THEMES
Misogyny
Nicks dad's misogyny caused Nick to always be extremely worried that he will be like him. Amy was a feminist and aware of Nick's misogynistic dad.
”If I despised only Amy, focused all my fury and rage and venom on the one woman who deserved it, that didn’t make me my father. That made me sane.” (Flynn 1010)
-
Media
Whatever the media showcases, everyone jumps along and agrees, because the media has ways of twisting situations.
An example of this is when Nick smiled on T.V. All people saw was a man smiling while his wife is missing, but no one saw how he was truly feeling. Just this one picture, and everyone decided he is evil.
-
Marriage
-
If there is no communication in a relationship, it cannot be sustained.
Nick and Amy lacked trust, honesty, and communication. This led to a horrible situation of revenge.
Dishonesty
-
For example: Nick's dishonesty with Amy created a situation where Amy felt betrayed enough to hurt him with revenge.
“So I began to think of a different story, a better story, that would destroy Nick for doing this to me.”(Flynn 667)
Writing
-
Whether its a journal, news report, essay, etc. it can not always be trusted.
For example, Amy's journal was a "trusted" source, until readers figured out it was actually very untrue and unreliable.
Secrets
-
Amy and Nick's relationship revolved around secrets which led them to revenge, murder, and betrayal.
When there are secrets in any relationship, whether it be a mother-daughter relationship, or a friendship, or a marriage, secrets are always something that can easily ruin a relationship's strength.
