- The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.
- Nick not only tells the readers what has happened but continually suggests how they should feel about what is happening. He does this mainly by expressing how he feels himself. This seems to be Fitzgerald's main reason for using Nick as a minor-character narrator.
- The majority position is the traditional one: Nick is considered quite reliable, basically honest, and ultimately changed by his contact with Gatsby. ... The critical controversy merits a brief return to the text as our final understanding of Gatsby is almost entirely dependent upon the reliability of Carraway's narration.
- She tells Nick that when her daughter was born, she told the nurse: “I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” ● Pages 21-23: Nick and Daisy return inside oh, and the group says their goodnights. that is how he recognized her.
When Nick says “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” he is saying that everyone falls into one of those categories. The pursued are men like Gatsby who everyone is after, people who there are always interest. Jordan would also fall into this category.
Answer:
Two statements that best express the major themes of the short story "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston are options -
D. The consequences of people’s actions eventually catch up with them,
and
E. Compassion has its limits and can vanish as a result of abuse.
Explanation:
It’s true that the consequences of one’s actions eventually catch up with him/her. Sykes got a snake to drive Delia out of the house but things ended up the other way round. The snake got out and bit Sykes which eventually killed him.
This is also true that compassion has its own limits and abuse can abolish it. Delia was compassionate towards Sykes. But it is worn out due to years of abuse. The men sitting outside the store always spoke of how Sykes' abuse had changed Delia who was once the most beautiful girl in town. It’s seen at the end of the story that Delia had no compassion for Sykes and therefore, she didn’t help him when he was dying.
