The classification of the characters becomes clear again because of the use of syntax. After leaving the Golden Day and returning to the university, the reader notices that everyone in this setting speaks dramatically correct. The narrator even describes this difference in page 47 by saying that "us" as in the people of the college and the peasants were different. Ending the part about the Golden Days there are aphorisms like “high as a Georgia pine"(pg 87) and also what I think is an allusion when the vet says "a little child shall lead them"(pg 95). Somehow this aphorism and allusion add to the effect of the setting. Since the character finds himself with Mr. Norton in what has become a mad house, the reader can see how the prostitute that said the aphorism is different from the vet that said the allusion by tge display of different backgrounds. This goes back to the idea that the invisible man is surrounded by all of this and has a close mind dowager all of it because he thinks he us superior.
