Great Expectations (WWTBGN) Elements of Crime
Victim
Justice
Amelia
Victim of death (on operating theatre) and the reader not really caring about her
We only briefly hear about her, though told a lot about Marcus.
Some deaths are more important
Brodie
Seeing another dead body, this time in his own home
Should be a safe space
Of Tessa
"it had been a perfect con and he had been the perfect mark"
Starts as seemingly nothing in the first chapter we see him, not instantly aware of what he is
Ends up as nothing
Symmetrical structure
Has nothing apart from his home
A detective who has been duped/tricked
"he had fallen like the biggest fool ever"
Of fraud
"endless hours of sitting in a car waiting for missing husbands and unfaithful wives to cross his radar"
Brodie thinks he knows better about women but doesn't
Irony
"could never tell her the truth"
Louise doesn't find out the truth about Dr H killing Peter and John
Though is this an injustice for Louise? She deserves to know
Detective
"she was police and he used to be"
Louise
"You're a terrible liar"
"It's written all over you"
Setting
"No croissants"
Lack of homeliness in Brodie's apartment
"Jackson was waiting outside the hospital, collar hunched up against the cold"
Hardboiled detective
Foreshadows lack of warmth to come
