Character Research

Stalker

Recognising someone as a stalker is almost impossible. They look like normal human beings, like you and I. There behaviour is often linked with those who are domestically violent.
Characteristics-

  • Jealous
  • Narcissistic 
  • 'instanlty' in love
  • views themselves as a victim
  • 'You owe me'
  • Mood swings (anger and love)
  • Cannot take no as an answer
  • They are the victim
I would have thought that the stalker was stereotypical creepy guy. However I think that there are two images that could be used. Firstly someone smart, well dressed and subtle. But secondly a yard worker, someone with stubble dealer boots and combat army trousers.

The young couple-

I do not imagine the young couple to be the average young lovers. I think that they will be nervous and on edge as they are running away together.
Here are the typical characteristics of a young couple-


  • They are constantly smiling in each others presence
  • They always want to being holding hands, cuddling, or kissing
Body Language-

  • They would be facing each other (bodies turned inwardly if walking)
  • When holding hands it would be loose to show their comfort and confidence within the couple
  • There smiles will be natural and not appear forced.
