How does Fitzgerald tell the story in chapter 6 of The Great Gatsby?
Fitzgerald wonts Nick to introduce the readers to the evolution of pack Gatz to Gatsby. Straight away Nick is telling the story in retrospect, once again which is an indication that the record is based more on his thoughts and interpretations than facts meaning his reliability cant always be trusted, and starts the chapter rough Gatsby straight away and how there is an ambitious young reporter on his day off to scruple Gatsby. He is there to gain information from Gatsby somewhat the rumours of him being a German Nazi and his popularity all over the recent summer. This is actually a use of foreshadowing because they are not there for Gatsby but to motion his accepted hospitality which is posterior seen in chapter 9 where people gather to reveal information slightly the madman Wilson and the death of Gatsby, not actually Gatsby himself, just the role he plays.This chapter is not told in chronological order, due to Nick admitting he tells the anecdote of Gatsbys past, first a nd Gatsby told me all this very much later which means Fitzgerald decided to show the reader of Gatsbys past of unsuccessful farm people to another(prenominal) lavish grammatical constituenty Gatsby throws so the reader understand how he got from point A to B. This is overly part of Nicks manipulating narrative because we are told how Gatsby didnt vanquish it (the gold from Dan Cody) which paints Gatsby is a good inflammation because he built up his own wealth from not wanting to be a janitor anymore. However, its also the work of Tom do we understand Gatsby and Nick arent being completely open about his wealth because Tom suddenly suggests Gatsby is a bootlegger meaning Nick starts the chapter with an anecdote of Gatsbys valiant attempt to save Dan Codys yacht but refuses the admit he then later created his money from illegal behaviour.The main setting of chapter 6 is Gatsby house. However, its seen at day time and night. In the day time we see how Gatsby has guests who includ e Tom Buchanan are ready to leave. They invite Gatsby but end up leaving without him. This shows how Gatsby isnt really anyones friend and that people really do use him for his hospitality not friendship. This shows how twilight contrasts against the Sunday subsequentlynoon to show how Gatsby is polite and welcomes people into his home but no one will repay the favour. This, however, could be another manipulation made by Nick to get sympathy for Gatsby because this is all told in retrospect meaning when we hear how, in chapter 9, that Nick is on Gatsby fount and all alone he could be using previous chapters, like 6, to manipulate the past.Fitzgerald also uses motifs and blazon to tell the story in chapter 6. This is conspicuous when Daisy says to Nick, present a green card. Im prominent out green-. This is to show mouldy love because Daisy had previously said if you want to kiss me which Nick would not want to do because he does not love Daisy, meaning the green card is a missi on of mouldy love. However, it must not be forgotten that Gatsby looks at the dock for the green light in the first place reuniting with Daisy, which could be a suggestion from Fitzgerald to show how Gatsbys and Daisys love has expired over the 5 years next November yet both of them are unable to admit it. This is also a use of foreshadowing because green can also represent freedom, freedom is actually what Tom and Daisy always take care to convey after something has gone wrong, meaning that they are able to move on swiftly after events, such as Gatsby and Myrtles death.
