ll find her own sweet name, that nestling lies Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader. Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure Divine—a talisman—an amulet That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure— The words—the syllables! Do not forget The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor And yet there is in this no Gordian knot Which one might not undo without a sabre, If one could merely comprehend the plot. Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing Of poets, by poets—as the name is a poet's, too, Its letters, although naturally lying Like the knight Pinto—Mendez Ferdinando— Still form a synonym for Truth—Cease trying!

In the phrase, "eyes scintillating soul"  <u>alliteration</u> is the literary device which has been used.

Alliteration is a literary device in which words with the same consonant sound or syllable occur. It gives a poem a different and a unique rhythm. Alliteration is a special case of consonance when the consonant sound of the stressed syllable is repeated. In the phrase "eyes scintillating soul" the sound 's' has been repeated in the words 'eyes,' 'scintillating' and 'soul.'

Answer:

Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby

Explanation:

Nick Carraway

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.

Tom Buchanan

Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family, Tom is an arrogant, hypocritical bully. His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him.

jay gatsby

Gatsby is a dreamer, constantly envisioning a better future for himself and focusing on what is possible, rather than what is practical. Like many Intuitive personalities, he often seems somewhat distracted or detached from what's happening around him.
