For this discussion, please give short response of the following prompts. Gill Plain's article's main point is that although hard-boiled detective fiction is full of tough guys and macho swagger, the work of Raymond Chandler especially should be seen as a defensive reaction to the men's "paradoxical vulnerability." Assess this claim in light of what happens with Vivian in Chapter 23 or Carmen in Chapter 24. What is really going on when Marlowe rejects the advances of these women? For this post, you will need to correctly quote, cite and analyze a passage from Plain that you think is most illuminating on this issue. Then you need to select a passage or two from The Big Sleep to quote and analyze, using Plain to interpret the scene.
