Even with that Nick still gets caught up in his lies which makes him look like a suspect. Gillian Flynn wasn't scared to acknowledge the "ugly side" when mentioning about having female villains.

She said she's " grown quite weary of spunky heroines , brace rape victims, soul searching fashionistas." She also mourns the lack of female villains and that's where Amy comes in .]]> 2017-07-31 00:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727634 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727657 2017-07-31 00:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727657 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727876 interesting that Amy was created with the idea of a female villain in mind - "I particularly mourn the lack of female villains." The author was sick of never seeing a bad, dislikeable female character - not every female is kind and nurturing and spunky, and the representation of every women as such is almost misogyny in itself. It doesn't give women the freedom to be themselves and be represented as someone different]]> 2017-07-31 00:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727876 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179727901 This is the authors intention throughout the book which is highlighted by the various turns the book takes and the fact that Amy is a completely different person from who she originally portrays herself as.

"He is not morning, so he must be a sociopath" this quote relates back to Nick and evryday life. What should someone be doing in the eyes of the media, and make themselves not look like a sociopath. Is it better to give the media what they want or be a sociopath by doing what you normally do. Either way you. Are. A.

When compared it is the same when Nick finds out that Amy is a psycho bitch, planning to kill him at any given moment when she doesn't get her way. It's an odd way of relating to the character... they are both pretty much insane. ]]> 2017-07-31 00:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728104 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728201 Gone girl is the portrayal of a relationship gone badly wrong.]]> 2017-07-31 00:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728201 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728238 Gillian Flynn got her passion for horror from her father as she said "I watched Psycho a million times." She has been brought up learning about horror. She also talks about "not quite being confortable in your own skin." So it would be expected that she'd write a book about Gone Girl who has a psycho girl in it called Amy. ]]> 2017-07-31 00:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728238 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728281 Making the scary part of it not a serial killer or something like that but instead is "that psychological mind-place" where you can't feel comfortable in your own skin let alone your own house, in some way making you feel uncomfortable but you can't quite place your finger on it.]]> 2017-07-31 00:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728281 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728295 Gone girl, that has been read by millions across the globe has affected relationships and marriages in real life; such as Flynn's cousin who thought that her husband was plotting to kill her on a luxury holiday. ]]> 2017-07-31 00:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728295 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728501 Flynn uses life experience and inner conscience to create the world which Gone Girl is based off of. ]]> 2017-07-31 01:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728501 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728522 "for me suspense is always harder and better than going for the, outright scare, Whats scary is that psychological mind place: not the serial killer roaming around otside,but that sense of not quite being comfortable in your own skin- being in your own home but not being safe, and not being entirely able to figure out why you feel that way."
This quote relates to the fear that is brought upon nick during the book. His life is not really in direct threat but he definitely feels unsafe and one step behind for most of the book. Also this is relatable to the fear diary Amy uses to her advantage (for when the diary is found)]]> 2017-07-31 01:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728522 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728544 " a husbands reaction to the disappearance of his wife isnt that of a murderer, but neither is it quite what you would expect fromfrom a distressed partner" Nick said what he thought the cops and the media wanted to hear. ]]> 2017-07-31 01:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728544 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728563 constantly throughout the novel, Nick and Amy wanted each other to mindread  their thoughts, especially Amy where she desperately wants Nick to understand her feelings and actions wholeheartedly. She thinks she understands Nick, knows him inside out but Nick and Amy in reality don't ever know what each other are exactly thinking about. Being newly wed meant that she did a lot of thinking of what marriage was, and this was one of her conclusions. ]]> 2017-07-31 01:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728563 https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728716 It is Seen As Mysoginistic To Say women Have a Bad Side]]> 2017-07-31 01:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hatcherd/guardianpadlet/wish/179728716
