Enduring Love or Possessive Love? Enduring Love opens up with a visual opening of a freak-like accident occurring to rescue a boy from a hot air balloon. This event serves as a symbol to the righteous postmodern novel. I plan to demonstrate how McEwan presents obsession in Enduring Love for an audience of classmates that seems to be for people as a form of truth if confronted by a distressing situation. McEwan centers the book on a real mental condition called De Clerambault’s Syndrome‚ which

How does Hosseini tell the story in chapter 17? Chapter 17 is potentially the most important chapter in the novel for structuring the shape of the narrative and may be seen as the turning point in the novel.

How does the writer show an arresting opening in ‘Enduring Love’ The starting of Enduring Love starts of relatively calm‚ Joe and Clarissa are sat “under a turkey oak” whilst enjoying a picnic and a bottle of “1987 Daumas Gassac” in a pastoral scenery. However this is just to start the story as a traditional Once upon a time story‚ to give the illusion that all is good. What we don’t know that the information given in the first line creates a sense of foreboding‚ with “Given” information‚ as

Chapter 17 describes the final breakdown of Joe and Clarissa’s relationship and marks the point in the narrative in which Joe’s isolation from those around him seems complete. McEwan contradicts ensuing events by first placing Joe and Clarissa into an intimate late-night setting‚ implying that there will be a reconciliation between the two; ‘we were lying face to face in bed‚ as if nothing was wrong’. The language used here by Joe is also misleading-creating rich imagery and an atmosphere of emotion

anticlimaxes in Enduring Love Another climax begins at the end of chapter 21 with a phone call between Jed and Joe “I’m putting her on‚ OK? Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” Here McEwan uses juxtaposition of beginning an event within the formal closure of a chapter. The effect of this adds suspense to the novel as a whole as it wills the reader to follow the chain of events. Also‚ the panicked dialogue of “Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” heightens the climax by leaving it unresolved. McEwan continually

numbers and language like "weight" help him not only calm himself down‚ but convince the readers that he’s in control of his own situation. On the other hand‚ Joe seems to go off into panicked monologues such as the one at the top of page 47. Here‚ McEwan uses short sentences‚ but the meaning and effect created is completely different. They create a sense of panic and turbulence. The sentences increase the pace of the reading‚ and seem to be erratic and uncorrelated‚ representing Joe’s thoughts.
