Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby depicts the short and tragic life of Gatsby. The American Dream is the theme of this novel, and researchers have analyzed Gatsby’s American Dream from different perspectives. Many color metaphors are employed to imply the disillusionment of Gatsby’s American Dream. Guided by conceptual metaphor theory, this study uses qualitative methods. It analyzes color metaphors, finding they shape tragic images and reveal Gatsby’s love tragedy. And the findings expand metaphor research scope and enrich expectations.
