1、 The Analysis of Plots of The Great GatsbyFinally, I finished readingThe Great Gatsby !The obvious clue was the life of Nick s searching for living in the East, while the shadowy clue was the tragedy of Jay Gatsby.The story reminded me of Adamand Eve. In the story of the Bible, Adam and Eve lived ha

2、ppily in the Garden of Eden. But Eve wasseduced by Satan and ate the forbidden fruit. Then, she and Adam were punished to live in the man s world. So as Gatsby and Daisy. They had a wonderful time to have each other. But when Gatsby was in the war, Daisy couldn t push against the temptation of Tom s

3、 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 whobetrayed him wasn t anyone else but Judas. In Gatsby s heart, Daisy

4、 was more than anything. But she left him coldly and directly caused the death of him.Plots of Gatsby s love to DaisyThe first scene where Gatsby himself really was in was at the end of Chapter 1.“ he stretched out his arms towardsthe dark water in a curious way, and , far as I was from him,I could

5、have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glancedseawardand distinguished nothing except a single greenlight, 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 Tomfor the fir

6、st 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

7、author explained it later. The single green light camefrom Daisy s house. That s whyGatsby 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 Daisy s home.Also, the writer used “ distinguished nothing except a single green l

8、ight, 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. That s why he wanted to talk with JordanDaisy s friend. That s why he wasawkward when he saw TomDaisy s husband. However, just like the green lig

9、ht, minute and far away, Gatsby and Dai sy s 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 hadn t seen each other. But obviously Daisy

10、couldn t 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

11、 was. He wanted to draw Daisy s 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 Daisy s love.Nick said, “ a bad driver was only safe until she met a

12、nother 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 whenshe met Gatsby, Gatsby died because his na? ve trust that his love and money could find back his lover.“ Compared to the gr

13、eat 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 m

14、oonwas 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 Dais y s love story was that the author didn t write it down directly. It was firstly talked by Jordan.

15、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 Gatsby s DeathFinally, Gatsby was shot to death. Before his death he s

16、still waiting for Daisy s 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 neighbor s house through the summer nights. ”“ Champagne, stars, oranges, lemons, orchestra, girls, men, gypsies It seem

17、edGatsby 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 Gatsby s front door ” . What an ironic contrast! At that time,it swhen you were someo

18、ne, 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 remembert

19、he 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 the

20、re would be someother people cometo the funeral. But what he called up about was a pair of shoes he left there!People didn t rememberanything great of Gatsby. When he was alive, they just took advantage of him: to have fun, to earn money. How could people becomelike this How did someone who was extr

21、emely popular but only had four people cameto 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

22、. 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 Daisy s voiceDaisy was an extremely stunning gir

23、l. But the most attractive thing of her was her “ low, thrilling ” voice. There were a lot of plots which were used to describe Daisy s voice. From these, the writer turned Daisy into pictures.“ I ve heard it said that Daisy s murmur was only to makepeople lean towards her; an irrelevant criticism t

24、hat made it no less charming. ” It showed that Daisy used her voice as a tool to draw people s 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 tonicin the rain. I had to follow the soun

25、d of it for a moment; upand down, with my ear alone Although Nick was Daisy s cousin, he still couldn t help himself drawing by this exciting voice. Her voice madeher more glamorous. Her voice was used by her to conceal her ugly deep inside.When she met Gatsby again,“ her throat, full of aching,grie

26、ving beauty, told only of her unexpected joy ” . When she saw Gatsby s expensive shirts, “ she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds ” . But the beautiful voice couldn t hide her love of money. Even Gatsby noticed that“ her voice wasfull of money ” . That s why her voice was always rising and falling. Fortune made her voice charming. It was full of jingle of coins.Daisy s voice waslike Sirens . They were all symbol of love and
