Atonement

Last week we saw a great part of the movie "Atonement" which main topic is love, relationships, etc. This Iac Mcewan's movie was really fun and entertaining to watch. The main topic of the movie is the atonement, Briony is misunderstanding everything in the relationship between Cecilia and Robbie, which finally ended on an accusation of rape to Robbie, forcing him to go to war and fight for his country, after all they both die. And that's why the title is Atonement, because Briony wanted to change what she did so after all she makes a novel on which Cecilia and Robbie get united. After this we had to answer to the following questions:

1) What sort of social and cultural setting does the Tallis house create? What emotions and impulses are being acted upon or repressed by it's inhabitants?

Well the house in my opinion represents loneliness, it's so dark and big that you may feel it cold, with no feelings, heart of stone, i dont know how to express it clearly, but clearly it's not a nice feeling. As well the house represents the economic difference between Cecilia and Robbie, which is a problem on their relationship.

2) A passion of order, a lively imagination, and a desire of attention seem to be Briony's strongest traits, in what ways is she still a child?

She's a child in almost every way, her narcisism makes her really inmature, the idea that any other thinking or theories are not correct is just an inmature thinking, also her imagination makes her a child still.

3) Why does Briony stick to her "version of the story" with such unwavering commitment? Does she act entirely in error in a situation she is not old enough to understand, or does she, in part, on an impulce of malice, revenge, or self-importance?

Well Briony is still a child, her imagination and the way she looks at her enviorment are just not right, the narcisism and everything make her stick to her version, maybe she wanted that to happen, and hated Robbie.

4) As she grows older, Briony develops the empathy to realise what she has done to Cecilia and Robbie. How and why do you think she does this?

Well she grew up and accepted another theories, that maybe they had loved each other and that Robbie wasn't really abusing of Cecilia, and that her, as a woman, understanded how they were feeling.
