d choose the new light purple car. We all knew that new car is more scenery style and purple is a rich color。 Mrs. Wilson’s vanity and potential heart bore there pletely.(陳法春,1997:12). In a result, she runs away from her husband and this strata the Wilson’s dream of car. Car provides fort but also risk. In the novel, the car is not only used as damaged weapon but also the tool used to test the level of morality, it even is a sense of responsibility. As a weapon, it crushed the right hand of the drunken man. It also killed the Mrs. Wilson’s life. As a tool of testing the morality, it shows the irresponsible of Daisy and Tom, it also shows Gatsby’s promise of ideal love to take the responsibility.(陳法春,1997:23)4) Eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg: These gigantic blue eyes look out at the valley of ashes behind a pair of yellow eyeglasses, George Wilson refers it to God, it is seeing everything happens before it, he saw the death of Myrtle and know Daisy run away after rushing to Myrtle, he witness the morality’s corruption of people. As in the novel “God knows what you39。ve been doing, everything you39。ve been doing”. (F. Scott Fitzgerald,1925:170)2. It uses the name of people in novels as metaphor1) The name of Daisy refers to the essence of her personality The names used in the novel are not arbitrary, the name used in the novel implied something except the surface meaning. (王萬兵,2003:2). Daisy is a name of a flower。 the white color is around the flower, while the yellow is in the middle of the flower.(盧珺 楊祎 郭徽,2008:4). The yellow and white color of the flower suggests the money along with the emptiness. Daisy is the typical role who seeks for money, she loved Gatsby, but she married Tom and abandon Gatsby for money, after she meets Gatsby many years later, she circles round Tom 5and Gatsby because Gatsby was a rich man at that time. She can betray love and his husband for money, she was born for money, and drunk for money. It is her empty of spirit, her degenerated morality and her dark heart that lead her cooperation with her husband plot to kill Gatsby.2) The name of Mumble refers to the essence of their personality Mumble means inarticulate speaking。 this is the pungent irony of the people who went to Gatsby without paying. They talked about something not be good for him, they enjoy everything Gatsby supplied at the same time. We can know their immortal from all this, thus the name of Mumble refers to the essence of their personality. ContrastFitzgerald changed the past straight forward Syria and preaching, he separated the story in the novel as some pictures, we can see the picture of the story and pare them, he doesn’t declare and be silent about his argument. But we can know the theme of the novel through our contrast of the picture. This picture seems different, inpatible, even conflict with each other, their natural and vivid explanation from every different point of view will present in front of us. We can know the Fitzgerald’s originality creation and remarkable writing skills. Coincidentally, this novel reveals the infinite artistic charm and deep ideological implication. There are many contrast in the novel, let’s analyze it. 1. The contrast of the party and the funeral Fitzgerald contrasts the big, noise and resplendent party when Gatsby is still alive with the variegated coloration, desolate and sad funeral. “In his blue garden men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the Champagne and the star.”(F. Scott Fitzgerald,1925:43) they lost themselves in the Champagne and Jazz music of car. Unbelievably, the guests invited to the party only a few. The majority of people are unexpected. Sometimes, they haven’t seen Gatsby since their ing and leaving. All these people look Gatsby’s home as amusement ground of full filled with song and free enjoyment. On the contrary, those who like flying moth in the banquet never appear at his funeral. On the crucial moment, Gatsby’s loverher real culprit Daisy shows her ingratitude for favors to leave him.(鄭慶慶,2003:2). This reveals the essence 6of the people at Gatsby’s party. The using of the contrast makes it clearer to know the essence of people at Gatsby’s . The contrast of the eastern and the western Fitzgerald looks the east egg as represent of the upper class, and looks the west egg as birthplace of fallen avatar. It is more likely to lead to our self examination that Fitzgerald pares these two places. The couple of Buchanan gathered in the hustle and bustle of the east egg, while the upstart –Gatsby, who makes huge fortune overnight, lived in the west egg. Gatsby makes money all for his own effort. He insists his dream and loyal to love, he represents the people who live in the West. The western symbolizes the young, hope, enterprising, vigorous. On the contrary, the couple of Buchanan depends on their background of their family, and their inheriting of huge fortune. They lead a gay life, and have nothing to do. They have no goal in life. (鄭慶慶,2003:2). They live in depraved life and their moral corrupted. 3. The contrast of Daisy and MyrtleThe novelist pares Daisy and Myrtle. The parison of two female tells us corruption of morality and perishing of their worth’s standard.Daisy is Tom’s wife while Myrtle is his lover, they are different in identity, status, family background or appearance, the former noble birth, from the upper classes, and she is the legal wife of upperclass, she is melancholy and beautiful, with bright look, bright eyes, and bright warm mouth. She is a lady of high station. The latter is the wife of a poor car mechanic. She is the mistress who can’t be shown at all. She is vulgar, artificial. She is not beautiful at all, but she is full of vigor.(鄭慶慶,2003:4). Even they have so many differentials. The essence of them can’t be overlooked,they are all infected with secular breath, their insides are empty and vanity, they pursuit stimulation, what they seek
