A few oppositions I found in the text are that Nicole Diver and Dick Diver come from different worlds. Nicole grew up living a luxurious life while Mr. Diver grew up poor. Nicole inherited her money and married Dick Diver. They live a luxurious life and are strongly admired by everyone. Nicole wants to be accepted for who she is and Mr. Diver would do anything to uphold his reputation. Nicole was a very weak character in the beginning of the book. She was self-conscious and felt unloved. She always felt like she was never good enough. Meanwhile, Dick Diver was a very strong character in the beginning of the book. He was very confident and admired and loved by all of his friends. In the end of the book Nicole and Dick Diver completely switched. Nicole became the strong one and Dick Diver became weak. Nicole worked up the courage to leave Mr. Diver for another man who truly loved her. Mr. Diver was left alone by the end of the book. His world came crashing down and that is what lead to his fall in the book. |
