In the book Anthem by Ayn Rand, what are some literary devices used in chapter two?

One literary device used in Chapter 2 is that of
flashback.  Equality 7-2521 actually speaks to Liberty 5-3000, but he also takes us
back, in flashback, to the first time he noticed her:  Equality 7-2521 was passing
Liberty 5-3000. All the other women were far off in a distant field, and the Street
Sweepers  had fallen behind Equality 7-2521. Liberty 5-3000 was kneeling at a moat,
looking at Equality 7-2521.  He recalls seeing water falling from her
hands.

Characterization is particularly vivid in this
chapter, too.  Equality 7-2521 notices details about Liberty 5-3000, such as her hair. 
No one in this society is supposed to notice the specific unique characteristics of
anyone else so not only do we see characterization, this characterization relates
directly to the novel's theme of individuality versus
collectivism.

Finally, tone is particularly effective in
this chapter.  Equality 7-2521 feels fear and distaste when he thinks of the Palace of
Mating (not wanting Liberty 5-3000 to be touched by anyone else), but when he thinks of
places that SHOULD arouse fear, according to the society, he is not fearful. Rather, he
feels joy and curiosity about the sky and the Uncharted Forest, a place that is supposed
to instill fear.  He notices instead the fear in the eyes of all his fellow Street
Sweepers.  This contrast contributes greatly to the tone of the narrative, which is one
of fear and distrust within the closed society versus joy and exhilaration within
individuality.

In this chapter, as in the entire novella,
syntax is a particularly significant literary device.  The speaker uses "We" to mean "I"
throughout the book, but, while speaking about falling in love, this seems particularly
wrong to him.  We can understand why!
