Evaluation Question 2

We tried to represent our evil character as a character that appears to look incredibly normal, yet is completely devious and evil. This sort of character has hard to create for us. We opted for normal clothes that Ben would wear, yet we had to think of some subtle way to show that he would be a member of the cult. We finally decided on a cult tattoo on the neck, matching the symbol of that on the corpse, only with a different tally (the corpses was 7, this person is 6.) The 6 also suggests that this man isn’t the lead main character; he is portrayed as more of a thug or crony, so we tried to make him appear as if he can’t think for himself and appears to come across as a bit “thick” yet powerful and intimidating.

We feel that this character resembles the characters “Crabbe” and “Goyle”, Malfoy’s cronies in the Harry Potter series. These 2 merely follow the orders given by Malfoy and have an incapability of independent thought. We try to represent our character as someone who puts up a tough front, yet when you delve deeper into his character, you find he is capable of emotions and this portrays despite the front, he is still only human and not just someone who merely follows orders. This is much like the situations Crabbe and Goyle find themselves in when dealing with Malfoy’s plots. They appear as the kind of characters who might bumble around and mess something up, like how our characters lets the 2 girls run away instead of killing them too. Maybe this is due to the human emotions showing through? The clothes they wear try to make them appear normal; our character wears typical everyday clothes, and Crabbe and Goyle wear the school uniform. Though we have an idea this sort of clothing is what they would wear out of school.
