《伟大的盖茨比》与《挪威的森林》比较研究 A Comparative Study between The Great Gatsby and Norwegian Wood Abstract: The Great Gatsby, masterpiece of F. S. Fitzgerald, is a tale of a retired soldier and bootlegger whose obsessive aspiration of wealth and lost love is destroyed by a corrupt dream, “the American Dream.” Haruki Murakami, famous contemporary Japan novelist, completed his masterpiece Norwegian Wood in 1987, 1980s’ bestseller, a love story pervaded with adolescent melancholy and indifference and appalling tendency towards death. As one of Murakami’s most admiring writer, F. Fitzgerald has inspired Murakami greatly with his work The Great Gatsby, such as the tragic consciousness during the creation of a novel. Key words: tragic comparison; sensual hedonism; generation gap; sublimation; disillusionment 摘　要：《伟大的盖茨比》是美国二十世纪初期伟大的小说家斯科特?菲茨杰拉德的代表作，描述了一个二战退伍军人的金钱梦和想要重温的旧梦是怎样随着“美国梦”的破灭而破灭的。村上春树是日本当代声名显著的小说家，他的代表作《挪威的森林》是一部充满了青春伤逝和疏离感甚至可怕的死亡倾向的爱情小说。菲茨杰拉德是村上春树最为崇拜的美国作家之一，他们的这两部小说在悲剧意识上明显地相似。 关键词：悲剧对比; 享乐主义; 代沟; 升华; 幻灭 Contents Ⅰ.
