-How are the audience being positioned?
(to identifiy with the characters)
- Harry - We like Harry as we see him as a lonely old man, who's lonely and is scared in his own home. We see him lose his wife and his only friend which makes us feel for him more. He starts killing members of the gang, but we still like him and have lots of sympathy for him. We dont start disliking him for this, we agree with him and like him even more for his bravery.
- Noel - We dont like Noel at all, he's shown badly and as a bully and a murderer. The audience are posititioned to depise him becuase of what he does and the way he treats Harry who is such a liked character. Hes evil and a horrible boy who looks up to his dad and is trying to be like, which shows how horrible his dad was also.
- Lower class - They are all lower class because of where they live and the way they behave. The place they live is run down, vandalised and is made to look awful, showing there lower class. The youths dont have jobs, they gain money by selling drugs. It also makes the story more believable as they are all 'layabouts'.
