摘要
俯瞰尘世的医生眼睛是《了不起的盖茨比》的中心意象,它暗含着菲茨杰拉德对美国消费社会时代病症的诊断。以弗洛姆的人道主义伦理理论分析,消费社会的病症体现在三方面:人异化成商品;爱表现为占有和束缚;病态社会造成人的疯狂和堕落。盖茨比的了不起在于他超越了病态的爱欲表达,坚持对梦想的追求。菲茨杰拉德通过塑造盖茨比这个人物,批判美国消费社会下人性荒漠的现实,表达对美好人性的乐观期望。
In The Great Gatsby,F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the imagery of a pair of doctor’s eyes overlooking the dusty world,which implies a diagnosis of the Jazz Age of America. This paper analyzes the characters in the novel according to the three criteria proposed by Erich Fromm of judging the sanity of a society: the independence of the individual,the expression of love by and the creativity of the individual. We find that the text expresses an optimistic expectation of the future society while criticizing the alienation of human beings in the commercial society.
