Character Introduction
The story begins with the narrator talking about a time when being rebellious was in vogue, and the stereotypical image of the greaser lifestyle―torn leather jackets, slouching, apathy, drinking, rock and roll, and drug abuse―was the ‘cool’ way of life. On the third day of their summer vacation, he is out with his friends Digby, who was a Cornell attendee, and Jeff, who planned to quit school to pursue either painting, music, or become a head-shop proprietor. They set out in the night, swayin...
Description of Setting
When the narrator describes the Lake, he tells us that the Indians referred to it as ‘The Wakan’, which meant ‘spiritual’ or ‘divine’. He tells us that the lake was once clear, and the sights, beautiful. But now it was an image of filth and murkiness, with broken glass, beer cans, and charred remains of bonfires lining the shore. A ravaged island, hundred yards from the shore, seemed as if it was destroyed and repeatedly bombed by many a low-flying aircraft.
Focal Scene between Main Characters and the ‘Greaser’
Upon reaching their destination, they notice an abandoned chopper and a mint condition, blue ‘57 Chevy. They assumed it belonged to their friend Tony Lovett and parked behind him in order to get a few laughs and a peek at his lady friend. Instead, when they get out of the car, the narrator has the first ominous feeling of something going wrong, when he loses his car keys, followed by the realization that the man was not their friend, but an angry ‘greaser‘. In what ensues, the greaser attacks...
Setting
1. This short story is set in 1960s’ America, torn between a waging war and shifting morals and ideals. Amidst this chaotic change, many teenagers are stuck between what they want to be and what they were. This pushes them either into rebellion or conforming to the change around. The three characters wanted to appear cool and tough, with a “We don’t care for anything” attitude. 2. Along with this, the Greasy Lake, in itself, is an important part of what the author is trying to convey. The lak...
Character Sketch
1. Digby seems to be the leader, while the narrator and Jeff seem to be conformists. 2. The characters are described as teenage rebels who enjoy the ‘greaser’ way of life, with dangerous thrills and spills. 3. Although the narrator keeps making references to their bad-boy ways, certain details seem to contradict the same, like their college educations and musical preference for the ‘Toots and the Maytals’, a reggae band much unlike the rock and roll they say they enjoy. 4. The characters want...
Symbolism Used
Bruce Springsteen’s Song: The title is taken from a Bruce Springsteen song called, “Spirit in the Night”, which describes a similar fun night out that doesn’t end so well for some. Boyle has taken this idea, and put his own dark twist with an in-depth view into human nature. Wakan:The ‘Wakan’ is a word taken from the Sioux language, which means ‘spiritual’ or ‘divine’. This is used to describe how the lake used to be and doubles as a reference to the characters, who were once pure, but now ta...

The Idea of Death. Perhaps the clearest illustration of Forster’s “Only connect” theme is in a speech that Helen Schlegel, Margaret’s sister, gives to Leonard towards the end of the book. In this speech, Helen delivers the famous line, “Death destroys a man, the idea of death saves him.”
