【正文】 , there are two notable people that should be noticed. One is Norman Mailer. his fourth novel—An American Dream (1966), The book is written in a poetic style with metaphor that creates unique and hypnotizing narrative and dialogue. Mailer peels away the layers of the social norms to reveal a world of pure appetite and relentless cruelty. The other one is Edward Albee. He feels the reality of American society cannot be promised and must be disclosed. In his play The American Dream (1961), he ironically criticizes people who only go for external things rather than seeking the practical, to meet the appearance of bodybuilding but ignore the internal weakness. Actually, The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaims that ―all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights including Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.‖ (Wikipedia: the United States Declaration of Independence) The American Dream is based on an ideal realm that everyone can develop their ability and finally bee successful only if they are continuously making their own efforts。 it is an equal opportunity to expect success in spite of family background. Americans have traditionally believed that only through hard 本科畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文） 12 work, will they change destiny and obtain wealth. The American Dream is originally to achieve the dual progress in spirit and materials。 however, it is gradually replaced by sheer money and pleasure. The American Dream is bait for encouraging young men to struggle and fight, and then can get what they seeks for. In fact, it is just an illusion that never es true. Although it can make people inspired and enhance morale, it disappears quickly. The tragedy Gatsby can illustrate the point. Gatsby is embodied in the conflict of American life‘s dream and reality。 he is always living in his own fantasy and regarding it as reality, even pursuing it persistently. He was born poor, but he is eager for a better life. Disillusion of the American Dream For each American, the American dream is a hope for success, it is a ladder from penniless to wealthy, and it attracts people to go to west and tries to bee millionaires. Until the nieenth century, the accumulation of wealth and material prosperity of the country suddenly gets to an unprecedented expansion, the American Dream is no longer full of positive and moral energy, spiritual need and material need are strongly conflicted, and people own more and more wealth but declined morality. The Great Gatsby is just the real description of the American society in 1920s, during which all traditional values turn into pure and mad pursuit for money. Gatsby‘s dream is to bine love and money, at first, the reason why he pursues money is just to bee wealthy and successful, and then he is to pursue his dream—the fantastic love, the two dreams belong to ―love dream‖. Therefore, the evaporation of love dream means all of his dreams are evaporated. Since Gatsby has rich materials, he is eager for restarting with Daisy. However, the American Dream cannot bee true only with amounts of wealth in America。 even Daisy is an ambitious, selfish, hypocritical and material girl, nevertheless, Gatsby regards her as the incardination of perfection, and pursues her at all costs, actually, it is just an illusion that cannot be realized. But he continues to chase the unrealistic dream blindly, which leads to his tragedy. Inevitable Evaporation of the American Dream 本科畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文） 13 The Great Gatsby is considered as one of the typical American novel to reflect the atmosphere of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgerald describes Gatsby, the hero of the novel, as a ―great‖ man, because he has no other dream except for love, although he also has many deficiencies and does illegal wine making, from the beginning to the end in the novel, Gatsby has only one goal, that is pursuing Daisy in spite of any obstacles, just because of the ―great‖ goal, he is able to accumulate amounts of wealth to the upper social status. However, in the postwar era, true love is difficult to pursue, material is beyond love。 in addition, Gatsby even sacrifices himself for his love, Gatsby is to Daisy what Americans are to the American dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald describes the image of Daisy deliberately to reveal the disillusion of American dream, Daisy‘s beauty means the American Dream is attractive and attempting, and Daisy‘s selfishness and emptiness means the American Dream is unrealistic and nonsense. Gatsby is incapable to distinguish the reality and the dream, so he spends the whole life in pursuing the illusion and creating a fantastic world. He only realizes that even though Daisy‘s voice is full of money, he never realizes that they belong to totally different worlds and stands for various values. What makes Gatsby tragic is that he contributes his beautiful ideal to a superficial girl, the destroying of Gatsby‘s illusion means the disillusion of the American Dream, his tragedy also reflects the author‘s and the American dream pursuers‘ tragedy. Gatsby and Daisy have different social statuses, for them, there is an insurmountable division, indicating his inevitable tragedy. 本科畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文） 14 5 Conclusions In the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald successfully shapes an image of the victimGatsby, who has no connection with the upper class, but he bees a millionaire through illegal means at last。 From the perspective of materials, he is successful。 but he fails in the unrealistic illusion。 while Tom and Daisy stands for the upper class, but they have little morality, responsibility and dream, they are so poor in mental wealth. Through the novel, it seems to be an ordinary love story of Daisy and Gatsby to love a
