Fitzgerald uses Chapter 6 to show how the love story of Gatsby and Daisy begins to crumble.
Fitzgerald slowly reveals Gatsby's history to build up the mystery to who he really is. Fitzgerald has Nick use a semantic field of fabrication as he tells of Gatsby's 'imagination' and 'Platonic conception of himself' as a teenager to highlight the facade that revolves around Gatsby. The references to 'conception' and 'inventions' emphasise Nick's, and possibly Fitzgerald's view that Gatsby himself and the world around him are constructions and is epitomised by his materialistic ways to please Daisy. Fitzgerald ensures this history is not directly from Gatsby's voice, giving possibility that Nick has constructed the description to allow the mysteriousness of Gatsby to build. Fitzgerald also has Nick claim he breaks the chronology 'to clear this set of misconceptions away' as he tells the story of 'James Gatz', yet it seems ironically placed in Chapter 6 due to Gatsby's naive claim later that he can 'repeat the past'. Gatsby's history is placed in Chapter 6 to allow the reader to piece together Gatsby's past, giving insight to why he feels it necessary to 'fix everything just the way it was'. By Fitzgerald revealing more details of Gatsby's history the reader can realise how shallow he is, heightening the genre of the novel as an American Tragedy as it begins to become clear that Gatsby's facade is due to the American Dream. Fitzgerald uses Chapter 6 to show how the love
Which character was responsible for the death of Eva Smith / Daisy Renton / Mrs. Birling?
Which character was responsible for the death of Eva Smith / Daisy Renton / Mrs. Birling? 'An Inspector Calls' is a mysterious play that was written in 1947 and is set in the fictional town of Brumley, in 1912 (prior to the start of the Great War). The playwright is John Boynton Priestly, who uses a variety of interesting, unexpected twists in order to captivate the reader. In this essay, I will answer the question, 'who is the most responsible character for the suicide of Eva Smith / Daisy Renton?' In order to do this, I will analyse each characters involvement, and examine the range of emotions they display throughout. The play is a mystifying and exhilarating mix of many themes, including greed, vanity and rejection, as well as love, sex and secrecy. I feel that the play conveys a deep message without being melodramatic. 'An Inspector Calls' tells of the bourgeoisie Birling family celebrating the engagement of their daughter Sheila to an aristocratic man, Gerald Croft. The catalyst to the play, Inspector Goole, arrives and completely alters the situation, by forcing all the characters to examine their own consciences, which leads to a dramatic ending. The play is structured This makes him similar in many respects to Eva Smith. She fell totally in love with him, however she did not expect the affair to last. Eric Birling is a character that one begins to feel sorry
What is the connection of the main characters to Eva smith’s / Daisy Renton’s Suicide?
What is the connection of the main characters to Eva smith's / Daisy Renton's Suicide? There are a number of people who contributed to Eva Smiths death each on pushed her closer and closer to her suicide. There is no reason why any one of the characters is soley the blame. It was not only the characters that contributed to her death either, it was the way her life never seemed to workout and her social wellbeing. No matter how hard she tried her life was never stable. Her life was a constant downfall that eventually got the better of her, she then gave in and decided that her life wasn't worth living if it was going to be constantly failing so she ended her life. The first person that we are lead to have started the downfall or chain of events that lead to Eva Smith's suicide is Mr Arthur Birling. Mr Birling was a rich man and only seemed to care about his family and how well his business was going. He didn't know any of his workers personally not even Eva Smith until after the strike. The strike occurred when the workers were returning from holidays and were very restless and decided to request a pay rise or they would go on strike. Mr Birling denied their request and they didn't return to work for awhile until they began needing money and begged for their jobs back. Mr Birling let them come back, however he stacked the ringleaders, Eva Smith was one of them. Eva
How does J.B. Priestley use Eva Smith/ Daisy Renton as a dramatic device in An Inspector calls?
