What do we learn about the characters from this extract?
We learn that the family are wealthy and have been well bought up. We also learn the father is very protective of his daughter, and is anxious of her newest boyfriend. We are also taught that the daughter has had previous experience of ‘tattooed’ boyfriends and the father hasn’t approved of them. We learn the daughters newest boyfriend works at the theatre and the mother is the peacemaker. From the fathers blunt tone of voice and use of language we are lead to believe he doesn’t approve of his daughters newest boyfriend and thinks he is too old to be in a relationship with her.
