《了不起的盖茨比》通篇运用了象征手法,成为揭露美国历史“爵士乐时代”的寓言书。本文主要从色彩象征、人物形象象征、天气地域象征三个大的方面入手,深刻披露现实与理想的差距与冲突,导致“美国梦”破灭的社会现实。 Throughout the Great Gatsby, Symbolism has been used as an allegory to expose the history of the United States and the Jazz Age. This paper mainly discusses the three major aspects of the color symbol, the symbol of the human image and the symbol of the geographical region of the weather, disclosing the gap and conflict between the reality and the ideal, resulting in the social reality that the “American Dream” is shattered.
