Amy In The Enraptures
“We weren’t ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves - surprise! – we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way.” Amy (Rosamund Pike) and Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) were the perfect couple to those whom saw them, although their facades soon dissipates as Amy tries to have Nick framed for her murder in Gillian Flynn’s top seller and movie Gone Girl. The movie enraptures the audience by the seething resentfulness and the revenge obsession that occurs between Nick and Amy which shows strengths and weaknesses throughout the entire movie.
Furthermore, Amy manipulates and denigrates Nick, telling him “without her, he wouldn’t be a man.” Though out the movie the character development in both characters

    Nick fails to accomplish his dream of fitting into the upper social class because he can’t seem to realize that people are flawed. This is shown when Nick states, “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money and vast carelessness” (Fitzgerald 187-8). Disgusted by their behavior, Nick begins…

    On page 64 he says, "But I am slow thinking and full of interior rules that act as they brakes on my desires, and I knew that first I had to get myself out of that tangle back home. I'd been writing letters once a week and signing them 'love, Nick,' and all I could think of was how when a certain girl played tennis, a faint moustache appeared on her upper lip. Nevertheless there was a vague understanding that had to be tactfully broken off before I was free." Nick goes by the emotions he has by the moment. He does not know what commitment is. He 'loved' this girl back home, but as soon as he found someone else attractive he suddenly forgot what made him love the girl back home. Now she would only get in the way of love. This proves love to Nick is only a possession, and when he did not have his possession with him, he found a replacement. It did not even matter to him that Miss Baker was dishonest and immoral. He was dishonest and shallow, but no different than anyone else during this…

    One thing left out of the film was Jordan Baker’s romance, or fling, with Nick. Really, the audience never gets to know Jordan’s character, which might make her more likeable. In the novel she is dishonest, but the film did not really portray that, much less the romance between her and Nick. Though they always seemed to find each other, their feelings were not as obvious as in the novel, which could partially result in the fact that the book was told by Nick and the film was not.…

    In the beginning of the book, he views her as a cool woman with much underneath the surface. He begins to admire her for her athleticism, her looks, and her personality, which Nick learns is not the personality for him. Towards the end of the book, Nick is confronted by Jordan after they had broken up and she tells him that she is engaged with another man, which Nick doubts. He doubts this because of Jordan’s ability to toy with the feelings of others, especially other single men. She plays with the feelings of men, while having no intention of getting involved in a relationship. This is confirmed when Nick sees her and describes her as having “her chin raised a little jauntily”, which again symbolizes her arrogance (177). Nick views her as a self centered person with a peculiar sense about her, for example when he first sees her wearing a white dress indoors for what seemed like a long time. Finally, Nick finds the errors of his ways and breaks it off with Jordan, ending the damaging toll the relationship had upon Nick’s mental well being. Nick does not recognize her arrogant personality, something he can’t handle, nor does he want to attempt to handle. Early in the story Nick is captured and somewhat intimidated by Jordan but as he begins to understand her true personality, he sees how different she actually…

    Nick is not always as forgiving and understanding as he claims in the beginning of the novel, however. There are times, although only a few, when Nick is judgemental towards others. One quote stands out as a popular, recognizable line that Nick says on page 160. “‘They're a rotten crowd,’ I shouted across the lawn. ‘You're worth the whole damn bunch put together’” (Fitzgerald 160). This quote is an…
