Abstract
The Great Gatsby tells us a young man who comes from the lower class struggles to amass a great deal of wealth and devotes himself to acquiring possessions through bootlegging and other illegal operations, only to win Daisy’s love, but finally is abandoned by her and murdered. Seen from the surface, the novel is love story, but actually, it is the realistic reflection and criticism of the aura of the time. By rereading of flappers, Nike’s patriarchal narrative discourse is dismantled. A series of events and examples in the text illustrate the misunderstanding and misogyny of the narrator. Therefore, guided by Nike’s limited view, the characterizations of women in the text reveal the writer’s feminist value. This paper combines the intensive reading of the text with feminist theory through analyzing the characters, thus deepening understanding of the feminist theme of the novel.
Key words: feminist; patriarchal ideology; misogyny

I. Introduction

F. Scott Fitzgerald(1896-1940), the famous American novelist in the 1920s, is known as the spokesman and laureate of the “Jazz Age”. Together with William Faulkner and Earnest Hemingway, he was ranked one of the three prominent novelists in modern American literature. He created the “Romance of money”, opening up his own artistic field, and making a great contribution to American literature. The author was born on September 24, 1896, and died of heart attack in Hollywood on December 21, 1940. After his death, people generally regarded him as one of the most serious and ambitious novelist. Fitzgerald’s greatness lies in the fact that he vividly captured the mood and manners of his age and combined with his personal experience. He created a myth out of American life and portrayed the pictures of American youths vividly. The story of The Great Gatsby is a good illustration.
There is no doubt that The Great Gatsby is Fitzgerald’s masterpiece. The novel published in 1925, has been considered as a great masterpiece of American fictions to date. The story tells us a young man named Gatsby who is from the lower class struggles to marry a rich and beautiful lady of the upper class, but finally is abandoned by her. The women characters in this work are vivid and life-like, they also reflected the social changes. In this paper, adopting rereading of the text, textual analysis and intensive reading of the text combine with feminist point of view through analyzing the characters, thus deepening the understanding of the feminist theme of The Great Gatsby. 从女性主义视角解读《了不起的盖茨比》:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_12925.html
