    • Binary Oppoisites - Rationality / Irrationality
    • Vivid and graphical imagery - "the bullet was barely visible, sunk two inches into the smooth bark"
    • Binary Opposites - Human morality and human immorality (the gun reflect immorality) Joe struggles to see what is moral and what isnt, this is evident in chapter 20 where he tries to persuade himself about drinking etc.

      • The use of sign is a reflection of Parry's influence on Joe, especially through symbols and motifs (i.e the curtain and the window etc
  • Binary Oppoisites - Rationality / Irrationality
