What I see in literature

Bias- "your wife doesn't love you", said gatsby quietly,  she never loved you".
Gatsby is convincing Daisy and influencing her words to Tom.


Personification- " the late afternoon sky bloomed in the window for a moment"
The sky doesn't actually bloom like a flower, it tells us the time that is setting


Irony- "neither of them can stand the person they're married to".
Tom and Myrtle are two married persons that don't love each other. They are also both very unhappy.

Metaphor-  green light
The green light represents Gatsby dream and it represents the society desire and the impossibility of achieving the "American dream"


Simile- "the fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges".
This is setting the mood, it talks about the alley of ashes between west egg and New York. It creates a grim mood.
