Title Explanation and Analysis

Titles:
Body Part: A foot out of line
Genre: Drama
Weather Metaphor: The Winds of Change
Arthur Miler Esque: Joffrey wants to punish Winifred, but Winifred wants to defend for her life.

These titles relate to my scene, 7. They both symbolise an event that has happened. To sum up scene seven, Master Joffrey of a high class household, is meaning to punish his "object", a slave; Winifred. She understands the punishment will be harsh therefore visualising only her death, she fights for her life. Innocently but intelligently, she deligates an agreement using blackmail as her tool of choice, to anger and subdue Joffrey by bringing up his love affair with Arthur. Joffrey knows if anyone were too find out about Arthur, they would both be in grave trouble; this being due to homosexuality not being accepted 1805.

A foot out of line

 This is my first title. It is a metaphor designed around the chosen body part; the foot. I  have used this as my title because I believe it symbolises the fact that a low class slave is fighting for the same rights as a high class person. This slave is answering back, blackmailing, assaulting this higher class boy. In 1805, this behaviour from such a low member under the normal fabric of society would be deemed preposterous. Any slave who were to speak out of line would have been executed. This is because they were not seen as people.
To Joffrey, Winifred is stepping out of line and is being outspoken. He sees only the consequence of her actions and the suitable punishment. I feel this is the main event because it has the most important impact of its time.

The Winds of Change

My second title is a weather metaphor. I have used this title because; too me, it sums up how the events and atmosphere have changed from the beginning to the end. It shows how the Winifred has gone from being an objectified slave to a self promoted, human, standing up for her rights. It also shows how Joffrey has devolved from being a master in a high class household who has had his emotions unravelled, down to a more open minded less arrogant boy.
This is an important historical event as the slave trade act was in forced by the movement of slaves like Winifred (William).

I believe that by creating these titles and analysing each one I have learnt a more in depth background of my character and have understood more about the reality that both these characters would have faced in 1805.

To conclude, my titles symbolise important events in the play and relate to the impact that they have had in reality, in 1805.
