- Move in genre from romance to tragedy
Pages 108 - 112
- Personification of the cars
- Use of telephone, converstaions tell story
- Weather, makes you feel physically uncomfortable
- Dialogue, 'Daisy comes over quite often' says Gatsby-alot of detail in small amount of dalogue
- Narrator, Nick knows the story so can set situations up how he wants
- Repetition of the word hot from the conductor
- Weather representation of moods, as Tom's anger grows weather gets hotter or could be sexual tension between daisy and Gatsby-heat representing climax
- Colour, repetition of green references-jealousy
- Dialogue, more dialogue than description
- Time
- Irony, Wilson talking to Tom about Myrtle being unfaithful
- Silence/Lack of/Increase Representing a change in genre ---> tragedy
- Narrated voice, Nick getting more confident as saying 'we' instead of 'they'
- Juxtaposition, Tom rude > Gatsby polite
- Power, Gatsby loses power 'I used to laugh sometime, but there was no laughter in his eyes' later says how tom was filled with laughter
- What people say contradicts the descriptions of appearence given by Nick
- Cars, Myrtle gets run over (Tom still doesn't care)
- Dramatic scene, casually described though
- Very Linear
- 'We drove on towards death'
This is a good set of points that would lead to a strong analysis of how the story is told in this chapter. You're keeping a strong focus on storytelling. Also good on themes/motifs. Do we tend to forget Nick in this chapter is it the opposite?
