- Gatsby is how one
friend the story of Gatsby zero background, before viewing, by virtue of their guess, that He is the [great] Gatsby, a mysterious, well-worn image of Fuja. However, as the story progresses, she neither sees his wrist strength, leadership qualities, or all the personality linked to tall and great, and when Tom points out his humble birth, this life cannot be erased at all. At that moment, the only thing he faced was the pitiful insignificance of being beaten back to the prototype, and he was completely defeated. Gatsby is a [little person], no matter how he seizes the opportunity to climb up, no matter how large and detailed he installs the palace mansion, how many people from all walks of life put into the party, he is the most [vulnerable] That one, his solemnity, his hopeless optimism, and his highly idealistic love are no match for Tom's powerful question. He is even afraid to face such questions. He is afraid to face them directly. First, five years is not only the process for him to become a person worthy of Daisy and the process of dreaming, but also because he is afraid that he Fear of an active, confrontation with that class and Daisy, he never chose to take the initiative, even if he built the villa in East Egg, opposite Daisy, even if his residence has become the most luminous party residence in New York He never invited Daisy on the initiative, but [waiting], waiting for her to learn by accident, and then accidentally participate, he continued to prepare, the first person to be invited carefully through peeping was still not Daisy, but living next door Nick, he was too hard, and he was holding on to his insignificance. He knew his pain points. On the one hand, he was hidden, and on the other hand, he was inevitably exposed. On the one hand, he prepared and practiced as a gentleman. When I ran into Tom again, he escaped uncontrollably and nervously (this is the second). When he straightened his collar and tried to recover from the gaffe at that moment and then join the wealthy class of Tom and Daisy, they had already chosen to reject him forever in his momentary appearance and embarrassed acknowledgment.
Does Gatsby know how to love? Daisy doesn't understand. But he didn't understand either. Although there was love between them. What Gatsby loves is not Daisy, but a Daisy who has been kissed by Daisy and is regarded as the pinnacle and beauty in his world. Gatsby’s imagination is impeccable. He buys light yarn, linen, acrylic, white cotton, and silk, just to take a little bit of absurdity and throw it down, and then toss it down, willing to let them dance and stack under Daisy’s body. , Hidden behind her smile. Each of his romances is so hard, in exchange for the effect is so light, this is the ultimate romance, and the balance is always out of balance. Although there must be vulgarity in romance, the purer the romance, the more obvious the vulgarity. The essence of Gatsby's obsession is nothing more than Daisy's beautiful appearance, noble status, such a beautiful and noble girl, but at the ball five years ago, she gave her fragrant lips in her boudoir.
The author himself is also a romantic, and he can do all kinds of incredible, brilliant and wonderful things for the person he loves, and indeed for him. It also expressed the feeling that "he is love, he is the one who caused me to get all kinds of diseases". But who can deny the starting point of this vanity is undoubtedly because he is beautiful and has a Greek body. There must be vulgarity and instinct in romance. It is an interesting reflection of people's original desires. It’s just that some people follow this refracted light throughout their lives, imagining it with unparalleled scenery, while some people just treat it as a physical phenomenon.
-Why is Gatsby great
The first is his extreme romance and pure illusion. Just like Nick said, "The lawn and driveway were crowded with people, secretly guessing how dirty he was-and he stood on these steps, hiding his pure dreams", but "they are one. Help bastards, their gang is not as good as you." In the prosperous and glorious and obsessed New York of the 1920s, how many people did not wear swimsuits and wide-brimmed hats on the beach and did not compare with each other, while in the room without a name, and their mistresses, they were behind the glass goblet. Try to figure out the dirty things of the people around you. Nick is a typical observer. He is on the dance floor, and after pulling away from the carnival, he takes a glass of wine and calmly looks at everything that happened in the golden age. He has no criticism, and he is just an experience at Gatsby’s party, but He was moved by Gatsby, he was moved by a unique image among the hospitality and indifference of this era. He is Gatsby. No one like him, after five years of creating this illusion, he doesn't care about the party, he doesn't care about the people around him, he doesn't care about the real world, he does all this only for Daisy, in order to return to peace forever The moment she kissed the past. One end of the scale is a particle of dreams, so small, the other end of the scale is five years of time, complicated and insidious business, it is a mansion of dreams that is so big and empty and full of people’s dreams, it is an idea over and over again. Firmness and excessive force are so incredible.
Secondly, what moved me even more was that he did it. This is not only a highly imaginary dream, but also an astonishing reality that will exist forever. This is different from writing masterpieces of love, heart-breaking operas, and poems of "heroic dreams of tired life". The works are evolved, fictitious, and expanded imaginations, but human life is only one time. In those few years of youth, Gatsby not only dreamed, but also made dreams a reality. I just said that Gatsby doesn’t understand love. What he loves is Daisy’s illusion. There is a comment that says, “Especially talented men will be born and die because of women. It’s not just because of passion, but often It’s because these men love themselves too much.” Gatsby is indeed living and dying for Daisy. Everything he does is for Daisy, so even though he is selfish and doesn’t understand love, what he loves is not true. Daisy, but he did it. He did it with life and youth that he had only once and only allowed once, not just those who swear to live and die for women, and regard women as the source of life. In fact, Selfish men, they looked forward to, yearned, intoxicated and desperate in their own fantasy world, but in the end they did nothing.
