Through this passage, Fitzgerald conveys two pieces of important information:
One is the geographic context in which the story will take place. Nick's house and Gatsby's mansion on the West Egg.
And the other is the image of Gatsby that the mansion produces on the reader. The house is enormous and ostentatious, an imitation of French architecture, made of ivy and marble, with great gardens and a pool. With the description of the mansion, Fitzgerald manages to provide important information about Gatsby: he is clearly new money and he seeks to impress his neighbours and friends with it.
Answer:
Crucible is a famous drama by Arthur Miller.
Explanation:
- Inspired by true events from the late 17th century in Salem, a place in Massachusetts that became known precisely for witch-hunting and their public trial, Miller wrote <em>Crucible</em> in the early 1950s.
- But the author is actually talking about the phenomenon of mass hysteria that plagued American society during the "McCarthy" era (Joseph Raymond McCarthy), when a secret investigation into a large number of government members suspected of spying on behalf of the Communists was launched in the United States.
- Miller noted the similarity between that event and the Salem witch hunt.
- In doing so, this story acquires deeper meanings, expressing the intolerance, blindness, and persecution of people, ideas, at any given time.
- The writer has sharply attacked McCarthy, as an idiot who is chasing honest Americans because they have a different opinion from the senator.
