This is a summary of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Chapter 21 

Chapter 21: In this chapter Mr. Wemick takes Pip to Barnard’s Inn. When he gets there Pip is imagining how is apartment would be . Pip then gets to his apartment he shakes hands with Mr . Wemick and goes to his dirty room . Mr. Pocket Junior arrives, and gives Pip some strawberries. Pip is surprised how kind he’s being .We learn that Pocket Junior does not have that much money, he said that he was going to give Pip a tour of the city in the morning. They then both remember that they know each other they had a fight at Miss. Havisham’s.

Talk about how the character of the FOREMAN would be performed according to his motivation and objectives.

The Forman’s motivation would be fear . He knows that if he didn’t get the work done in time he’d die. The Forman is the head of the building operation but still a builder himself . But because he’s the head and in charge it’s his fault if the wall isn’t build in time .  So he only wants to finish the wall to get paid and keep on breathings as if the wall isn’t ready in time he’s dead . I would portray the foreman as a person who moves a lot and rushing his men to working . As well as nervous and scared around his superiors . I would hope that the audience would think of him as a jumpy character never relaxing and always moving . Hopefully they would learn from the scene that he is worried , scared and anxious .

In our piece we wanted our audience to think about how hard women’s lives became during the war and what they endured. We created a split-screen performance . One half was men going through war and life on the front lines and the other half was what the women were doing as the men were gone. Actions like scrubbing and carrying a baby allowed are audience to understand what was going on. There is a clear distinction between the portrayal of the men and women . The actions that represented the women looked easier and looked like manual work whilst the actions portrayed by the men were meant to be more gruesome and hard. Making our performance a split scene performance meant that you could see what is was like for two different people at the same time . It showed the audience the two different experiences that women and men went through during the war.
