Although the novel is written in the third person omniscient, the beginning of the novel is described in a childish manner, as if the audience is experiencing and observing things through Rosemary’s lens. Thus, the French Riviera is seen with beauty but with naiviety. The illustration of the Riviera is vividly romantic and stunning. Color imagery is dominant in the opening lines of the novel. Among all the colors used to paint the setting of the novel, different hues of pinks and red come out.…
