　　了不起的盖茨比英文读后感(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.

　　了不起的盖茨比英文读后感(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.

　　了不起的盖茨比英文读后感(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.

　　了不起的盖茨比中文读后感(一)

　　看任何小说都是在其中寻找与自己的契合点。某句话和某个词在小说特定的场景下引起我们思想上的共鸣，或者是安自己的思维联想到和小说毫无关系但自己感处很深的遥远的地方。我的读后感都是“自我式”的注解，不是对小说本身的解读，而是由小说联系到我自己和小说本身并无关系。我的思维面很窄，每本小说的读后感都是万变不离其宗，那就是我的理想和处事原则及一些很常识的小想法。很幼稚!但我想留下一些成长的痕迹，呈上自己的拙见，请看过本文的大家指点迷津。谢谢!

　　带着功绩从战场回来的盖茨比头脑中抱着自以为很权威的思想～“只有金钱能够捕捉和把握青春和密秘”这是曾经可怕的过去给他留下的至理名言。以这句话为信仰，盖茨比在自己编织的幻想中怀抱着梦想守望了黛西五年!待到相见时，其实黛西并不是他梦想的那个人，他的幻想超越了她，超越了一切。作为旁观者的尼克清醒的看到了一切，但盖茨比的幻想还是停留在最初的美好上。我喜欢看小说的主要原因就是我可以站在小说的整个情节之外鸟瞰一切，像尼克一样把他人的一切清楚的看透但不说透，不参与事情的发展。但是尼克没理清他和乔丹的关系，他也参与了盖茨比的幻想，而且更不幸的是独自收拾幻想破灭后的散落一地的碎片与悲凉。

　　盖茨比幻想中的黛西，使我更加坚信“距离产生美”。距离给人以想象的空间，人在潜意识中会把对方想成你理想中的样子，在无形中使其形象越来越美。我相信距离产生美，但我会克意的不用想象评论一个人，我更坚信“主观臆断”这个词的无孔不入。这也是我不支持网恋的主要原因，仅仅靠聊天就能情深意动拿一生来承诺?我很怀疑，感觉这样太冒险了，在双方眼中都对对方添加了很多的想象成份。这只是我目前的看法可能以后会转变吧?我身边还是不乏网上相识的例子，他们很幸福。祝福他们永远幸福，用行动来驳倒我的想法。尼克很识趣，总是把自己的评价藏在心里，对所有的人都保留判断。这使我想起了两句话：“当一件事有两个人知道就不再是秘密”和“能保守秘密的人才会知道更多的秘密”。我其实对他人的秘密没有多大的好奇心，但我应该和尼克一样，闲谈莫论他人非，不是不感兴趣，只是怕自找没趣。

　　我对于幻想的看法对我的梦想产生了消极的情绪，为了不失望就不抱着希望，这样很有因噎废食的嫌疑。担心失望就不敢再有憧憬，这使我感觉梦想就是一个泡沫，被幻想吹的越来越大，一天没有实现，我就得为它的爆破而提心掉胆，而且这种恐惧感还会与日俱增。怎么办?天下本无事，庸人自扰之。想的太多会变的无力，很多时候我们应该像小时候想努力了就会勇往直前而不去想那么多的成功还是失败，也不去计较付出的回报率是多少。傻傻的执着，没心没肺的埋头，水到渠成时也感觉不到那就是所谓的成功。

　　小说《了不起的盖茨比》写的是一战以后的故事，但没读出过失的沧桑感。我个人喜欢读年代久远的小说，很少看现在网上传的现代小说。我总认为一本好的小说能时间上驰骋，不受岁月的侵蚀，而且是历久弥新，在今天看来仍不失当年魅力。就像盖茨比对黛西的爱之深我们体会的到，但是我不能理解。我知道男和女之间有种超过同性别的吸引力，很遗憾我没有感同身受的经历也想象不出那有多大的力量。所以我的读后感与这部小说的主旨有偏颇。

　　我没看出爱的伟大但我看出盖茨比爱的慌唐，盖茨比是个很有能力的人，当他叫“杰伊，盖茨比”的时候就用自己的薄力选择了别样人生，很欣赏他的魄力!他对生活的承诺具有超乎寻常的敏感，这种敏感和“创造性气质”无关，它是一种异乎寻常的满怀憧憬的天赋。

　　每一本小说中都能找到人性的真善美和丑恶!人之初，性本善。但每次都感觉描写丑陋比刻画善美逼真。我应该怎样寻找人性的真善美呢?

　　了不起的盖茨比英文读后感(二)

　　最初，我以为《了不起的盖茨比》讲的是比尔盖茨的故事，当初买这本书也是出于想更多的了解比尔盖茨，没想到《了不起的盖茨比》是一部美国当代小说，20世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，《了不起的盖茨比》高居第二位。闹了个不大不小的玩笑，不管是不是讲比尔盖茨的，总归说是一部名著，可是自己只看了此书前五十页之后，再也无法读下去，真不知道这书怎么获得那么高的赞誉?直到前些天，我看过同名电影之后，我的想法才得以改变。我喜欢电影里那道绿光，因为那道绿光，我又拿起原著重新读开，希望这次能有不同第一次读的感受!

　　捧着书，读了一周，终于读完，最大的感觉就是电影版拍的非常好，忠于原著，如果不是先看过电影，我一定无法坚持下去读完这本书。

　　看了别人对此书的读后感，有高度有深度，我什么也写不出来。只是对盖茨比惋惜，为了一个不值得的拜金女葬送自己的生命!对上流社会有了一点了解，没人性，自私，傲慢，冷漠，那样一个世界，那样一群人，真是让人心寒!

　　《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家弗司各特菲茨杰拉德1925年所写的一部以20世纪20年代的纽约市及长岛为背景的中篇小说，小说的背景被设定在现代化的美国社会中上阶层的白人圈内，通过卡拉韦的叙述展开。《了不起的盖茨比》问世，奠定了弗司各特菲茨杰拉德在现代美国文学史上的地位，成了20年代爵士时代的发言人和迷惘的一代的代表作家之一。20世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，《了不起的盖茨比》高居第二位，傲然跻身当代经典行列。
