Child Abuse In 'Goodnight Mr. Tom'

In Conor Grennan’s “the little princes” a young man by the name of Conor Grennan is bored with his typical day to day life and decides to spend his life savings on a yearlong trip around the world. Before he begins his worldwide trip, he volunteers at an orphanage in Nepal named “the little princes” mainly out of a sense of guilt rather than an actual desire to help. Expecting it to be a short and meaningless time he soon finds himself on a long and difficult journey that will change him in ways that he never expected. Through his time with the children of the orphanage Conor finds himself changing in ways he did not expect as he experiences the world outside of his own country, develops a genuine desire to help others before himself, and eventually gaining a new sense of purpose. This change brought on by his time spent with the children is apparent throughout his journey as he is tested again and again to see how far he will go and just what kind of man he will be in the end.

And, it is precisely how we as viewers identify with this character and become complicit in his pathological perspective which this essay will continue to explore.

The mother is seen nervously taking part socialising with Tom, indicating the slow process of mental development. The provocative image enhances an emotional response of disgust and discomfort in the audience as they are passively involved with the rapid transition of mother. In comparison to the film “The Shawshank Redemption”, viewers are guided through Brooks’ transition with the use of narration demonstrating his struggle and suffering.

This scene is followed by a low angle of the buildings empowering Brooks, symbolising the world's control over him. The composer uses these physical behavioural aspect of the scene to create awareness of the pain and

Mary is the perpetrator or the abuser in this scenario. She is outwardly displaying anger and intimidation techniques by standing over James yelling and swearing at him. While not physically touching him, the psychological abuse she is subjecting James to could potentially be just as damaging. Her body language being right up in his face, has potential to escalate very quickly as well as provoking a reaction by James to remove her from his personal space. These factors, combined with her highly agitated, irrational state and ease of access to a weapon create a very dangerous situation for all involved.
