Topic: In a close and systematic reading of William Gibson’s “Marly and the Boxmaker,” a long selection from his 1986 novel Count Zero, analyze how Gibson’s linguistic style creates a specific and sustained tone in the narrative—both in the reading experience and the level of ideas and themes. Furthermore, discuss how this tone, this emotional and intellectual accent of the narrative, works by a process of description, metaphor, and irony. Description is that linguistic mode of sentences whereby a reader is shown the world in cascades of intricate detail. Metaphor is that process where by figures of speech (terms, phrases, even whole sentences) create vivid comparisons between known and unknown things in order to extend the reader’s understanding of deep and complex processes, contexts, and roles. And irony is that strategy of saying the apparent opposite of what one intends, which creates an instant of contradictory variation in a reader’s understanding, all in order to suggest a strong and sustained critique of some state of affairs contrary to one’s desires, expectations, beliefs, and requirements. Reveal how Gibson’s style, as he unfolds and interrogates his subject matter, offers the careful reader a specific critique of late twentieth century high-technology societies, as well as the forms and roles which individual identities take and the way those identities are battered or soothed by a society comprised of weak governments, rapacious and unstoppable global corporations, and fragmented social networks.

This story explores gender roles in the context of marriage. The protagonist, Mr. Waythorn, finds himself in the uncomfortable position of being his new wife’s third husband. Remember that, at the time this story was written, divorce was uncommon and a divorced woman was often looked down on as morally loose and even dangerous.  As you work through the story, what do you see in Waythorn’s view of marriage and the husband’s role? When, at the end of the story, he accepts a cup of tea with a laugh in the company of his wife and her first and second husbands, is that a happy ending? Or is there some deeper problem beginning to arise?
