2.  WHAT TIME IS IT? 

It is the Italian renaissance period which is about the late 14th-- Early 15th century. It is the summer season, so the mood of the play is quite festive and carnival like, so the play has an energetic feeling throughout. Right now its is Wednesday which is the day when the judge likes to get all his cases together before the court hearing.

3.  WHERE AM I? 

 Right now I am in Italy inside the well known Italian court which is called Corte costituzionale della Repubblica. I am I n the court house which is the home of the judge and the place where I stay/work sometimes If I am not managing the actual court. But right this minute I am in my assigned room which is where us guards have to stay.

 

 

 

4.  WHAT SURROUNDS ME? 

(Animate and inanimate objects-complete details of environment) 

In my environment I am surrounded by vast solid furniture and fine cutlery, mostly the objects are fine and expensive because we are in a court house and the judge is a very wealthy respected man. Outside the court the judge owns land about the size of an average playground. The land has been decorated with flowers and pebble stones. The atmosphere of the court house is loud because the judge is always calling after pizoccca and she is always rushing about everywhere. My room is pretty simple I have a bed, a wardrobe a cabinet, a chess board and next door is the bathroom which we share with the three other guards. Objects that I always use is a bat/ thick pole to brush people away and handcuffs to make any arrests.  

 

 

 

 

.5.WHAT ARE THE GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES? 

(Past, present, future and all of the events) 

 Past: Before I was working for the judge I worked in a shop that would create glass stained windows for churches. I would start work at 8 o clock in the morning and would finish at 4,I got paid a good amount. After I finished I would go home to my wife and daughter. The dinner would already be made and after we put our daughter to bed me and Teresa would sit out in the garden and relax, then Teresa would water her plants and crops then we would both go to bed. But right now I am working for the judge, however I no longer go home now as i stay at the court house on weekdays and go home at 8:o clock on Fridays and start again at 7:30 on Mondays and the money i earn i send back home to my family. In the future I would like to get a promotion one step lower down from the judge, like someone who helps organize the cases for the judge.

 

 

 

6.  WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP? 

(Relation to total events, other characters, and to things 

in the first scene my character is getting annoyed with geron de la noci as he believes that he is fake limping. Relation to other characters isn't strong as he doesn't really talk to other characters, however the second guard is his cousin and the judge is basically his boss so he is very respectful to him, even though the judge is not respectful back as he calls the guards "brutes" My character is used to weapons as it is what he uses to protect him self and the guards. He is familiar to his uniform and hand cuffs.
 

 

 

 

7.  WHAT DO I WANT? 

(Character's need.  The immediate and main objective) 

My characters main need and objective is to serve and protect and look after him in times of need for example in the scene when the judge is drunk. He seems as if he wants to be noticed more and wants more power over the criminals/bad people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.  WHAT IS IN MY WAY? 

(The obstacles which prevent character from getting his/her need) 

Some of the criminals are in his way as they say that the guards treat them badly which then makes the judge gets angry which my character does not want as he wants the judge to notice him more however not for the wrong reasons. Other things which could prevent my character from getting what he wants is if he lets a prisoner get away or lets the judge get hurt because that then means he wasn't doing his job properly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.  WHAT DO I DO TO GET WHAT I WANT? 

(The action: physical and verbal, also-action verbs)
I defend my self and try not to handle the prisoners to roughly to make them complain so then the judge wont get angry at me.
