Our character is similar to Dolores from
Shutter Island. She is similar because they both are women and they have both
have murdered their children. They are also similar because they have a
physiological disorder and are not mentally stable. They are however different
because our character, Catherine, is the protagonist of out film. She is the
main character and the whole film is based on her struggle, as she believes her
child is still alive and is always with her where as in Shutter Island Dolores
is killed by her Husband, Teddy. Teddy is the protagonist in Shutter Island and
it is about him struggling to except that his wife killed his 3 children and
down to this he was charged for arson and killing her. He was then put into a
mental asylum. It is unusual to have a women protagonist that is shown to
murder and harm her children and be a danger to society. We have challenged
this stereotype in order to show that women can be as dangerous as a male
protagonist but this isn’t really shown in the film industry and this is why it
was hard to find a similar character to base this part of the evaluation on.
They are different in relation to their costume as Dolores is not shown to be
mentally ill by what she is wearing where as our character is wearing a white
shirt dress which is related to a mental asylum. Dolores wears make up and
colourful clothing and our character is shown to be minimalistic and plain to
reinforce the fact that she is not stable.
