The Book Review of the Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby, written by Fitzgerald K.Scott, is one of the most famous claics.The narrator of the story is Nick and the hero is Gatsby.Nick was a graduate of Yale and then he lived in the West Egg, which was in the west of America.And then he made his acquaintance with Gatsby, a rich and mysterious man.Gatsby loved Daisy, Nick’s cousin, and he tried his best to meet her again with the help of Nick.However, Daisy had got married with Tom and she didn’t want to betray her husband.Unfortunately, Gatsby didn’t realize the fact that Daisy had changed a lot, which resulted in a tragedy, and still asked her to elope with him.When they went home from New York, Daisy killed Myrtle, Tom’s mistre, in an accident.Gatsby took the responsibility and killed by Myrtle’s angry husband at the last.
After reading this books, I felt upset for a long time.Gatsby was an innocent man and all he wanted was to regain his love.To achieve his own dream, he tried his best to earn money and raised his social cla after the war.However, the sad truth is that the woman Gatsby loved most is the one who exploited him most.And the result of Gatsby’s effort was his death while he still thought that Daisy love him when he died.We always hold the opinion that we should work hard for our dream and we also believed that we can achieve it with our effort.That’s the reason why Nick added “the Great” to “Gatsby”.However, I think that we shouldn’t drown ourselves in our fancy all the time and we should think whether our dreams are reasonable and achievable.In the book, Gatsby was died and Nick didn’t lead a rich and comfortable life while Tom and Daisy had a great fortune and belonged to the upper cla.Some people may draw the conclusion that we can’t be innocent like Gatsby and Nick or we will share the same ending as them.However, I disagree with this.Though Gatsby’s life was tragic, he enjoyed his life and was satisfied with it.If you had watched the film adaption of this books, you may find that Gatsby always smile.And Nick had a beautiful soul.On the other hand, Tom and Daisy didn’t suffer from the material life but they may feel guilty all the time.I strongly believe the fact that we can live well without much money but without a beautiful mind.
There is one more reason why I like this book.It’s the writing skills used by Fitzgerald that makes this books a claic.One of these skills is symbolism and it’s the symbolism used in the books that makes it become an irreplaceable claics.Take the dream of Gatsby as an example, dream is an abstract thing but Fitzgerald used the green light shinning on the dock of Daisy’s house as the symbol of Gatsby’s dream.What’s more, the change of Daisy is also symbolized by the change of the green light.When Gatsby invited Daisy to his house, he found the green light covered by fog.It’s the signal of the fact that Daisy was not the sweet girl any more.
Many people like to talk about the social cla conflict linked to Gatsby and Daisy when they talk about this book.I agree that Gatsby’s story is an epitome of that age and the America Dream but I would rather consider it as a story of a man who fights for his dream all the time.And compared to the opinion that we should protect
ourselves and do what others do, I agree more that we should keep our innocence and fight for our dreams.
