• Themes

    Nothing new here, just a recap of the themes we have talked about during the year :

    - family life ( love/hate relationships / independence / traditional values vs the 60s revolution / what it means to be a mother : do you have to care for your children ?  Loving your children : instinct or social pressure ? / can you be free to make your own decisions when you depend on your parents for financial and moral support ?...)

    - dealing with deviency / differences (Ben could represent symbolically any person who is different, disabled, socially unfit and so he questions the way society [family ; doctors ; schools ; the police...] deals with deviency)

    Doctors : how do they deal with mental illness (lock people up physically in an institution or a straight jacket ?  lock them up chemically by drugging them stupid? Organise therapy ?...)

    Schools : can they integrate children who do not understand the difference between right and wrong?  who can be dangerous with others?...

    - The evolution of British society between the 60s and the 80s

    (from the optimism of the 60s to the gloomy crisis of the 70s to the violent society of the 80s...)
