Good Vs. Immediately before this we are told (p. 130): Though, it seems, Pinkie is occasionally (if briefly) able to leave Brighton, Brighton cannot be taken out of him. The sea moves in and out relentlessly. Questions may be very open, leaving you to supply your own agenda or plan (quite hard) or may indicate an outline to follow. The comparison is interesting, as it is meant to give an insight into Pinkie's fear of Rose's attitude. We learn that some rock is for sale cheaply because it has been broken (in the kiosk) by "some clumsy fools" (Pinkie and his gang, with Hale). We know that Pinkie and his gang believe they have killed him, yet are puzzled by the different conclusion of the coroner. Look out for other occasions where cars are used to suggest Pinkie's poverty and the luxury of others' lives. God couldn’t escape the evil mouth which chose to eat its own damnation. (p. 228) But as he looks back on his brief courtship of Rose, Pinkie has his chance. ...Spicer should be respectful. The reader sees that Pinkie is like Faustus: he has tried to make a deal, accepting his own damnation, in return for some advantage in this world. There may be heaven though he can form no idea of it; but he has a vivid idea of hell: "Of course there's Hell. As she looks at Maisie on the other side of Snow's window (p. 194), she cannot return to the "Eden of ignorance".

That’s what she talks about. The promenade and the piers, dedicated to amusement, parting people from small amounts of money saved, patiently, from what they have earned through real work are artificial, a veneer on reality, as it were. For the crowds of holiday-makers or day-trippers on bank-holidays they are a delightful illusion of the good life: Greene indicates here how the crowd almost force themselves into a sense of enjoyment, as this is the only diversion they can know. Giving access to thoughts, with explanatory comment, Greene enables the reader to achieve imaginative sympathy with characters (Pinkie, Rose, Ida) whose views the author in no sense endorses. Behind this question (impossible to answer certainly) lie many other questions: is the novelist merely documenting typical events naturalistically (what you mean when you say realistically) or is he trying to interpret/ make sense of the world by means of fiction? 2 Analysis 2.1 Pinkie’s View of the World. Growing more furious,

...chat. They are also connected with a series of references to seeing or not seeing: Pinkie twice rebukes others for failing to see (first, literally, and later, speaking to Dallow about hell, metaphorically), we (twice) meet a blind band, Prewitt wants to act "like Samson" and sees his wife as a "mole" (p. 210), while even the name of Nelson Place suggests partial blindness or wilful failure to see the enemy (as Nelson did at Copenhagen by placing his telescope against his blind eye). His death is presented very much as the action of supernatural punishment: "it was as if the flames had literally got him" (the burning of the vitriol anticipating and becoming a metaphor for the hell-fire which Pinkie is about to meet). We are today quite familiar with the idea of the car as status symbol (indeed, the motif may now be too trite for a self-conscious writer to use it) but the contrast between the gang's Morris, rarely parted from the epithet "battered" and the "scarlet racing model" in which Ida cadges a lift, the sports car of which the wealthy young man boasts to his friend (p. 237) or the limousines which may or may not be driven by Colleoni, is made explicit by Sylvie, who describes the Morris as "no good to us", tries a Ford and finds it occupied, but cries (on finding one) "I love a Lancia", pulling up her skirt to show the truth of her remark (p. 134). The party wall is so thin, there is non-stop noise from the neighbour's radio. Rose is more impoverished of character and experience even than Pinkie, so that he appears to her as glamorous. A good Catholic, Rose seems to represent Pinkie’s lost innocence. Pinkie is also facing challenges from Colleoni, the wealthy new mob boss in Brighton.
