The Analysis of Plots of The Great Gatsby了不起的盖茨比情节分析

The Analysis of Plots of The Great Gatsby Finally, I finished reading The Great Gatsby! The obvious clue was the life of Nicks searching for living in the East, while the shadowy clue was the tragedy of Jay Gatsby. The story reminded me of Adam and Eve. In the story of the Bible, Adam and Eve lived happily in the Garden of Eden. But Eve was seduced by Satan and ate the forbidden fruit. Then, she and Adam were punished to live in the mans world. So as Gatsby and Daisy. They had a wonderful time to have each other. But when Gatsby was in the war, Daisy couldnt push against the temptation of Toms money and then married him. And Gatsby entirely fell into suffering. Also, the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy was somewhat like the story of Jesus and Judas. Among all the followers, Jesus believed Judas most. But the one who betrayed him wasnt anyone else but Judas. In Gatsbys heart, Daisy was more than anything. But she left him coldly and directly caused the death of him.Plots of Gatsbys love to Daisy The first scene where Gatsby himself really was in was at the end of Chapter 1. “he stretched out his arms towards the dark water in a curious way, and , far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward-and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away,”. Why would Gatsby stare at the single green light? Then, at one of the party, Gatsby asked to speak with Jordan alone. Why Jordan? Alone? When Gatsby met Tom for the first time, but there was strained, unfamiliar look of embarrassment on his face and then he disappeared. Why did this gentleman behave like this? “ Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay. Then it had not been merely the stars to which he had aspired on that June night.” The author explained it later. The single green light came from Daisys house. Thats why Gatsby bought that house. He loved Daisy! But at that time what he could only do was to gaze fixedly at the tiny but obvious light in Daisys home. Also, the writer used “distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away” here to show Gatsby was over head and ears in love with Daisy. The only thing he could see was to find the love of Daisy again. Thats why he wanted to talk with Jordan-Daisys friend. Thats why he was awkward when he saw Tom-Daisys husband. However, just like the green light, minute and far away, Gatsby and Daisys tragedy was unavoidable. They were never ever getting back together. When Gatsby and Daisy met again, Gatsby acted like a little boy. He remembered that there had been five years next November since he and Daisy hadnt seen each other. But obviously Daisy couldnt remember. I still can recall the scene when Gatsby showed Daisy his fabulous house. He showed her the big pastern, the music rooms and restoration salons, the period bedrooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms and even his patent cabinet. He showed so detailed. He wanted Daisy to notice how rich he was. He wanted to draw Daisys attention through these gorgeous luxuries. “ Her voice is full of money, he said suddenly.” From this I can see that Gatsby found something unpleasant about Daisy. But he still struggled to fight for Daisys love. Nick said, “a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad driver.” Daisy was a bad driver. When she met Tom, another bad driver, they could go on because neither of them believed in love but fortune and indulgence. But when she met Gatsby, Gatsby died because his nave trust that his love and money could find back his lover. “Compared to the great distance that had separated him Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon.” From some time, Daisy and Gatsby were close, just like a star and the moon. But it was only from the surface. Actually, the distance between a star and the moon was very fun. The writer used this simile to show their hearts were far away. For a heart of love can never be close to the heart of chasing fame and wealth. Another wise way to show Gatsby and Daisys love story was that the author didnt write it down directly. It was firstly talked by Jordan. The scene was always undergoing in a memorable type. It was always covered by an etamine, blur and mysterious. It increased the mystery and suspense of the novel. Thus the whole story gained an artistry of dummy reality.Plots of Gatsbys Death Finally, Gatsby was shot to death. Before his death hes still waiting for Daisys phone call. What a poor man! But he was poorer than ever after his death. Before his death, his house was filled with celebrities. “There was music from my neighbors house through the summer nights.” “Champagne, stars, oranges, lemons, orchestra, girls, men, gypsies” It seemed Gatsby lived in a wonderful life. People all knew him. Coming to his parties was a fashionable trendiness. But after his death, “only as an endless drill of police and photographers and newspapermen in and out of Gatsbys front door”. What an ironic contrast! At that time, its when you were someone, people would all clustered around you. When you failed, they would just left without any sympathy. That was the grief of that time. The loss of some virtue of humanity and the blindness of searching for money, indulgence made people become more and more coldblooded, indifferent. I still remember the letter Meyer Wolfshiem sent to Nick and the phone call from Klipspringer. Meyer called Gatsby “that man” in the letter. He forgot the funeral so that he “hasty addenda beneath”. He changed his attitude towards Gatsby totally. Also, Klippspringer, the boarder, called. At first, Nick thought there would be some other people come to the funeral. But what he called up about was a pair of shoes he left there! People didnt remember anything great of Gatsby. When he was alive, they just took advantage of him: to have fun, to earn money. How could people become like this? How did someone who was extremely popular but only had four people came to his funeral. It was the time when people lost their sense of place. They were all taking part in sensualism, regarded their life value as drink, right, and seek for money. They wanted to become rich and after that they could live with all kinds of pleasure. They were chasing the American dream in a totally wrong way. No one actually cared about others. What they cared were themselves. People were hiding their feelings, and anyone who showed their true hearts might be abandoned, just like Gatsby.Plot of Daisys voice Daisy was an extremely stunning girl. But the most attractive thing of her was her “low, thrilling” voice. There were a lot of plots which were used to describe Daisys voice. From these, the writer turned Daisy into pictures. “Ive heard it said that Daisys murmur was only to make people lean towards her; an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming.” It showed that Daisy used her voice as a tool to draw peoples attention. Despite her beautiful, deceptive appearance, she was actually a hypocritical, vain product of the times. “The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain. I had to follow the sound of it for a moment; up and down, with my ear alone” Although Nick was Daisys cousin, he still couldnt help himself drawing by this exciting voice. Her voice made her more glamorous. Her voice was used by her to conceal her ugly deep inside. When she met Gatsby again, “her throat, full of aching, grieving beauty, told only of her unexpected joy”. When she saw Gatsbys expensive shirts, “she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds”. But the beautiful voice couldnt hide her love of money. Even Gatsby noticed that “her voice was full of money”. Thats why her voice was always rising and falling. Fortune made her voice charming. It was full of jingle of coins. Daisys voice was like Sirens. They were all symbol of love and fear. They both
