On the Spiritual Ecological Crisis--From Tender is the Night_英语论文

摘要

20世纪初美国经历了一场 “精神生态危机”的思想动荡。在那个时期，美国公众普遍对自己所处的社会、自己的未来感到迷惘，消极情绪笼罩着整个国家。那个时期的美国文学基调总体偏黯淡，其大多反映的是一战后美国人民的困惑不安情绪。本文研究菲茨杰拉德的杰作《夜色温柔》，它也是美国“精神生态危机”时期的典型文学作品。通过对作品中所描写的人物与社会进行文本分析，挖掘其主题思想，解析“精神生态危机”的概念、内涵及其表现形式。

关键词：精神生态危机；《夜色温柔》；文学分析
