An example of movement is a wind blowing into the house followed by the pale flags twisting up towards the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on a sea. The term twisting used in this passage seems negative as it shows an image of pain, torture, and trying to break free. The frosted wedding-cake also seems artificial and not real, which suggests that it is negative. The wine-colored rug and the shadow also add on to the negative effect of the house, because wine-color is red, and red is a color of blood. Shadow is also negative since it creates an image of evil and

Nick describes the afternoon as being ‘broiling’ and Fitzgerald’s use of pathetic fallacy suggests the imminence of violent and heated emotions that ensue. The beginnings of these are seen in the first few moments of Nick entering the house when Daisy moves over to Gatsby and kisses him on the mouth. This adds tension to the scene as Tom is only in the other room. The reader soon sees Tom’s realisation of his wife’s affair with Gatsby and ‘that he was astounded’ as described through the eyes of Nick. Knowing Tom has a violent temper which was previously seen when he lashes out at Myrtle the reader therefore fears trouble.
Write about the ways in which Fitzgerald tells the story in chapter 7 of the novel. Chapter 7 is quite the iconic chapter in Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’. Right from the start of the chapter, we as the reader see a colossal change in the protagonist that is Jay Gatsby. His reasons being the fact that Daisy – his old, reconciled love – has started to visit his house more often. Gatsby’s lifestyle that consisted of lavish parties and amount of unnecessary servants are no more, as his attention is now focussed on Daisy Buchanan.
A signature style of baroque was the rich use of ornamented decorations. Architectural ornaments were first found on the buildings and were very detailed and extravagant in size. The style became so apparent that it quickly dictated the direction of furniture, jewelry and clothing. Gowns became even more elaborate in size and pattern. Jewelry was worn in excess and hair styles were tremendously grand in scale,and very flamboyant.
Gellburg’s response to Slyvia’s outburst is not evidently displayed through speech, but through the use of Miller’s stage directions: ‘He is stock still; horrified, fearful’. The words ‘horrified’ and ‘fearful’ suggest that the news of such events came as a shock to him and undoubtedly indicate that he is affected by such news and is also stricken by Sylvia’s powerful, unexpected revelation of her feelings. Miller conveys the message that that Gellburg finally comes to understand his ignorant attitude as one that has led to his self-denial and self-hatred. It later becomes clear in the play that Gellburg is suppressing an important part of who he is, and in scene eleven, he confesses to a bottled-up desire of ‘going and sitting in the Schul with the old men and pulling the tallis over my head’. Sylvia, in her frustration with Gellburg, says ‘Don’t sleep with me again’ in a rather commanding manner.
He brings Daisy and Gatsby into disrepute when he confronts them regarding their affair in front of everyone else. His double standard here is very evident because he is happy to unfairly accuse them when he is currently in the midst of having his own affair with his mistress, Myrtle Wilson. He is a very hypocritical man and is not afraid to do anything necessary to remain in control of the situation. Mr Buchanan is also used by Fitzgerald to play the “Brute” character that is present in just about all classic novels (e.g. Roo in “The Summer of The Seventeenth Doll.”) Fitzgerald makes it very clear to us that Tom is “A hulking man” by how the other characters in the book refer to him.
Web. 5 Dec. 2014. In the article of criticism “Macbeth,” Mary Ives Thompson and Francesco Aristide Ancona analyze how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth change dramatically from the beginning of the play to the end. Both the critics believe that such change happens due to the fact that both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have motive to break out of their strict roles given to them by society. They write that Macbeth emerges as a man who is “completely confident in his grab for power.” Lady Macbeth, the one who told Macbeth to simply wash the blood off of his hands, ends up roaming around in her sleep through “the castle corridors at night bemoaning her unclean hands following the murder of Duncan and his guards.” At first, Macbeth was a kind man, but he became “completely remorseless in his bid for the crown.” And Lady Macbeth was fixed upon power and prayed that spirits would help her by getting rid of her feminine aspects.
This information deeply shocks her. At first she is very annoyed by the superficiality with which other people speak about that death at her party. She is sensible and understands the importance of his gesture, also because Clarissa herself has may times thought about suicide. Her reaction is also physical; indeed she immediately feels burning and enters in a small and dark room to be alone. She imagines his death and understands why he committed suicide.
The first evidence we see of Hooper’s bullying is the note that he drops from a window when Kingshaw first arrives, ‘I didn’t want you to come here’. This immediately sets the tone and strikes conflict between the two boys, sparking fear and insecurity within Kingshaw, knowing that he already isn’t wanted and hasn’t even spoken to Hooper yet. Through the use of flashbacks we gain insight into Kingshaw’s past which reveals how insecure he is which due to lack of love from his mother. This fear and insecurity is what Hooper thrives on, targeting on these weaknesses. To get away from Hooper and his torment, Kingshaw runs away to Hangwood.
