Uddrag
The story also uses contrasts to show the distinction between the luxurious jewelry shops inside the Arcade and the ordinary world outside.
The jewelry stores are opulent, with glittering watches and diamond rings, while outside, a security guard in a shabby uniform greets them on a rainy afternoon.
This difference underlines Bill's desire to introduce Gaynor to a world of luxury, setting apart the everyday from something extraordinary.
