《The Great Gatsby》读后感(一)：很多人批评这本书的剧情，但事实上，我觉得...

简单来说：Gatsby出彩的不是情节，而是Fitzgerald高超的，隐喻技巧。从故事一开场的自嘲到结尾nick坐在beach，开见纽约的灯光隐退，仿佛回到荷兰人初次驶进曼哈顿的年代，房屋变回树林，以及书中每一处，如在Queensboro桥上的每一个细节（这段总共才3页）暗示着人物性格和剧情走向。

Such narrative is what The Great Gatsby outdistances its contemporary literature.

《The Great Gatsby》读后感(二)：这本书也没人评？

这应该是美国20年代比较重要的小说了。小说不是很长，只有九章，可以闲时拿来看看。gatsby是不以情节取胜的书，只有美国那个年代的虚浮、物质繁荣、和纸醉金迷，精神世界却是一个巨大的洞，无论gatsby开多少party，挣多少钱，也填不满。

其实我也无法理解为什么gatsby对那个物质女那么的念念不忘，原来用不正当的方式挣很多很多钱，买那么大的豪宅，不知所以地夜夜笙歌只是为了博得美人留意，哪怕只是看一眼，看一眼对面party的热闹喧嚣，也许她也就慕名而来。你的爱太卑微，太含蓄，低到了尘土里，何必呢？

gatsby，为了她你浪费了你的时间，为了她你虚耗了你的生命，落得个如此下场。虽然对爱很执着，可是你爱的那个人值得你如此付出吗？

《The Great Gatsby》读后感(三)：The great American literature

大抵每个民族都有自己的神话和史诗，有点像人的指纹或胎记。哪怕像“美国”这样一个几乎是空名的含混存在（当人们从词义和单复数上去区分states和nation的时候，我认真想了下，似乎除了能为区分U.N.和U.S.A.做点准备，真没有太大意思）。在我此时所关心的事物上，除了一种使用时态的习惯，没有什么必然因素让美国这样的后大航海存在与那些动辄几千年的民族相互区隔。注定一上来就被抛在那个人造时间标尺的“现代”刻度上的我们，没准第一次有机会亲历或见证传说中上古民族的精神遗产如何都不过是从一群东拼西凑的邻人当中偶然却又鲜有例外地炮制出来，并且有那么一些幸运者，最终作为一个被时间淬炼（或篡改）的奇迹而令人信服（我相信，许多年后美国能留下的精神遗产，仍然和民主这个“超级英雄”没有或顶多只有半美元关系，至于自由，那是一个要么早已在那要么从未有过的东西）。对这方面的奇特时空张力的具体暗示，旅行者们也早已在黄石国家公园或巨型红豆杉树林中熟视无睹了吧。当然，美国的实际情形，如果要避免上面的简单化之嫌，也可以从菲茨杰拉德那个“返老还童”的短篇故事取譬，以便增添一种更确切的错乱中的乡愁。毕竟，我们若要对美国本身（这本身是个什么鬼？）赋予一种天真的深邃或磅礴的优美，就是说，一种史诗或神话原型的气质，这比附里总难免有点拼贴或后现代的闹剧感。所以，到头来无非还是直接去谈美国文学的结晶(这种清醒至少可以帮助避免盖茨比绿光式的错误)，比如克莱恩的布鲁克林大桥，比如麦尔维尔的亚哈，比如菲茨杰拉德的盖茨比，比如眺望绿色乳房激动如大海的荷兰人，比如弥留之际把头转向夕阳的鲸鱼，像是感谢那位圆形的忧郁与快乐之神将它四周漂浮的血和油变成了金子。

一个时代所能有的最大悲哀，是整体上人们都在说和听着“差不多”的无聊故事。资本和意识形态很有效的引导这样的布局。杰出的说书人没少被这些话语挖苦，却出乎意料，将它们也编织到深刻动人的故事里。这种叙述者的慷慨既温厚又超然。

《The Great Gatsby》读后感(四)：Gatsby’s American dream

When I finished reading this novel the great Gatsby, some questions jumped out of my mind immediately. What was Gatsby’s American dream？ Why Gatsby changed his name？ Did Gatsby really love Daisy？ Why Gatsby tried his best to become a moneyed man, and then pursued Daisy？

At first I was confused what the definition of American dream is. So I turned to Google for help. It told me that the American Dream is an idea which suggests that all people can succeed through hard work, and that all people have the potential to live happy, successful lives.