What's touching about Gatsby is the solemnity and tension of adolescence when I first met Daisy at Nick's house, just like the first date in all life. I don't know how to use it, anxious and nervous, my limbs seem redundant, and my muscles are always twitching. He was too nervous, just like the tension that we have experienced and finally disappeared, but gradually, this kind of dialogue with the beloved has become a kind of skillful thing, heartbeat The frequency becomes stable, even if it is full of love, it will not re-concretize this palpitating drama to the outside world. But Gatsby, he took what every one of us has experienced when facing a loved one who can’t breathe, walks around, solemnly walks in through the front door, straightens the collar, and creates an accidental one with extremely heavy traces. The ceremony belonging to the distant past is completely concrete. This is almost a scene I watched while laughing and crying. The laugh is because he is clumsy and nervous that does not shrink with age, wealth and experience. This part of him is indeed As he wishes, still staying in the whirlpool of the past, coupled with the embellishment of stage effects, Leonardo's acting skills are completely integrated into the play, like the absurdity and novelty that can be experienced from Nick's perspective. , I cry because of his ridiculousness and his pitifulness. This is destined to only be the foreshadowing of a tragedy, and the crying and laughing is also because of his adolescent behavior and his overstretched facial makeup, which ignited the dying breath in my heart. The ceremony, the panic that can no longer be maintained and the courage that can't be exhausted.
- Daisy and Tom
Tom and Daisy are a class of people. They will also fall in love with others. Just like Tom fell in love with the wife of the car repair man, and Daisy liked Gatsby. Regardless of what kind of love it is, whether it is physical pleasure or filling of emptiness, whether they are qualified to be called for sex or not, after the repairman’s wife dies, Tom can’t help it, out of control. Others let go, with a few tears in their eyes. And when Daisy said to Tom that I had never loved you, Tom didn’t even have emotions, but instead asked, "Have you really never loved me?" He didn’t even have a slight gaffe. He knew Dai too much. West, I know that they belong to that class, and how the combination of each other can be stabilized in this. Therefore, he will not lose control or feel sad. He knows how the [substitutes] in this class can be given to Daisy in place of love, and how these things work on Daisy who cannot leave or break through this class.
For them, love is a spark of obedience. Anything will only work under the premise of [stable]. I can’t help thinking of [Love in the Time of Cholera], Dr. Urbino, who was born into a prestigious nobleman, even had an affair with a mulatto concubine, and even having sex was "time to complete an intravenous injection every day" and be his wife. When complaining that she was not happy at all, Dr. Urbino pointedly pointed out, "You must always remember... The most important thing is not happiness, but stability."-But in fact, any Tom Daisy or Urbi The combination of No and Fermin Nadassah has the shadow of our secular people. Any family relationship, especially under the influence of power, prestige, wealth and stability, can replace the role of love and obtain in life. The economic benefits are often greater. Besides, does anyone really understand love? Does anyone really understand it and practice it persistently? Even Gatsby didn't understand it, and he was defeated when he practiced it.
Daisy is not a positive image, but she is a classic image, she is unforgettable. Maybe there is a woman subconsciously who wants to be her, or at least experience her vision. What Daisy makes me think is [illusory], not [hypocrisy]. Soon after the opening, she said, "She has everything she wanted, went to all the places and did all the things", and now she didn't know what to do. She has everything that all women desire in the world, even before she was born. She follows the trajectory of this fate. Because there are all, she appears to have nothing. She doesn't know what else she wants. , What can I pursue. Nick said that she has a passion in her body, but this passion is neither reflected on her nor reflected on others. She seems to be not even a real shadow. Among all her lines, I did not hear a word. If something happened to her, she just greeted and responded, looking for a little completeness in an empty recess, and instinctively withdrew when encountering resistance. She is perfect, from looks, clothes, birth, manners, a frown and a smile, lying in a pile of fabrics, and her whirling dancing postures are pleasing to the eye, perfect, and can't stand ugliness.
Does she love Gatsby? Gatsby is for [the notes injected into her empty mind]. She lay on a pile of clothing and wept because compared to the forced dream shot Gatsby gave her, her life over the past five years has seemed so empty and general, she can't stand this kind of exposure. She responded quickly to Gatsby and did nothing worse than any partner, but even her courage to love was borrowed. When Gatsby asked her to repeat that she did not love Tom, the first time she was silent, the second Once she was forced to have nowhere to go, she parroted each sentence, stammered and said without thinking, "I have never loved you", as if this happened, she had no choice but to blurt out the situation. At the same time, perfection can't stand ugliness. Tom pressed Gatsby about Oxford University’s education and the sale of fake wine. She stopped Tom again and again. Rather than seeing her as unwilling to embarrass Gatsby, it would be better to say that she did not. Gatsby’s scars were uncovered, fearing that she would really fall in love with an unnamed rat with a humiliating reputation for dirty business and embarrass herself, even though she vaguely knew Gatsby’s ghosts, she had heard the wind and saw After passing anecdotes, she still doesn't want to face it all. She is willing to be illusory and soft, and have another elegant and slightly empty dream.
