重释《了不起的盖茨比》中黛西的人物刻画

Reinterpretation of Daisy-the Female Protagonist in The Great Gatsby

《了不起的盖茨比》是20世纪美国文学史上杰出的文学艺术家弗.司各特.菲茨杰拉德的代表作之一。小说对女主人公黛西的性格刻画是众多学者关注的焦点。人们倾向于从传记和历史批评的角度,即从菲氏的生平、其道德观或当时的社会、经济环境等角度,分析和论证黛西自私冷漠,爱慕虚荣的秉性。但透过新批评理论的视角,读者将会发现,黛西自私冷漠、爱慕虚荣这一秉性并非与生俱来,而是源自其婚姻生活中所遭受的一系列沉重打击。

The Great Gatsby is one of F.Scott Fitzgerald＇s masterpieces,who is one of the most outstanding Amecican writers in the 20 th century. In The Great Gatsby,Fitzgerald describes Daisy as a woman with self-fishness and indifference,as well as vainity,which some critics have justified from the aspects of Fitzgerald＇s life,his values of moral,while others from the aspects of society and the economy development of Fitzgerald＇s times. From the perspetctive of New Criricism Daisy was not born with self-fishness and indifference,which is,actually,results from the series of heavy blows in her marriage.
