【正文】 in discovered that he was being more and more attracted by the gay side of life.”8 He danced with the most beautiful and youngers women. He chatted with the most popular women. And he thought they got along with each other well. At the same time, his wife’s beauty was gradually disappearing in Benjamin’s eyes. The dream of Benjamin’s ideal love was of an end. Love should be established on forever things, for instance, responsibility, family and so on. If Benjamin and Hildegarde could be responsible for each other, they would not be separated. However, the fact was that the love between them was died away and could not e back. In this novel, Fitzgerald talked not only the love between Benjamin and Hildegarde, but also the others. “Eternal inertia es to live with each of us one day and stays with us to the end.”9 To be true, superficial love is doomed to de destroyed. In fact, Fitzgerald described the same love in his others novels, for example, The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night. In his novels, he gave the men a low class and men always loved people a rich and charming girl. In addition, he gave the women a high class, but the women often had a sad ending. This was actually Fitzgerald’s love. 8 Fitzgerald and his wife’s “social role and image in the novels have pletely bee one”.10 This did not mean that Fitzgerald showed his love in novels, but it showed that his value of life could be studied through the contact between his life and works. The breaking of love dream in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was obvious. C. Relation Between Benjamin Button and His son The relationship between Benjamin Button and his son, Roscoe, was very interesting. When Roscoe was young, the book described him little. The first time Fitzgerald described Roscoe was that Benjamin did not worship his wife when his wife was thirty five years old, and at that time, his son was fifteen years old. The author did not write too much about Roscoe’s childhood because there was no contradiction between Benjamin and Roscoe at that period. Roscoe was too young to make the plex contradiction with Benjamin. And for Benjamin, when he was at middle age, he was not too old or too young. He was tired of his wife, but he was still a father and he cared his son. With the elapse of the time, Roscoe graduated from Harvard and Benjamin handed the family business on 。 however, this “were fifty years ahead of style” 4. Roger Button hoped he could have a healthy and clever boy. Then he could send him to Yale College in Connecticut. But When his father hurried to the hospital to “determine whether the darkness of night had borne in new life upon its bosom” 5, he was confused by the doctors’ and nurses’ reaction. Mr. Button felt himself sad when he saw his newborn son, “an old man apparently about seventy years of age” 6. At the moment when Benjamin was born, his dream was broken. 6 Whatever Mr. Button had to accept the reality, he treated the old man as a child. Then the contradiction came. Mr. Button bought boy’s clothes for his son, but his newborn son felt the clothes made him like a monkey. This is the first bifurcation between the father and son. But Benjamin promised to his father。s survival criterion, such as freedom, democracy and equality was trampled. In the new environment, all Americans seek for the extreme freedom and fortune。 for all that, he lost himself in the luxury and dissipation life. Over and above that, Fitzgerald had his writing dream。第三章 從本杰明和本杰明的父親的角度，闡釋了美國夢的破滅，并分析 從美國夢的破滅到對生命的嚴肅思考 。巴頓 的人生奇旅 》中體現(xiàn)的美國夢的破滅。本杰明以七十多歲的老人模樣出生，又以 新生 嬰兒的狀態(tài)死亡。 《本杰明司各特 historical consciousness。 Petry discussed the love, sex and marriage。第三章從本杰明和本杰明的父親的角度，闡釋了美國夢的破滅，并分析從美國夢的破滅到對生命的嚴肅思考。巴頓 的人生奇旅 》中體現(xiàn)的美國夢的破滅。本杰明以七十多歲的老人模樣出生，又以新生嬰兒的狀態(tài)死亡。 《本杰明司各特 方案設計： 第一章分析本杰明與其父親、妻子和兒子的種種矛盾和利益沖突。第三章從本杰明和本杰明的父親的角度闡釋了美國夢的破滅。 本科生畢業(yè)論文冊 學院 外國語學院 專業(yè) 英語 班級 20XX級英語 X 班 學生 XXX 指導教師 XXX 河北師范大學本科畢業(yè)論文任務書 編 號： 論文題目： 初論《 X 杰 X?XX 的 XXXX》中 XX 夢的破滅 學院： 外國語學院 專業(yè)： 英語 班級： 20xx 級英語三班 學生姓名： XXX 學號： 20XX01XXXX 指導教師： XXX 職稱： 副教授 論文研究目標及主要任務 本論文的研究目標是探討 《 X 杰 X?XX 的 XXXX》中美國夢的破滅的幾個方面。第二章分析了本杰明父親、本杰明和本杰明妻 子各自地位的變化，來展示他們的社會地位最終的幻滅。 主要參考文獻 Fitzgerald, F.
