Identify a person in a pose that represents how Patrick reacts in EACH of these instances in the story:
i. When he was about to open the door at 4:50pm
ii. When he broke the news of his extra-marital affairs to Mary
iii. When he crashed onto the carpet after being struck by a leg of lamb
You can use images, photographs or illustrations on the Internet. DO NOT USE SCREENSHOTS OF THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK TELEPLAY. Please remember to quote the source. Briefly explain what each chosen posture means and why you have chosen it.
My answers:
i. Hesitant. Patrick was hesitant to enter the door as he did not want to upset Mary’s feeling and he wanted to carry on with his life but then again, Mary was already pregnant and it would reflect badly on him as a honorable policeman if Mary found out that he had a extra-marital affairs and Mary could spread the word quickly so he did not want to risk losing his position in the Police station. Moreover, having a extra- marital affair is a crime.
ii. Worried. Patrick would be worried whether Mary would be hit hard by the news of his extra-marital affairs and the divorce. Although he has a extra marital affair, he should still have some feeling left about Mary. It is impossible that he should remain cold and unfriendly towards Mary forever.
iii. Pain. Patrick could feel pain in his head, like a hard and cold blow, followed by a sucking air pressure from the inside of his head. This should be after a loud "crack!" indicating that Patrick skull had broken and he will die soon. Therefore, there would be internal bleeding and this would be how Patrick would feel with all the blood building in his head, the pressure would be so great until he will slowly, in about 5 seconds, die.
I agree with you what the feelings that Patrick Maloney would have felt had that few moments. However, you can add in some photographs which may be related to the scenes in the story.