In my opinion, Gatsby’s American dream is to be a moneyed man, to get Daisy’s love again, most of all, to be a real upper crust. I thought he doesn’t love Daisy actually. In Gatsby’s subconscious, Daisy was just a symbol, a symbol of a superior social class, a delicate way of life. He knew it clearly that only to marry a woman like Daisy who rich, have a good background, and be well-educated can he became a real upper crust, and he thought money and power can help him to become strong, to win back Daisy, to make his dream come true. So he set up his ambition. At first, he became a moneyed man by all means. He did all the business which can earn a large amount of money. Second, he tried to transform his family background. He changed his name, when Gatsby met Daisy at the first time, he did not name Gatsby, and his name was James Gatz. Why would he abandon his formal name, deny his past, and change his name？ Because he hates his poor family background, he was eager to get rid of it. He wanted to be a real upper crust desperately. Third, he built up his education background. He cheated Nick that he was graduated from Yale; and he tried to be a kind, gentle, and well-educated man in front of people. All the things he did were to hide his sense of inferiority. And during this novel, we can see that Gatsby always calls Nick as old sports. It showed that he was a vulgar man in deep. He thought he was doing well, and others would pay respect to him. But didn't know he was always cheating himself.

As far as I’m concerned, Gatsby was lost in his great, fantastic, and ambitious dream. If he didn’t pursue daisy at the very beginning, he would not be murdered. There is a saying goes that never lose in our beautiful dream. During the way of pursuing our dream, the significant thing was not realize our dreams, but to select a way which was the most meaningful for us. But Gatsby couldn’t understand it; he was lost in his American dream for good.

Maybe If Gatsby was not eager to be a real upper crust, he would live happily enough. He would marry a normal woman, do some normal job, and live a normal but happy life.

《The Great Gatsby》读后感(五)：Broken Dreams, Permanent Soul

Considered as “an elegy of the Jazz Age ”, The Great Gatsby raised waves deeply in my heart. To be honest,I read the Chines version of this book several years ago. However, this time I have a totally different understanding.

Gatsby,the hero of the novel, lost his heart to a wealthy and vain woman,Daisy when he was young.But he was too poor to marry her at that time.Five years passing,he became very wealthy by doing illegal business,but Daisy had married another rich man,Tom.To catch the attention of Daisy,Gatsby held grand parties at his house and managed to meet Daisy again,who was more than delighted to see how rich Gatsby was and fell in love with him.However,when Gatsby insisted Daisy claim her love to him and depart from her husband,Daisy didn't act as Gatsby expected,in that she was afraid to lose the shelter of her rich husband.Loving Daisy so deeply, Gatsby,though, didn’t realize that what Daisy loved was just his wealth.After Daisy killed a woman by car accident,Gatsby bore the accusation and finally,lost his life for love.

When I was a child,I regarded Gatsby as a stupid man who lost all he had just because a selfish and vain woman.After reading the book by heart this time,I admire Gatsby for his sincerity and dedication.To pursue the ideal love,he poured determined efforts to become rich,trying hard to narrow the distance between him and Daisy. Compared with others,Gatsby is a great person with beautiful dreams,infinite hope and unconventional grace.“If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away.”said Nick.

In the end of the story,nobody came to Gatsby’s funeral,which reflects the apathy of the world and snobbishness of people.The life of Gatsby seems a tragedy,but the tragedy exactly shows his precious virtue.His dreams are broken,while his spirit is everlasting.

From my perspective,Daisy stands for dreams that we struggle for.She is beautiful but unreachable,for which we must make great efforts.It is likely that we may never achieve them.Yet I hold the opinion that we should never quit before the barriers.On the way to our ideal palace,we may fall,get injured and lose many of what we own. However,only when we are struggling,are our heart full of hope and happiness. Only that means that we are really alive.

The novel serves as a good reminder of another story about Icarus,who ruined himself when get closed to his dream,the sun.Not that he isn’t aware of the danger,but that the eager to fly high made he give up his life.In reality,usually we needn’t pay such a high cost,but a number of people,are blow hot and cold when confronted with difficultites.They may never have a opportunity to enjoy the passion when trying to realize our dreams.

“ Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.”My dear friends,please chase what you want bravely!As we pursue,so are we alive.No matter what we get at last,it is what we do that makes who we are.Even if Gatsby ended with a pity,his spirit is always shining,encouraging us to love what we love.
