| 總結: | My thesis concerns the analysis of the protagonist – Jay Gatsby – in terms of his illusory greatness and pitiful pettiness as depicted in “The Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. There are 4 main parts in my study: Introduction, Development, Conclusion, limitation and suggestion for further studies and Reference.
To begin with introduction, my thesis is clarified with a rationale for choosing the topic, the aims for my study, the methods of structuring the whole paper and the scope of my study.
Secondly, the Development part includes 2 chapters. On one hand, chapter I present the overview of Literature with some literature knowledge of literature, its genre – novel. In addition, this chapter provides some brief historical background related to the novel to help reader have a general view. In this chapter, Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s life and career are also taken into consideration. Moreover, this chapter also devoted to a basis of the novel “The Great Gatsby”: Setting, plot overview, themes and the main characters. On the other hand, chapter II focuses on analyzing the main character - Jay Gatsby into 2 different aspects: his illusory greatness and pitiful pettiness so that readers can recognize the ironic implication of the author, hence, have a more sympathy and tolerant opinion toward this character, who is just a victim of the decay of the American Dream as well as Jazz Age.
The third part is the conclusion of my study which summarizes the issues addressed in the whole thesis, and points out some limitations as well as makes some recommendation for further study. |
