 Key Narrative
• Main character comes back from his job as a clown. Although he is a very serious
character and not very light hearted so finds his job quite depressing but is stuck in
it as he has no other options,
• He comes back to find out his brother has been made a fool of by a group of
popular lads because he is a bit slow compared to the rest of them. They terrorise
him and make a fool of him but he doesn’t really understand so just goes along with
it.
• The main character gets each and everyone of them back by playing his own
practical joke on each of them, using his skills from clowning, although the last one
he tries backfires and leaves him unstuck, and it is his brother who in the end
becomes the brave one that out smarts them all.
• Audience believes that the brother is slow and is incapable of thinking or doing for
himself but are surprised at the end of the film as he comes out on top.
• Although, now the plot is a bit more humours, like Sean of the dead or drag me to
hell
