatsby is great. Who thinks Gatsby is great？ At the beginning of the story, Gatsby appeared at the big party with the profound, attractive smile, like the lord. As the development of the plot, we found that all the things Gatsby used to tell people are just bubbles, which are really splendid, but fragile. It took Gatsby years to build up the building of dream inside him, and the one who is standing on the top is Daisy. Daisy, who is Gatsby's highest dream, living in Gatsby's mind like a muse, who is perfect with halo shining around her. People say it is Daisy who caused the tragedy. But how do you judge if it is a tragedy or not？ I think without Daisy, it was impossible for Gatsby to make such an achievement like this. If a girl named Daisy didn't exist in the word, there wouldn't be an extra regular common guy who is from North Dakota doing some boring works from day to night, We can turn it to be a comparison: Whiskey and Water, what do you want？ Not a big thing, just two different trails of life.
Gatsby is great. He is great. Lets get back to the time when this story happened. When the second industrial revolution was finished, people's life standard just stepped forward a lot. That's not bad. But at the same time, what people cares about is just money, right, and nothing. Of course Gatsby knows this, or he couldn't make such amount of money. What he doesn't know is that for everyone it's the same, including his dream girl, Daisy. No doubt some true love story took place between them by accident, however, all things changed. Daisy realized what she did is just too naive and too childish. At least they are not in the same strata. Therefore, when Tom recovered every scar of Gatsby in that hot room, Daisy had already known she was not belonged to Gatsby, as no matter how rich Gatsby was right now, they are still not at the same strata. Gatsby is a smart man except when he is with Daisy. From the beginning to the end, nothing in his mind changed. We could also regard that as a lucky thing. Gatsby is stupid in love, in that way, he is in love and happiness all his life ,and he never regrets. I like a plot which only addicted to the movie, the moment Wilson shot Gatsby, the telephone rang, the last word Gatsby murmured slightly is 'Daisy', then he fell down into the water, the blood's blooming like a rose. That call is from Nick, obviously. But that doesn't matter. Gatsby died in the few seconds, with love filled in his heart. It is not Daisy's fault. Suppose the girl is not Daisy, but Mary or Lily or someone else, in a period like that time in america, Daisy has made the best choice she could, so as Tom. The Daisy in Gatsby's mind is not the person Daisy anymore, but a symbol, a faint shadow, a gold flower that never fades. Gatsby is great. In a messy chaotic period, he keeps the simple dream in his mind, and chase it with few possibilities. I would like to say, he is a winner, in some way, at least in his mind.
To the society, he is a tragedy. To himself, he has a perfect life.
The only one admired Gatsby from his heart at last is Nick, I want to be the second one. But I wouldn't follow Gatsby's step.
Besides, I love the book because of the language in it . beautiful and proper words, cool sentences with metaphor or simile, tiny touching feelings that touch your heart when you are undefended. Fitzgerald is a genius as he wrote it in his very early years. It is like a half autobiography of him. People who live like us everyday can't be a legend. Only people like Fitzgerald does. I don't want to be the legend as I am not ready for it. But I would like to read more stories of those legends.
P.S: Leonardo DiCaprio is the greatest actor ever, the movie itself is not satisfying, but Leonardo makes me feel Gatsby as a real man.

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(九)：那些梦

说实话，看完电影后再看书的感受，肯定与直接看书的感受是不一样的，更何况看的还是英文版本。我出于一个很功利的目的看了原著，更或者说是浏览，体会是电影拍的确实不错。
看完电影和小说的人大都会有一个困惑，为什么Gatsby会那么执着？
Gatsby的执着让人看着有些不解，有些迷惑，有些同情，如果作者故意写了这么一个人物来讽刺当时大家的盲目无知，而这种感情上的执着似乎是最愚蠢的吧。最终Gatsby却仍然为他这个在大多数人看来蠢到不可救药梦失去了生命。
想想现在的我们，我们总会有各种各样的梦，但是我们的这些梦在尘世中慢慢会开始动摇开始转变，因为我们知道，有些梦变得那么不切实际，或许是我们改变了，我们不够坚定了，梦并没有变，只是我们变了，而Gatsby执着得有些不真实。
我们也曾经为了一段不忘却的爱情，忘却过自己，但是受过伤后，我们总是会醒的，因为我们害怕再受伤，因为我们天真开始被除了爱情背后那些黑暗的现实谋杀掉，而Gatsby的那超乎寻常人的善良，让人觉得不可思议。这是一个强烈的对比，却赤裸裸地揭露了我们的懦弱。
Gatsby是被自己的梦给迷惑了么？还是其实他本来就是在救赎自己呢？他在努力地用一切外在的东西来掩盖自己内心的那段被认为不堪的过往，但是再努力，他还是失败了，因为他自己都不认可自己，他内心的自卑透过那一页页的纸袒露无遗。本来，他以为Daisy能够救赎他，但是他却没有看到Daisy根本没有这样的能力。
我们都会有一段自己特别不认可的过往，那些有可能会一直成为我们心头的一根倒刺，时不时出来提醒我们，我们原来是怎么样的人，即便我们在不停努力着，也许除了正视，别无他法，否则，我们就会像Gatsby那样被自己埋葬，被自己过去埋葬。
据说这本书的背景是美国淘金热，我不知道。但是每个人读一本书可能更多不会去论历史，而是更多站在自己角度去品味，也许这才是一本真正好书所需要的特质吧。

