Abstract F.Scott Fitzgerald was one of the best writers of the twentieth century. He showed a surprisingly painstaking craftsmanship, especially in his autobiography work The Great Gatsby. Among this work, we can see something about his life.
And this thesis employs the prototype theory to discover the sources of the creation of characters in The Great Gatsby based on Fitzgerald’s life. It tries to probe into Fitzgerald’s life and marriage to discover the influence of his marriage on the creation of the characters in The Great Gatsby and Fitzgerald’s and Zelda’s mutual influence to pave the way for later analysis. Fitzgerald and Zelda had a bitter-sweet relationship. And the marriage between them had dramatic influence on thier life and the creations of their works, no matter the positive aspects or the negative aspects. What’s more, this thesis has deep analysis of the connections and similarities of Fitzgerald’s and Gatsby’s insistence on love, views on materialism and their tragic fates. These three aspects are the typical aspects that can show the reflections of Fitzgerald’s life in The Great Gatsby. 48245

摘要弗·司科特·菲茨杰拉德是美国20世纪最优秀的作家之一，他在作品中表现出惊人的才华，特别是在《了不起的盖茨比》这部杰作中。这部作品中很多元素是基于作者的真实生活，一定程度上可以说是他的自传。
因此本文试图使用原形理论，基于菲茨杰拉德的生活，探究《了不起的盖茨比》中人物创作的来源。菲茨杰拉德的婚姻和爱情无疑是影响人物创作的重要因素之一，因此本文试图从这个方面入手，菲尔茨杰拉德和塞尔达的婚姻是爱并痛苦着，这段婚姻对他们两的生活和作品的创作无疑有巨大的影响，无论是积极的影响或者消极的影响，我们都能在他们的作品中能看出一些痕迹，特别是在《了不起的盖茨比》这步杰作中。在最后一部分中通过探究菲茨杰拉德和盖茨比这一人物形象在爱的追寻与付出，物质观以及悲剧的结尾等方面的联系和相似，深入分析菲茨杰拉德在人物创作时所注入的原形，菲茨杰拉德的生活，爱情经历对于人物塑造的影响。

Introduction
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in a St. Paul middle-class family. His father Edward Fitzgerald was a poor businessman. His life should be common but the turning point in his life was when he fell in love with Zelda from a rich family. He proposed to her but failed because she thought that he was just a poor boy. But finally, Zelda agreed to marry him due to his sudden success and fame brought by the publication of This Side of Paradise. 《了不起的盖茨比》中菲茨杰拉德一生的反思:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_50783.html
