The Inbetweeners (series 3,
episode 1- The fashion show) is based around four characters and they all play
a certain roll, which contextualizes as a family. I will be analyzing each
character and explaining my own interpretations about each character.
The main character
"Will" that thinks he’s above from everyone because he attended a
private high school plays the matriarch of the group, he's the one who always
tries to take control of situations and has many moral beliefs. If will is in
anyway challenged about his moral beliefs he tends to stick by his one friend
in order to remain in power.
"Simon" plays the
part of a patriarch, so he's like the dominant male that again tries to act
responsible but is easily persuaded by others to make irresponsible choices but
agrees with the matriarch to over right others.
“Jay” plays an
irresponsible character, which feels as though he has to lie to his friends in
order to build up an image as being the "experienced" one. To
elaborate further he lies to his friends in order to make them believe he has
this other side to him which makes him look cooler, however his friends see
past it all and questions him about it leaving him thinking they believe in his
lies, when in actual fact they don't.
“Neil” is a character who seems
rather absent most of the time but in actual fact does seem to be confident and
experienced in social situations but doesn’t seem to talk about it very much
with his friends. When it comes to doing something irresponsible he doesn’t
question it he goes a long with his friends even though he knows the
consequences he’ll face later on. He has a confidence when talking to girls but
again is quite conservative when talking about it with his friends, however now
and again he does mention his past experiences.
In the Inbetweeners comedy
sitcom they usually is an instigator that tries to convince everyone in
thinking it is a good idea to do something they shouldn’t. The storyline then
develops further more into having something bad happen which gets the group
into trouble, and then moves on to having the issue being resolved which makes
the sitcom a closed storyline.
The first plot point was
they first found out that “Will” got the job of collecting the money which
helped raise money for the fashion show, even though he was totally against it.
He pretty much had no choice as his headmaster was putting him in charger of
the money whether he liked it or not.
The second plot point was
when “Simon” went on the runway with his private parts sticking out without him
realizing, which resulted in him and his crush Carly being humiliated in front
of the whole of the school and parents of the students who were involved with
the fund raiser.
After the second plot point
the issue was resolved and ended with the main characters concluding what had
happened during the episode which was narrated by “Will” and using flashbacks
of the events the day they went through.
