Details and Lying that was presented in Gone Girl By Gillian Flynn
Details in the Novel
Amy's disappearance
The treasure hunt clues and the items to go with them.
The Punch and Judy dolls with the missing club piece.
The credit card items in the woodshed.
The woman's panties in Nick's office.
Every clue led to a place where Nick had relations with Andie.
Faking her pregnancy so that when the public found out about her being pregnant, they would hate Nick even more.
Withdrawing money in little amounts for almost a year before she disappeared.
Buying a car in cash far away from their home, so no one would see her buy it.
Her fake fear of blood since the time her and Nick got married to make it look normal and not suspicious for when she disappeared.
The fake diaries for about 10 years.
Amy wrote about Nick in her diary and things that would make the police believe that he had something to do with her disappearance.
Nick's case
When Nick was working with Tanner Bolt and Sharon Schieber, we learned many things that Nick needed to remember in order to keep a good case and stop the police from finding more information to go against Nick
Amy's diary and everything she wrote about Nick and the things she said he did to her
They must stay ahead of the public and the police when it comes to sharing new information on the case. When Andie confessed to the affair before Nick, it really looked bad on him. And when the police found the shed at Go's that was full of credit card purchases before Nick revealed it to
them, it hurt him and his case.
After details were leaked about Nick, the public no longer liked him or trusted him. Marybeth and Rand no longer trusted him either. They all were convinced that he had something to do with Amy's disappearance.
Lying throughout the Novel
Lies Amy had told to make her plan more believable
Amy began lying right from the beginning of the book when she wrote about "Diary Amy" and made the readers believe that that is who she is.
Amy manipulated everyone in her life and exaggerated every story and situation in her life to make people to what she wanted whenever she wanted.
She exaggerated and lied about her "stalkers" Tommy and Hillary. She lied about what she had said they had done to her just to make herself feel more important
She called Desi and lied to him about everything she had to go through. There was very few things that she told him that were actually true. She lied to him so that he would enjoy the situation she was in and he would feel bad for her.
Amy lied to her only friend in Missouri, Noelle. She faked being friends with her to get her to be on her side when she went through with her plan
We see that Amy's new life is a lie, but as readers we
quickly learn that even her past life was all a lie. The Amy we got
to learn, the Amy in the diary entries were all fake, they were a side of Amy that the she made up to make people believe she is sweet and innocent. The diary was only a prop she used
against Nick that she would purposely plant for the police to
find once she put her plan in place.
Amy lies to Jeff and Gretta, her friends, in her new life that she has created so that they won't suspect and discover that she is Amy from all over the news. Both of Amy's lives have been based on lies. She makes sure she has thought of everything in order for her not to get caught in this big lie
Lies Nick told to make himself look better in the media and towards the police
We learned about Nick's lies right from the beginning of the story
"It was my fifth lie to the police. I was just getting started." Nick knew it was wrong to lie to the police but he kept doing it anyways.
The police eventually start to catch Nick in his lies which makes him look more guilty.
Nick's biggest lie was about his affair with Andie and where he was on the morning of Amy's disappearance
I think Nick lies because he feels safer when he does and he feels that lying will help him to control his life and what goes on in it. He was never able to control his life in the past as he grew up in an abusive and damaged home and now that he has the chance to be able to control what goes on in his life, he takes the chance.
