The class system idea within this play i feel is very interesting. How many people are categorised into sections and there is a divide between people. I am focusing on what i feel the people in each class will look like and what conditions in which they will live. This will then help my character to understand each person within the play and have opinions on how he will act around them. I have looked at many pictures on how i feel that each class would look.
This is what i felt that class 5 would look like. I looked at people in the current society that we live in and felt that many homeless people held a more appropriate look for the people in a class five status. I felt that this would create a clear visible divide in each class and you can easily tell what person belongs to what class. Within the Play, the characters of Pete and Dot are this class and i feel that they are the forgotten members of society and would contrast nicely with the upper class members.
Looking on the other end of the scale i felt that it would be visibly interesting to create a clear contrast between the upper and lower classes. Many upper classes would have plenty of wealth and would physically look like they had a lot of money. On the other end of the scale you would have a person in rags to almost create an over the top contrast between the classes.
You've made some interesting observations here, Carl. Try to include a vision of each of the Sectors and the sort of person you think would be allocated to each - don't forget that people in this world do not choose which Section they will belong to - how do you think your character would feel if he was not allocated to the Sector he believes he should be?
ReplyDeleteThis is a useful start to your research, Carl. How do you think the different sections would look? If Kent were divided today, where would each section be and what sort of people would sent there?