　　《The Great Gatsby》读后感(十)：一个梦而已。一切也都不再那么面目可憎。

盖茨比活在过去。他所期望的不过是用现在换回一个过去。为盖茨比叹息后，想想，觉得好像并不值得。因为，原本人的期望和现实总是开玩笑。盖茨比，为了摆脱过去的身份，改名换姓，离开家，遇到一个或许能让自己的人生有所改观的机会，却因为恩主猝死，不得不继续自己无根的旅途。而走上军旅生涯，遇见黛西，也不过又一个梦的幻灭的开始。
他是一个真诚的撒谎者。他害怕被戳穿。比起那些撒起谎来都已浑然不觉的人来说。盖茨比无疑是可爱的。一个人觉得谎言的窘迫，说明他还不成熟，为了梦去撒谎的人，更是有些可敬。
第一次，读这本书的时候，觉得汤姆不可忍受，在心里也骂黛西。觉得盖茨比太惨了。人生怎么可能这样，不是应该有更好的结局吗？
后来突然发现，有些人是为梦为活，在现实里，不堪一击。有些人会做梦，最终还是选择活在现实里。现实是丑恶的，难以让人忍受的吗？好像一切都不够。爱不够，时间不够，真诚不够……盖茨比在现实里的充裕只是让他获得更空虚而已。他的父亲拿起那张小纸片在尼克面前晃动的时候，最后一句：对父母好些，或许才是他人生不那么虚幻的证明。但是，遗憾的是，他选择了离开。选择不去承认自己的过去，除了那些在过去里做过的梦之外，他选择了放弃了一切，成为一个被谎言和天真包裹的人。这样的人，是多么不幸。
心里面提盖茨比惋惜的时候，骂汤姆、黛西。心想，黛西怎么能是那样的女人，她怎么会选择和那样的男人在一起，内心毫无羞愧？！原来自己忘了，她从来都是这样的人。她或许真的爱过，让人丝毫不能怀疑那爱的真诚。盖茨比只是她人生故事中的一个意外章节。她选择了放弃。她也只能放弃。她和汤姆过得很好。尽管看起来很好。上流社会的浮华，夫妻之间的互不严明的私秽，永远恩爱圆满的一家。这一切，都是真实的。她生活在这样的环境中。又能要求她什么呢？突然觉得自己好像对这一家的人要求太苛刻了。
我们好像不自觉地都站到了盖茨比的那一面。盖茨比不是要求一个妻子离开丈夫吗？他不是以为黛西真的深爱自己吗？他在死去的那一刻，估计也不会明白吧。汤姆充当了自私邪恶的角色，黛西成了他的帮凶，盖茨比生前死后似乎好像都成了一个可笑的样板，一个幻灭的泡沫。
看菲茨杰拉德的介绍，讲到自己的军旅生涯，让自己陷入悲惨境地的妻子。他又如何不是一个梦想家。
在这个小说里，黛西是完美的，除了她的那部分“被动邪恶”和“主观虚弱”。他把这个人物，不自觉地归咎为悲剧的起因。也恰巧不幸预言了自己和盖茨比一样凄凉而短暂的一生。
愿望太强烈，人会不自觉地篡改过去。那些抱着回忆度过一生的人，无疑是最痛苦而又最快乐的人。一方面，他可以让一切都维持原状，对现实不管不顾，享受着梦的轻盈；另一方面，在现实里，永远隔着距离，承认与否都让自己痛苦不堪。爱情或许真的是美好的东西，但是不幸的是，得到爱情的人只得到短暂的一瞬，此后，面对一生的诱惑要么踌躇不决要么匍匐就义。盖茨比是这样。太多的人也是这样。
或许当你觉得周遭依然可憎的时候，你还年轻而且不屈不挠。这样的人让我们看到我们的虚弱。但是，究竟有几个人会选择不屈不挠呢？很多人在面具下生活，怡然自得，那些不戴面具就去选择爱的人，怎么看清下面的脸呢？
想了又想，觉得自己好像已经突然原谅了汤姆和黛西。原来，我只是为盖茨比难过了那么一阵子。我也不会做梦了。
