Can you name some famous last lines from classic novels?

The last line of 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville is '... then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.' This line gives a sense of the timelessness and the power of the sea. It also reflects on the futility of Ahab's quest against the white whale, as in the end, the sea remains unchanged and indifferent to man's struggles.

In 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the last line is 'So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.' This line sums up the futility and the unending struggle of the characters in the novel, especially Gatsby's pursuit of the American Dream which seems always just out of reach.

In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', the last line is 'He turned out the light and went into Jem's room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.' It shows Atticus's love and protection for his son, leaving a warm and reassuring feeling after the events of the story.

Sure. The last line of 'Pride and Prejudice' is 'Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.' It's a happy ending that ties up the love story between Elizabeth and Darcy neatly.

A line from Leo Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' goes 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' This line is often quoted as it sums up one of the main themes of the novel, which is the exploration of different kinds of family relationships and the reasons for their unhappiness.

A well - known line from 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is 'So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.' This line reflects the futility and the struggle of the characters in the novel. Gatsby is constantly trying to recapture the past, his relationship with Daisy, but is thwarted by the passage of time and the social differences between them. It also symbolizes the broader human experience of longing for something that can no longer be fully regained.

Famous lines from classic novels are like keys that unlock deeper meanings. For example, in '1984' by George Orwell, 'Big Brother is watching you.' This simple yet chilling line encapsulates the overarching theme of a totalitarian society where privacy is non - existent and citizens are constantly under surveillance. It makes the reader immediately aware of the oppressive nature of the regime in the novel.

In 'Of Mice and Men', the last line is 'Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?' This rather simple yet thought - provoking line leaves the reader with a sense of the mystery and the unsaid things about the relationship between George and Lennie, and the harsh world they live in.

In 'The Great Gatsby', the last line is 'So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.' This line reflects the futility of Gatsby's pursuit of the American Dream and his unrequited love for Daisy.

The last lines of famous novels can be very revealing. Take 'Pride and Prejudice' for instance. The last line 'Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.' It wraps up the story of the two main characters' love and how they are grateful for the events that led them to be together.
