6、前繁荣、物质过剩时代的美国梦的破灭,展现了美国梦对人们日常生活的消极影响,尤其是对男性人物(盖茨比、尼克、汤姆)的影响上。尽管他们对自己的生活都充满了雄伟的抱负,但变质了的美国梦却粉碎了他们的梦想。此外,菲茨杰拉德还运用独特的手法描述了这三个特殊的男性人物;通过对这三个人物与菲茨杰拉德的对照可以看出:作者从某种程度上说是在讲述自己的经历,盖茨比、尼克、汤姆实际上是作家个性特点三个不同侧面的反映,这也是小说之所以成功的魅力所在。关键词: 美国梦;黛西布坎南;菲茨杰拉德;了不起的盖茨比ON THE MALE CHARACTERSIN THE GREAT GATSBY1. Introduction
7、Reading Fitzgeralds works, we can hunt for many literary values from them. People gradually pay more attention to Fitzgeralds masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. Some articles about The Great Gatsby have been published, such as American Dream and Character Symbolization in the Novel The Great Gatsby Chen

9、 3, 2000.,etc. These articles are both odds and ends, not integrated. So, the aim of this article is to perfectly introduce the three male characters (Gatsby, Nick and Tom). And as we known, only having enough comprehension of the author and his life, the article can be grasped clearly.Though Mark T
10、wain and William Dean Howells thought that America would become the hope of the world, F. Scott Fitzgerald gradually found that this new world was all disaster. F. Scott Fitzgerald, who lived in the midst of the “roaring twenties” and was part of it all-driving fast cars, drinking hard whisky, and t
11、aking an immense delight in it, was perceptive enough to understand that America was “a moon that never roses.” And as much as he enjoyed the “roaring” of the post-war boom years, he foresaw its doom and failure. Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul. He attended a private school in
12、 New Jersey, then Princeton University. Academic difficulties forced him out of Princeton midway through his junior year; he returned the following fall but left college permanently in 1917 to join the army, as World War I neared its end. While stationed in Montgomery, Alabama, he met and fell in lo
13、ve with a wild seventeen-year-old beauty named Zelda Sayre. Zelda finally agreed to marry him, but her overpowering desire for wealth, fun, and leisure led her to delay their wedding until he could prove a success. And with the publication of This Side of Paradise in 1920, Fitzgerald became a litera
14、ry sensation, earning enough money and fame to convince Zelda to marry him. In 1922 he published his second novel, The Beautiful and Damned and a collection of short stories, Tales of the Jazz Age. In 1925 Fitzgerald managed to complete his masterpiece: The Great Gatsby. His next novel, Tender Is th
15、e Night (1934) was received coldly mainly because America was deep in the Great Depression and nobody wanted to read about expatriates in France. Battered by the failure of the book and Zeldas mental breakdowns, he drank to excess and grew seriously ill, died in 1940.Fitzgerald is a famous American
16、modern writer and is called “spokesman in the Jazz Age”. And his greatness lies in the fact that he found intuitively in his personal experience the embodiment of the nation and created a myth out of American life. The story of The Great Gatsby is a good illustration. T. S. Eliot read The Great Gats
17、by three times and concluded that it was “the first step that American fiction has taken since Henry James.” T. S. Eliot. Letter to Scott Fitzgerald . New York: New York Press, 1925.The main theme of The Great Gatsby meditates on 1920s American as a whole, in particular the disintegration of the Ame
18、rican dream in an era of unprecedented prosperity and material excess. Fitzgerald positions the characters of The Great Gatsby as emblems of these social trends. The Great Gatsby shows a running theme of how the American dream affects all of the characters: they each have their own aspiration for th
19、eir own life, but, ironically, their aspiration is only revolved around wealth, and the core of their life is to enjoy happiness from money. And, Daisy, the only heroine, who relates with the other characters, has a perfect vantage point in the story- she is Gatsbys lover, Nicks cousin, Toms wife, a
20、nd all three are closely linked because of her. Besides, The Great Gatsby is also an autobiographical novel. Fitzgerald combines his experience with the male characters, such as Gatsby, Nick and Tom showing his own experience, life and dream.2. The Male Characters American DreamThe Great Gatsby is a
21、 novel that illustrates the society in the 1920s and the associated beliefs, values and dreams of the American people at that time. These beliefs, values and dreams can be summed up be what is termed the “American Dream”: a dream of money, wealth, prosperity and the happiness that supposedly came wi
22、th the booming economy and get-rich-quick schemes that formed the essential underworld of American upper-class society. Scott Fitzgerald illustrates the American Dream and the “foul dust” or the carelessness of a society that floats in the wake of this dream. According to the characters respective e
23、xpectation, it can be seen that the American Dream is not confined to one social class or type of person, but to the whole nation, everyone.2.1. The Tragic Hero GatsbyIn the novel, Gatsby reveals himself to be an innocent, hopeful young man who stakes everything on his dream, not realizing that his
24、dream is unworthy of him. To Gatsby, his dream is of spiritual reunion with Daisy, but his prior dream is wealth. He thinks that wealth can solve all his problems: time, Daisy, and love. “Cant repeat the past? he cried incredulously. Why of course you can!Im going to fix everything just the way it w
