Literary analysis:
Old Jolyon learned from Irene that one can lose everything that’s possible, even it is not acceptable in the Forsytes world. He learned from her the possibility of losing selfpossession. So he could accept the world which exists outside the Forsytes‟. “You’re looking a little Londony”. (27, p.340) This transition shows that in fact, being a Forsyte is seismic, thus Forsyte is only a part of the greater mass of the city”. “You thought you had hold of life, but it slipped away behind you by the scruff of the neck forced you there.
Five million people in this great blunderbuss of a town, and all of them at the mercy of that Life-Force like a lot of little dried peas hopping about on a board when you struck your fist on it. Oh, well! Himself would note much longer-a good long sleep would do him good! (27, p.356-7) From the surface Irene and Soames look like happy. Galsworthy himself calls this couple “a happy pair” and also “a wife and a husband being one person”. But J.Galsworthy as an author didn’t believe to his own words, he didn’t rely on his characters which seemed happy from distance. He approaches them closely and like the bobble this happiness booms and reaches the end. So this was irony that Soames and Irene is “a happy pair”. In the description of Irene’s appearance Galsworthy used such epithets “ambercoloured hair, fair skin and dark brown eyes and rosy light made her more attractive”. As a woman Irene really was beautiful. She is introduced at the beginning of the novel as “a tall woman, who has beautiful figure, even some Forsytes called her heathen Goddess”. (27, p.17) She is portrayed bodily sexual, when she moves her shape sways, skin tight dresses fit her “tight as drum”.
There are a lot of brilliant metaphors expressing the essence of Forsytizm. Galsworthy describes them like this: All the Forsytes live in shells, characterizing proprietorship insularity of Forsytes, comparing them with shellfish. They are known with their shells woven from different circumstances of their life, their property, relations and wives. The character of philanthropy of Forsytes is defined with the metaphor about the temple of Forsytizm, where day and night is kept quenchless fire before the God of proprietorship, on the alter where is written the words: “Nothing is gift, but for penny only stitch”. (translation by Farida Shirinova from 30) This slogan finds its expressive confirmation at the end of the novel. The little grandchild of James gave a poor person a false coin and under the influence of this dispirited with problems James brightened.
Another very short metaphor “their faces-prisons of thoughts” (translation by Farida Shirinova from 30) characterize their secrecy. A very important roles play speech characteristics of Forsytes in the disclosure of Forsytizm. The talks, turning around the exchange rate, dividends, the prizes of houses and things, accompanied unchangeable shouts: “Jobson will be given a good deal of money for it!” “Jobson has not such a thing for ages” “Overpaid”, “Made a bad bargain”. (translation by Farida Shirinova from 30) The main idea of Galsworthy proprietorship philosophy which is contradictory to all humanity becomes particularly clear when he depicts nature. Motion and brightness of colours differs from the deadly, frozen existence of Forsytes. “Wide leaves were brightly shining under the sun, dancing the music of charmante” ⁸ “The fields were heating; everything was listening to the tender.

So the author and the heroes try to explain the core of the situation together, they do not interfere with each other but help. The language of the characters when they speak in their inner world is very concrete and laconic, they do not carry sentimental thoughts, even there is not any kind of abstract terms, and it is close to the everyday speech, which is full of idiomatic constructions. Besides, Galsworthy used the efficiently dialogical speech to give the real picture of the environment. So, the characters speak by themselves without any kind of interference of the writer, one show the other’s good and bad sides. The characteristic feature of this speech is its being full of colloquialisms, vulgar words, English and French slang words, Biblical constructions in parody.
