Fitzgerald uses white to represent purity and innocence and the figures of speech give the passage a light mood along with the image of floating girls.
<h3>Analyzing the passage from "The Great Gatsby"</h3>
We can develop the answer and analyze the passage as follows:
- Fitzgerald uses color to represent different feelings. In the passage, he uses white to convey a sense of purity and innocence, as if the narrator is entering heaven.
- He uses simile in "like pale flags" and metaphor in "the frosted-cake of the ceiling." "The whip and snap of the curtains" is an onomatopoeia, representing sound. Such figures of speech give the passage a light and vivacious mood.
- One image that is quite appealing is that of the girls being balloons, floating around the house and then slowly coming back to the floor. This image conveys a sense of joy and wonder, as if there is something magical about those girls.
- A sound that would fit the situation is "whoosh" because of the wind coming in through the windows and moving everything around the room.
