《了不起的盖茨比》读后感
This is by no means a love novel. Although it is wrapped in love sweet and rich sugar coat, describing a five-year-old love affair of a rich man named Gatsby, no matter how much money fame he has in the meantime, the only thing in his heart is that the mansion faces the little green light on the coast-because in that liangying formation whirling, there lived his beloved goddess Daisy.
However, with the ups and downs of the novel, a layer of peeling this beautiful to gorgeous love sugar, we will find that wrapped in the innermost, but a astringent and hard, seems to have passed the period, faintly exudes a musty fruit dry child. Daisy, of course, is charming, otherwise Nick, the recorder and bystander of the whole story, would not portray the distant cousin in this way--"her face was melancholy and beautiful, with a bright figure on her face, two bright eyes, a bright and warm mouth, and an exciting trait in her voice,
It was an unforgettable feeling for the man who had dumped her: a kind of charismatic charm ... " But for Gatsby, that's not enough, far from enough. If she's just the level of a girl next door, how can she be a lifesaver when a man struggles with fate? So, in Gatsby's heart, he needed Daisy to be a perfect goddess, a perfect dream to keep him alive, and despite Daisy's imperfections, he kept adding to Daisy's heart, add picture and adding to it ...
Slowly, in Gatsby's battle with Fate and loneliness, Daisy became perfect and turned into all the pursuits of life, even if "her voice was full of money." Krishnamurti, India's great spiritual mentor, once said: "If you ask the truth, you will recognize that fear is not love, dependence is not love, jealousy is not love, possession control is not love, responsibility obligation is not love, self-pity is not love, the pain of not being loved is not love."
Yes, these are not love!
Whether it was the penniless Gatsby of that year, or the Gatsby who tried to attract and possess daisy with a wealth five years later, the starting point was not because of pure love.
So we might as well speculate--not so much that Gatsby fell in love with Daisy himself that he wanted to be close and wanted to climb a life and status similar to that of Daisy. Looking back at Real life, how many male Gatsby, Female Gatsby than in the novel description of the general, is in the name of love, to deceive themselves, thinking that they fall in love with a "white rich beauty", "high rich handsome" perfect object, not knowing in the "love" process, but also for their own to create a pool of unfathomable desire. They may never see what kind of person they are, or they may see clearly and still be obsessed with not letting go.
The saddest thing is that they may not even know what kind of person they are, what is right for them, they don't want to pay attention to their true value orientation, real needs and desires, but are bewildered by earthly values, with the flow and desire.
As a result, Gatsby's tragedy has been repeated around us time and time again, in order to be ethereal and illusory of these or those desires, some people lose morality, loss of ideals, loss of youth, loss of family, loss of life, loss of soul ... Near the end of the book, Gatsby's father came to his funeral to come up with an old book, "Cowboy Cassidy," which Gatsby read when he was not renamed "James Gueze", which recorded regular hours and good personal determination-sports, work, practice speeches and manners, learning new inventions, not smoking, reading useful books, saving, being more considerate to your parents ...
Such a little boy, before not being misled by the desire to love, before not indulging in the life of the greediness compete for, perhaps his dream, just like the title of this old book, when a heroic simple and happy Western cowboy. Some things, no matter how close they have been, can we be as sober and firm as we were in the first place, and understand that it has always been an elusive lamp of dreams?
