How does Bennett reveal to us the character of Lesley; and how do we respond to her?

The character Lesley has been cl perpetuallyly crafted by Bennett so that the earshot advise find humour in her inability to read people and situations, and still pity her desperation for her big chance. By writing the chat up in monologue form the audience has access to Lesleys intimate feelings as the camera acts in a similar mood to that of a confessional. This ensures that the audience can form their own opinion of Lesley.Bennetts Her big chance started in his series of six monologues called Talking Heads. The monologue form suits Lesleys character beca procedure if on that point were other visible characters, Lesley would find herself being terribly humiliated whereas as it is Lesley can manipulate what the audience argon subjected to, done the monologue form. This by and by means Lesley is not a in truth relicap commensurate narrator the audience has to infer negative aspects of her character by reading between the occupancys. Likewise, a monologue b arely showcases iodin point of view so the dramatist has to use great skill to incorporate other characters feelings through the primary(prenominal) character, in this case, Lesley. In Lesleys monologue, the added opinions of others circulate the audience a better overview of Lesleys character.When Lesley give tongue to to Scott, I k outright why, they knew I had ideas about the part and he said, They knew you had a 38-inch bust the viewers are able to see that Lesley has no talent and is only good for the fun loving parts. Lesley thus goes on to say Scotts mothers engrossed to a wheelchair, hes got a lot on his plate, this proves Lesleys failure to interpret others opinions of her, divergence her isolated as a result. On the other hand, Lesley could be more(prenominal) capable than the audience give her credit for and therefore she was just be dismissing Scotts blunt comment to save her from the harsh existentity.All of Bennetts characters from Talking Heads are isolated and alone due to their particularity. Lesley has many idiosyncrasies which cause people to keep themselves from her. She is always trying to upgrade her small extra parts where you may induct seen me, Simon, is in Tess. Roman Polanski. I chanceed Chloe. No one would have known who she was talking about because Chloe was the one on the fundament of a farm cart wearing a shawl. Basically she was only an extra but Lesley insists on describing her part by name as if everyone remembers that part because she, herself, gave such a memorable performance. Although she has never had a estimable part, Lesley still persists in calling herself professional to her fingertips and fails to realise that the parts she does embolden are not so different from her, fun-loving girls who take life as it comes even if that means recreationing around to cleave a part. Invariably, Lesley takes superbia in telling people how to do their job, thinking that her contribution is important.Her inputs are always annoyin g little comments which doubt the capability of whom she is talking to like, if its a migraine rather than a headache Travis probably wouldnt be able to speak, and Gunther said, Whatever you say. Not only does she interfere with the directors work but she then tells the audience that its wonderful, that moment, when you feel a director first begin to self-reliance you and you really start to build. Here she misreads the situation as Gunther probably didnt deprivation her to talk because she is no good at performing and she only indispensable to look good anyway. Another thing Lesley hadnt realised was that with all her meddlesome over the making of the movie Gunther had probably figured by now out how to get what he wanted out of Lesley.An alternative display case of this is going back to Lesleys audition where she couldnt help but make a suggestion, reading generally indicates a studious temperament and Im a very convincing reader because its something I frequently do in real life. I could tell he was impressed. She then carries on just because Simon was acting impressed out politeness. Even when he was showing her out she didnt get the picture and suggested putting Travis in a bikini and give her a briefcase. Not only are these terrible ideas but she could have slow blown her audition if they based it on talent. The audience are able to see how others view her when Lesley had another thought and had to pop back. He was on the phone. You wont believe this, he was saying. Lesley saw this comment as a haughty one as though her audition was incredible the audience nonetheless are able to infer that Simon saw her audition as beyond belief and shocking.Lesleys constant use of jargon like lower echelons, p.o.v water-skis and we disguised at about six (thats film parlance for packed up) is exacting and patronising it similarly implies Lesley is trying too hard to fit into a higher class of society as only people who arent satiate with themselves feel the need to demean others. Additionally, Lesley uses Ciao and thats interesting excessively, its as though she is trying to be more cultured or more interesting, when in fact in just makes her seem unintelligent due to her pretermit of varied vocabulary.Bennetts humour is usually at the expense of others, similarly at Lesleys ignorance. At one point in the play Nigel mentions that the director Gunther is jocund with their progress because they are finally cooking with gas, Lesley misreads this and says does that mean its good because I prefer electricity. This is a classic bimbo moment, created by Bennett, which the audience can use help them discover the true character of Lesley. Being vulnerable and nave quite a often leads Lesley to waking up in many impertinent rooms. It is pitiful that Lesley is so desperate and has no belief in herself that she feels she has to sleep with whoever it takes to get a part. This originates from her isolation, she possibly feels lonely and consequ ently the only way she feels wanted is if she constantly has one night stands.At the end of the play Lesley is back where she started, in her small desolate flat. This reveals to the audience despite having just performed in a movie she has gotten nowhere as a result. In a way, Lesley can also see this unkind truth as she ends by saying that she would like to acquire another skill like marketing valuable oil paintings or canoeing. As she feels that the more you have to give the better you are as an actress. This in her case is true because she doesnt have much talent to give and is also a bad actress it is also similar to her habit of sleeping with people. She gives them what they want and sometimes shell get a part. She rounds off by saying acting is really just giving. This line sums up her career, which is quite a sad thought, but she only ever gets used and nothing really comes out of it, because she is left in her precise flat again on her own.On the surface Bennett develops Lesleys character so the audience can only abhorred her and her traits, but underlying the viewers could quite possibly feel sympathetic towards her as despite all she went through she still didnt get her big chance.
