초록

This paper examines Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and “Crack-Up” from Deleuzian perspective. Deleuze in his A Thousand Plateaus suggests there are three kinds of line, which defines territory, makes ruptures in territory and breaks up completely with it. First there is a line of rigid segmentarity, secondly a line of molecular or supple segmentation and finally a line of flight. The Great Gatsby shows only two lines among Deleuzian three lines: a line of rigid segmentarity and a line of flight. Though green light can be a line of flight, it turns out to be powerless before the rigid line. Only its potentiality is interpreted by Nick, the narrator of this book. Fitzgerald moves on to explore a line of flight in “Crack-Up.” Though it deals with three lines all together, it specially focuses on both a supple line of segment and a line of flight. The rupture is not only compared to “cracked plate”, but also is scrupulously examined by showing that the narrator has no idea of what is properly called his own. Finally, a line of flight is represented by “becoming animal”. The readers can expect that he would create a new world by destructing the hierarchical opposition between animal and human being.
