What are some examples of synecdoche in The Great Gatsby?

English
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago
5 0

What about Owl-Eyes who acts as the enhancement to the occular imagery in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"? 

Having no real name, this character of synedoche acts as the eyes that perceive the truth about Gatsby.  For instance, when he is in the library at Gatsby's house during a party, he is surprised that the books are real and bound in real leather with actual pages; he has suspected that they, like Gatsby, would merely have the appearance of being genuine.  Also, in the last chapter, Owl Eyes is the only one of the party group to attend the funeral for Gatsby because, as he come "splashing" after Nick and Mr. Gatsby, he wants to meet the father and learn more about Jay Gatsby.  When he talks to Nick after the funeral, he remarks,

<span>'I couldn't get to the house.''Neither could anybody else.''Go on'...Why my God! they used to go there by the hundreds.'
</span>

Like the billboard that sits overlooking the Valley of Ashes, Owl Eyes sees and understands all.

Helena expresses jealousy because she wants to catch Demetrius' eyes. Instead, she realizes that Demetrius' is in love with Hermia because of her dreamy eyes


2. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?

- METAPHOR

Based on the lines, metaphor was used because Helena's character wishes to follow Demetrius likened to a dog (spaniel). Just like a dog, even if the master hurts or hits him, he will still remain loyal and true. Just like Helena's devotion to Demetrius.


3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.


4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.


5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.
