Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter-- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
老實說我不認為費茲傑羅有意用大亨小傳批判美國夢,即使解讀起來是這樣沒錯不想展開來講我畢業了好累比較像因為他在那個時代所以呈現出的資本主義是那樣,自我投射的部分太多了←這完全不是本科生講話ㄉ方式我知道槽點在哪但先這樣好累 大亨小傳的每個主題在綠光戀人裡都看得到,真心覺得大亨小傳是潛文本&艾德嘉和卡麥隆互為表裏(蓋茨比的自我重塑和天真)就這個層面上我認為綠光對於資本階級腐爛虛偽的批判比費茲傑羅還猛烈,後者在我眼裡帶著強烈同情The Great Gatsby - Wikipedia