Therefore, when Gatsby finally couldn't help but acted on Tom, the muscles on her face were stiff and deformed because of anger. She was almost afraid of him in a confrontational manner, and almost returned to her camp without thinking. Because he is no longer [Gatsby], he is the low-born person who sells fake wine in Tom's words, and he is different from them. Both she and Jordan felt that people who were different from them were terrible and rude.
Will Daisy still miss Gatsby? Not anymore. She didn’t know what was important to her, she didn’t have the concept of [gravity], didn’t understand the meaning, couldn’t find herself, she was just [reactive]: the weather was really hot, so she went to the city to eat ice cubes; she wanted to attend the party, Carefully prepare the headgear and put on the fur; the husband cheated, suffering and endured with dignity; killed someone at a loss, accepted the "love" reiterated by Tom, returned to the pile of money, and traveled with her husband. She and Gatsby became one of her "going everywhere and doing things that can be done". Gatsby is the dream of her dream. When the dream in the dream was broken, she returned to her vain again, and continued to dream of the person in the dream, the glitzy dream.
Is Daisy smart? Although she hopes to have a daughter, and she is a silly daughter. We can only say that the place she escaped is the pit of other women. It is also unknown how many conditional responses are determined by class. Daisy and class, although empty and vanity, are also intriguing. This is also the reason for the endless emergence of works by the upper class and the repeated classics. Every woman also has the shadow of Daisy.
- Nick Jordan and
Nick for their definition has been very clear, both from which, they pulled out. He has always existed as an observer. He and Jordan were both other at first, and even very similar. Gatsby asked Jordan to help, and Jordan was surprised and did not shirk; Gatsby wanted to give Nick a job as an invitation to Daisy. In return for the afternoon tea, Nick declined, "getting away", saying it was just a small favor. Nick and Jordan are the same here. They belong to the same class as Daisy. They are her cousins and friends, friendly and polite, and always look forward to beautiful seeds.
This image of Nick runs through. At the party, he drank, got drunk, and danced with Jordan, but he suddenly became "sober", pursing his lips and observing without saying a word. He can't be fully engaged from start to finish. He needs Absorb, reflect, feel, but not intervene. He remained neutral and objective, and quietly waited for Daisy and Gatsby's tryst under the pattered trees. Except for the only two compliments to Gatsby, he hardly spoke about the incident.
But in the process of his non-intervention state, he (mentally) got sick. He could no longer bear the indifference, selfishness, cruel hypocrisy of the metropolis and the people in it. This is the image of a typical creator. He stays open, unconditionally absorbs the matter itself, and then through the way of creation (naturally not just writing), he opens, reflects, heals, and finally solidifies this crux. Nick has emotions, compassion, and opinions, but he didn't let them participate. He didn't want to be influenced or shaped. He wanted to understand and present it truthfully, "being in it, and getting out of it."
Nick's posture as an observer is a reporter, a writer, a psychoanalyst, and a listener pierced by the truth. I remember when I went to Barcelona to attend the wedding, I talked to the groom’s father, whose father was Louis the "Old Shark", a psychoanalyst from Sardinia. He said that Italy still follows the old method of psychoanalysis, that is, the patient sits in front of him with his back to the therapist, and the treatment room is silent except for records. I asked him whether his emotions would be affected? He said, of course it will. Sometimes sitting in the back shed tears, but in order not to affect the patient's narration, I can only try not to sob, the tone is not dynamic, and keep the whole body calm. This story touched me: They may be more empathetic and full of emotions than others, but they let themselves be in the pulse of others without being swayed, maintaining an independent mind without judgment, and they have to endure emotions. The impact of the incident and the backlog of events are commendable. I am willing to be Nick.
Back in the film, Jordan was originally an observer, but together with Daisy, she was stunned by Gatsby's attack. When she returned to Daisy's house, she invited Nick to come in, but Nick refused. She closed the door between her and Nick. She was still attached to that class, and he was out of it again, and he had a clearer and more disgusting feeling about all this. His emotions were flanked by the opposing Jordan, Daisy and Gatsby, and the gray crevices of reality were dismissed little by little. At this time, Jordan, as a reflection of Nick's attitude, became an accomplice of a class, a silent person and a typical woman. She is even "honest and trustworthy", and she is more like an independent woman than Daisy: she is unmarried, goes to parties, and dances with different men, is an excellent golfer, but still has a relationship with Daisy The exact same reaction, and all this seemed so natural and natural to them.
