Song Pick

As I was thinking about the different characters that we have read about this year so far the asain man kept coming to mind and  I wanted to see if I could think of a song about a stalker and "every breath you take," by The Police came to mind. Many think when first listening it is about being in love but if you read about the song from the band it is actually written about a stalker which is why I choose "every breath you take."

Video 1 vs Video 2

As I watched the two video clips I noticed such a difference in the two characters. I think that Viven did the best job of fulfilling Tennessee Williams view of Blanche. "I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really," which I believe is shown through Viven. Viven seems very frightened when she is left a lone with him which she should not be. Viven seemed very distant and not really coherent to what was going on.
