Drama

GCSE Drama
Our stimulus is home.
I focused on Stockholm Syndrome, where the victim loves their abuser. We devised a performance where there was an abusive husband and his wife was the victim. She loved him and told herself everyday that he loved her. There were four of us in our group.. we all played the same woman but different sides of her- e.g  I was the afraid side. The lesson after I designed costumes for all the characters, they were extravagant and very stereotypical, however they were all ripped, which links the characters together.







My monologue:

A house is made out of wall and beams; a home is made out of smiles and dreams. Smiles have been lost in this household but love still remains, I do not leave this house. It’s just me and him living in a building. He’s dominant. I love him. I could not leave this house even if I wanted to, I am trapped, he holds me invisible chains, but  I would miss him if I left, he speaks of danger from the outside would, I am safe here, with him. I love him. He returns from work, pushes me around, he must have everything he desires. I love him. I try to please him.

People think I’m crazy, people think I’m trapped, people want to help, people do not understand.

I love him he loves me

Unconditional love, no matter what he does or says I will love him now and forever. He is my only family, the only one who cares for me.  I shall live with him here until I’m old and grey, we will die together in this house made of wall and beams.
