According to the dictionary, clanging refers to a mode of speech characterized by association of words based upon sound rather than concepts; and glaring to something that is shining intensely and blindingly.

So we can say that "The connotations of clanging and glaring suggest that the city is <u>in a chaos.</u>

I would say that the city is busy, populous, modern, yet devoid of humanity, the author seems to suggest. "Clanging" evokes a loud sound, coming, perhaps, from a streetcar, or a crowded street, whereas "glaring" evokes an intense, almost blinding, light, which might come from the marquee of a theater or the window of a fancy store. Yet, this abundance of light, the author ponders, which could seemingly equal progress, prosperity, and happiness, is bringing people neither joy nor pride or freedom. Hence her relief when she leaves the city behind and arrives to the familiarity and the humanity of her home.

Why does Gothic literature focus on the past? What effect does this have?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The term Gothic originates with the architecture created by the Germanic Goth tribes that was later expanded to include most medieval architecture. Ornate, intricate, and heavy-handed, this style of architecture proved to be the ideal backdrop for both the physical and the psychological settings in a new literary genre, one that concerned itself with elaborate tales of mystery, suspense, and superstition. While there are several notable precursors, the height of the Gothic period, which was closely aligned with Romanticism, is usually considered to have been the years 1764 to about 1840, however, its influence extends to 20th-century authors such as V.C. Andrews, Iain Banks, and Anne Rice.
