Paper 1 Question - Question 2 Nia and Cassidy


  • 2. Choose a passage from the novel you have chosen to study which emphasizes the difference in status between two or more characters. How would you present this passage on stage in order to communicate these differing statuses to an audience?
  • Page 51
    • Focusing on the scene where Gabriel Beauxhomme goes to pick up his son.
    • Want the majority of the stage to be the village
      • Huts, lots of mud, puddles, trees
      • Catwalk (Build some form of transportation like a helicopter that is mentioned in the book.)
      • ONe hut to show both the outside ad the inside, the hollow wall that you can see Daniel laying a bed of leaves (Leaves from the trees in the setting)
      • Gabriel wearing fancy shoes (Shiny, steps down into a puddle with a look of disgust)
      • Him to bring two people also wearing fancy clothing and carrying a cot.
      • Go into the hut and confront Desiree who is laying by Daniels said caring for him
      • Want Desiree's dress to be ripped and torn to show her poverty (Same for the other peasants)
      • Desiree to be brushed out of the way to shoe who has the power here, maybe have her try to refuse their actions but is brushed off. 
      • Gabriel throws the coins on the ground in front of them to show a lack of respect and his status. 
      • Gabriel wipes shoe off once going back up into the helicopter.
      • Desiree runs out to look at the Helicopter rises from the stage and out of sight, look of longing. Maybe rush to Mama Eurlie who comforts her.
