Week 5: N2C

N2C

This week, me and Lindsay discussed how Mouse, my character, reacts to the other characters up and down the hierarchical system. We said that she treats everybody the same but she gets along with people who are nearer to her own level such as Fish and Mags.

She understands that there is a hierarchical system and she knows where her place is but me and Lindsay were both saying that she doesn't care about her place or where anybody else is. She treats everyone with respect but finds it easier to interact with people who are also plankton like her.

When she talks to King instead of raising to his level, she brings him down especially in the quiz scene when they are battling it out to see who has the better knowledge of films. King is the one who cracks under the pressure which the audience see as confusing as King is the one who controls everyone and the one who produces all of these films and he is the one who can't handle the expectations that have been placed on him. Mouse is the one who controls the situation and remains calm all the way through without cracking under the pressure.

We also talked about how she responds to the idea of being hit, which, to all the other Plankton, is the worst idea that there could be but to Mouse, when Elton and Spike are delaying the punch she actually asked them to hurry up and hit her. I think Mouse is very strong in her opinions and she strongly opposes the idea of the different levels and she believes that everyone should be treated the same which reflects the way she speaks to people.