How does J.B. Priestley use Eva Smith/ Daisy Renton as a dramatic device in 'An Inspector calls'? 'An Inspector calls' is a play about the evil found within us all. This is brought out in the Birling family and Mr. Croft; by the main character 'ES/DR' a young girl who shared experiences with all of the other characters. Although she is never seen and has no lines she is fundamental to the plot line and links all the characters. Throughout the play Eva Smith/ Daisy is a faceless character. We are never fully shown who she actually is only hearing about fragments of her life, this adds further mystery to the story and makes you visualise for yourself. This engages the observer as they are made to use imagination and therefore feel part of the tale. Keeping her an unknown character also allows J.B. Priestley to let the story unfold at a controlled pace. As each of the characters has their own stories about their brief encounter with the woman it means her characteristics can be revealed at different times. The fact her death was a suicide makes the play intriguing and we see her in a very different way than if she was still alive, she instantly becomes an embodiment of weakness and we show unconditional sympathy towards her. It also magnifies the significance of the family and Croft's actions and we view them as responsible for her death instead of herself. It also shakes the
Visionary Characters in late 19th Century American Literature: Henry Jamess Daisy Miller & Edna Pointellier of Kate Chopins The Awakening
Visionary Characters in late 19th Century American Literature: Henry James's "Daisy Miller" & Edna Pointellier of Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" Alexandria Doran ENG2042: Survey of American Lit II Professor James Tate Spring 2005 - Midterm Two seemingly disturbing novellas, Henry James' Daisy Miller and Kate Chopin's The Awakening, are really rather the opposite; they are encouraging portraits of the new American woman. Embedded in both stories are the controversies that crossed classes and cultures in the Late Nineteenth Century and the seemingly small characters emerge as larger than life heroines as a result if their struggles. True to the Realism and Naturalism many writers chose as the genre for their medium, Daisy Miller and Edna Pointellier expose the vulnerability and oppression of ordinary life for American women at home and abroad. In the end we remember that these fearless spirited women broke the rules at all costs, in order to find and be themselves. The rise of Realism can be attributed to the need to capture, report, and interpret the changing face of America. Cities were developing rapidly as was the new American culture. The close of the Civil War in 1865 affected various elements of American society: conflicts such as the ethical need to abolish slavery and giving black people the right to be full citizens were undoubtedly a sore subject and

Gerald Croft tells the Inspector about his kindness to Daisy Renton. Is he kind to her, in your opinion, here and later in their relationship?
Gerald Croft tells the Inspector about his kindness to Daisy Renton. Is he kind to her, in your opinion, here and later in their relationship? J.B. Priestley wrote 'An Inspector Calls' in 1945. The story is actually set in 1912 and is a comment on middle class morality. The audience is made to examine not only the morals of the characters, but of themselves too. Gerald Croft is the son of Birling's rival industrialist, Sir George Croft. He is engaged to marry Mr Birling's daughter, Sheila. On the surface this play appears to be a simple detective thriller with Gerald Croft being a well-mannered, likeable young man, yet as the play progresses this appearance is questioned. Inspector Goole uncovers the truth that Gerald had an affair last year with a working class girl whilst he was in a relationship with Sheila Birling. Gerald Croft had a kind heart but his weak principles overruled his good intentions so he didn't help Daisy Renton in the best way. Gerald was unkind to Daisy Renton because he used her for his own benefits. When he first met her, he saves her from the awkward situation with Alderman Meggarty and sets out to help her, which suggests that he had a kind nature to begin with. However, weak morals dilute, his good intentions. He had found Daisy attractive from the start, and he had allowed his feelings to develop. He felt affection for her but admits that her
With Brief Reference To Each Character’s Part In Eva Smith’s/ Daisy Renton’s Tragedy, Discuss The Degree Of Responsibility Each Should Bear.
With Brief Reference To Each Character's Part In Eva Smith's/ Daisy Renton's Tragedy, Discuss The Degree Of Responsibility Each Should Bear. Although each member of the Birling family and Gerald Croft have had contact with Eva Smith/Daisy Renton during the previous two years, none of them is aware of the others' involvement in the tragedy until the day of the inspector's visit. He makes them aware of the part they have played in her tragic end. The characters each react differently to the news and to the degree of responsibility, which they should bear. The first person to have contact with Eva was Arthur Birling. He had employed her at his works until September 1910. At first when the inspector had asked him about Eva he couldn't remember her until the inspector showed him a photograph of her. He then remembered her and explained about his involvement. Eva had been involved in a dispute over low wages and because she had been one of the ringleaders in the strike, he had dismissed her. When told of the consequences of his actions, that Eva was out of work for two months and desperate for money, Arthur Birling showed no remorse. He explained that: "The girl had been causing trouble in the works. I was quite justified." Gerald Croft backed him up whereas Sheila and Eric disapproved. Arthur Birling resents being challenged by the inspector and especially resents the
