Curfew and Psycho - Analysis

Curfew Analysis .

In the movie curfew the equilibrium changes and progresses as the storyline thickens , for example at the beginning “Riche” the male character in the storyline shows he is about to end his life , until he feels like he has something to live for, which is his niece . In the movie we are shown the two representations of both characters for example you would expect a child to act like a child , but in this case she takes over that adult responsibility and suppresses her child like qualities , we see the two characters act in reverse . She acted as if she was superior to “Riche” . As the film progresses we see Riche kind of take back that adult authority a little bit and she learned to respect him in a way . In my opinion Riche is the hero in this story because he moves the narrative along , he builds the story . If we think about the word “ hero” we associate that with a particular person or character that saves the day , but in terms of narrative we don’t see your typical idea of a hero , which the character Riche. In terms of binary opposition you can see clearly who is the man and who is women . DIsequilibrium 

Freytag's 5 Act structure on Psycho .

The dramatic arc is Exposition , rising action , climax , falling action and denouement . 

Exposition - we are shown Marion the female character stealing money and running away with it and people are after her , because the amount of money she stole , her character is definitely established . ( inciting incident 13 mins ) 

Rising Action - Marion runs to a motel , she meets norman and decides to return the money but she doesn't realise what is in store for her . 

Climax - The most dramatic part of psycho is when Marion is dramatically killed when she was in the shower unexpectedly . Norman suspiciously clears away the body . 15 mins

Denouement - Lila was almost killed while finding a dramatic discovery that the killer mother is dead a stuffed , we could state that sam is the protagonist because he saved his girlfriend Lila from being the next Marion in this case he is the post potaginaist .
