The Great Gatsby chapters 8 & 9

Chapter 8.

Narative Style.
At the beginning of this chapter nick goes to see Gatsby, we are not really told the exact reason why because Nick doesn't really know himself. We also learn about Gatsby and Daisys intimate past with one another. Its quite weird really because we read alot of Gatsby's memories but these memories are shown still through Nicks prospectus. I dont really understand this because it seems quite odd because i dont get how exactly Gatsby's memories could be shown through nick. another key point of this chapter is that Gatsby get murdered by Wilson.


Characters/Characterisation.
Nick,Daisy,Mavromichealis,Gatsby and Wilson are the key characters throughout this chapter. We dont really find out a whole lot about most of the characters apart from Wilson really who took it upon himself to kill Gatsby on his own understanding that Gatsby killed his wife. This shows Wilson to jump the gun, his personality is to act before he thinks. It shows that the Buchanas were prepared to lie this is very slfish because Gatsby who was undoubtfully inocent is now dead and they are left to carry on with their lives.

Themes.
Love, Revenge, are shown as key themes in this chapter. Love because Gatsby waits outside Daisy's house to make sure she is okay. Revenge obviously because of Wilson murdering Gatsby.

Settings.
The key setting for this chapter is at Gatsby's house where Gatsby gets quite emotional is seems whilst he talks to Nick about the love he feels for Daisy.

Ideology.
I think the ideology in this chapter has something to do with trust and also not to act before you think. this is obviously put across because of Wilson not thinking about what he was doing. i think had he have thought about it he may have realise that he was not driving the car that killed myrtle.

Chapter 9.

Narative Style.
The last chapter focuses mainly on the death of Gatsby and how is has an effect on both the characters and the novel itself. Nick comes across as rather angry or frustrated concerning the amount of people who turned up to Gatsby's funeral. Naturally he thought that more people would have turned up considering the amount of people who turned up to his parties. There appears to be nobody who is bothered about his death atall.

Characters/Characterisation
In this chapter we are introduced to Mr.Gatz Gatsby's father. who seems proud of his son and repects his wishes because Mr.Gatz talks about Gatsby clearly prefuring the east also he shares some of his sons life plans with Nick.

Themes.
Greif, simply because of the death of Gatsby. this greif is clearly shown through Mr.Gatz because it his his soon who has been murdered.

Setting.
It is extremly hard to keep track of the setting in this chapter because of the fact that Nick is never in the same place. at some points he is at the gatsby household and at others he is at the funeral.

Ideology.
The ideology in this chapter is simply that life is too short. It can be taken from you as easily as it is given. because of this you should live your life to the full and treat everyday as your last.
Also the fact that you should never try to be something that your not and if somebody says you are not good enough for you that better yourself and move on.
