His masterpiece The Great Gatsby is regarded as a classic in American literature. The success of this novel is largely due to the effective application of double vision perspective. Through analyzing the application of double vision in The Great Gatsby, the thesis tries to claim that although Fitzgerald holds double attitudes towards things in the novel, double vision perspective hasn＇t blurred the themes but helped to clarify the themes. Because between each pair of polar opposites, one side of the opposites always triumphs over the other, which let the readers eventually see clearly the author＇s artistic intension.

It compares Feng＇s stories and Samuel Richardson＇s novels with a focus on how they chart the courses of love affairs. The essay argues that English sentimental novels accentuate psychological depth while their Chinese counterparts preclude depth with ritualized expressions of feelings. The contrast goes a long way to explaining the bifurcation of English and Chinese fiction in modern eras; one gives rise to several nuanced forms of psychological realism, modulating narrative perspectives as a way of mimicking the complex workings of layered consciousness. The Chinese stories of qing, on the other hand, suggest a different theory of love, one that downplays subjective control of feelings in favor of the effects of social or accidental circumstances. They evolve into a fictional tradition that aestheticizes and stylizes qing, reducing it to a surface of fixed patterns by virtue of inserting verse pieces into prose narratives.展开更多
