Chapter VII Pgs: 59-71
This chapter starts right off with an [ANAPHORA] “I don’t know. He was never here before. He was very large. Very, very large. She was very nice. Very, very nice.” (59) This anaphora helps convey the writers point. However, this anaphora also serves almost as a form of analogy. The concierge, who is the one speaking, compares her opinion of how nice she thinks Brett is to the physical largeness of the Count. The size of the count is not debatable however “large” he really is. This comparison gives the normally somewhat ambiguous word “very” some sort of scope.
