留住我的华尔兹——菲茨杰拉德作品中以姗尔达为原型的女性形象分析

Save Me the Waltz——Zelda,the Archetype of the Female Images in Fitzgerald's Novels

菲茨杰拉德许多作品中的女性形象都是以其妻子姗尔达为原型的,如《人间天堂》的萝莎琳、《夜色温柔》中的尼柯尔、《重返巴比伦》中的海伦等。这些女性代表着20世纪20年代美国"新潮女郎"的思想行为和价值观念。她们漂亮、时髦、前卫,但过分地追求享乐、贪图荣华使她们最终在喧嚣浮华的"爵士乐时代"迷失了自己,并制造出了一幕幕的爱情悲剧。因此,在菲茨杰拉德酣畅欢乐生活描写的背后常常深埋着一种幻灭感,一种悲切的惆怅。

Zelda, the wife of Fitzgerald, is the archetype of many heroines in Fitzgerald＇s novels such as Rosharon in This Side of Paradise, Niclde in Tender is the Night and Helen in Babylon Revisited. These female images represent the ideology and behavior of the flappers in the 1920s of the U. S. A. They are beautiful, fashionable and open-minded and try to pursue material comforts, but at last they lose themselves in the roaring ＂Jazz Age＂ and ruin their love as well. Therefore, the sense of disillusionment and gloom is usually hidden in the description of the scenery of cheer and laugh in Fitzgerald＇s novels.
