This is significant in that it shows the difference in Hassan and Amir. Hassan brave while Amir is weak and scared. In the memory, Hassan allows the fortuneteller to take his hand while Amir, in fear, does not, “the old man reach[ed] for my hand and I withdrew it.” These memories suggests about Amir feelings that he is in a state of panic and confusion where he does not know what to do. The memories might also suggest that the rape scene overwhelmed him with fear and represented a true moment where Amir became a coward. Most of all, however, the memories demonstrate Amir’s emotional dissociation during the rape.
This shows the changeable psychology of the murderer, most probably because of the mental “disease” he mentioned in the beginning of the story (line 2). However, it is clear that he denies and/or ignores this disease in every aspect and tries to proof that it is a positive part of him. (Line 2: “the disease had sharpened my senses”, Line 21: “would a madman have been so wise as this?, Line 31: “…the extent of my own powers, my sagacity”) The eighth night was the time, when the narrator sees the old man’s evil eye wide open, and decides to go into action.

I personally agree with Nabokov’s theory about good readers. If we don’t detach ourselves a little from the story we will be too blinded by our emotions to appreciate the real art of the story. A good reader needs a great writer and vice versa. A good reader must comprehend the story through the proper use of his imagination, memory, and artistic sense. Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together.
With the use of Nick’s commentary on various snippets of speech telling how the butler ‘roared’ this also makes it clear to the reader the significance of the tragic events which will be the downfall of Gatsby’s character. The current events shaping Gatsby’s future are seemed to be ever so significant due to the choice of Fitzgerald not to include any of Gatsby’s history in to this chapter. A clever technique used by Fitzgerald is the voice of Michaelis who describes Myrtle’s death bluntly, yet lacking the emotion. Nick claims ‘so we drove on towards death’ which coherently shows that the immediate events following this chapter will lead to death, but also releasing all tensions built up between the characters at the beginning of the narrative. In my opinion, this particular chapter lacks chronology to add to the disjointed nature of Myrtle’s death.

Why must attention be paid? Since the play's debut, amazingly over 50 years ago now, that has been the central question : must we pay attention to the demise of Willy Loman? Even Willy's name seems to be a gauntlet thrown down in the face of the critics. Where traditional tragedy deals with the high born, the fall of royalty, Arthur Miller quite consciously structures his drama around the fall of a lowly man, a two-bit salesman. But the answer to the question, as is so often the case, is all in how you ask it.
