                                                           CHARACTERS
      In order to cast the character of Shaun, Shane
      Meadows held many auditions with children in
      inner city workshops all over the country but
      particularly
      Grimsby.

      It was at The Space Project, that they found the
      quality they had been searching for.

      Why is it important to have cast the right sort of
      person?



      What importance does the character of Shaun have?




      Revisit

      Interview

    MEADOWS AND MASCULINITY
     Through the character of Shaun we see a number of factors come together that form part of his
     identity at that particular time, such as his relationship to his father, his relationship to the
     various members of the gang and how this manifests itself in terms of a sense of confidence
     and control over his life.




     KEY QUESTION

     How much do you think the ways these issues are represented are gender specific?

                     Questions


      How do we feel about Shaun in the opening sequence?


      What motivates Shaun?


      How does Shaun change over the course of the narrative (there may be
      more than one change)?

      Do you think that Shaun can be described as racist? or can you see his
      motivation in a different way?
