Alice and Bob

The film has music, instruments and sound effects. A critical scene where aural techniques have been most precise would be initial shot no.2 where Alice is shown walking slowly towards the teapot, just like eve did with the forbidden fruit. This shot portrays human nature and the start of hamartia. The director’s purpose to show the audience this was to spark a spirit of enquiry in the audience as to whether the ‘teapot’ is bad or good, once again showing how even Alice doesn’t know how to ‘work’ the teapot (until later into the movie).

appearance and the comparisons between her and other famous female figures. At the start of Rebecca, the narrator describes herself as a “little scrubby schoolboy with a passion for a sixth-form prefect” and had a “youthful, unpowdered face” which shows how young she was when she was working for Mrs Van Hopper. It is safe to say that Maxim, not unlike the reader, sees the narrator as a child despite them being married. For example, he insists three times that the narrator dress up as Alice in…

Moreover, strong female characters can be found in all of Munro’s works, but Runaway (2004) mixes both gender roles and the need for escape and freedom from small regional towns.

Compared to “Boys and Girls”, Runaway is a collection of short stories, it gives a broader view of the women’s lives. To be noted, Tolan focuses on the actual story titled “Runaway” while drawing from the…
