摘要

弗•司格特•菲茨杰拉德是20世纪20年代美国最杰出的作家之一，被誉为美国“爵士时代”的代言人和桂冠诗人。

《了不起的盖茨比》是菲茨杰拉德的代表作之一，其叙述技巧和结构方面的成就早已被评论界一致公认，并受到人们的广泛好评。

本文立意象征主义的角度来分析这部作品，主要包括五部分。

第一部分介绍了菲茨杰拉德和《了不起的盖茨比》。

第二部分阐述了象征主义的具体含义，以及它在文学作品的运用。

第三部分主要讨论象征主义在《了不起的盖茨比》中的运用。

第四部分重点分析颜色、背景和事物的象征意义和作用。

第五部分为总结，这一部分再次突出主题思想，并阐释了菲茨杰拉德批判美国梦的作品风格的与众不同。

笔者认为他在小说中成功而广泛的运用了象征主义手法，突出了其主题思想，也使菲茨杰拉德批判美国梦的作品风格极为与众不同、富有张力。

因此本论文着重向读者阐述这些象征手法的浓厚含义，使读者能全面而深刻的了解作者笔下的《了不起的盖茨比》。
