The quotes also build a sense of gothic atmosphere. The language used in many of the quotes is old - fashioned and somewhat archaic, which is typical of gothic literature. For instance, when the novel talks about the Szekelys and their proud heritage with quotes like 'We Szekelys have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights, for lordship', it adds to the gothic feel. The reference to noble and ancient lineages, along with the somewhat dark and brooding undertones, all contribute to the overall gothic mood of the novel.
The quotes contribute to the overall mood by creating a sense of horror. For example, when Dracula says 'Listen to them - the children of the night. What music they make!', it makes the night seem full of unknown and menacing entities. The use of words like 'children of the night' gives a feeling of something otherworldly and dangerous.
The quotes contribute to the overall mood by being dark and often foreboding. For example, 'Sometimes, dead is better' immediately creates a sense of unease and dread. It makes the reader aware that there is something very wrong about the events in the story.
The quotes contribute to a warm mood. For example, if there are quotes about family gatherings, it makes the mood cozy.
Richie's quotes add a sense of humor. For example, his silly self - references and comical remarks lighten the mood in the midst of the horror. It's like a brief respite from the scares.
It creates an instant mood. If it's dark or mysterious, it sets the mood for the whole story.
The settings can directly create the mood. For example, a dark, spooky forest in a horror novel immediately sets a scary mood.
The quotes that describe Gatsby, such as 'He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it...' contribute to building his character. His charm as described in the quote is part of what makes him so fascinating to the other characters and to the readers. It also sets up his tragic downfall as his charm can't ultimately save him from the reality of his situation.
Quotes also contribute to the theme of friendship. 'We're all we've got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don't have each other, we don't have anything.' This quote shows how important friendship is among the Greasers, and it's a central part of the overall theme of the novel.
Quotes in a novel can directly state important themes. For example, in '1984' by George Orwell, the quote 'War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.' sums up the dystopian world's warped logic. They can also introduce characters. A character's unique way of speaking in quotes can give readers a quick sense of who they are.
Quotes are like signposts in novels. In 'The Catcher in the Rye' with Holden's 'I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff.' It gives a sense of Holden's protective and somewhat lost nature, and it ties into the overall theme of the loss of innocence and the search for meaning in a confusing world.
The lines contribute a lot. For example, humorous lines like 'You'll shoot your eye out!' add a light - hearted and comical mood. It makes the story more enjoyable and family - friendly.
