My extract takes place at 1:30:32. So far, the audience has come to see Marion be killed in the shower by Norman Bates, a, well, psycho, and subsequently having an inspector then Marion's sister Lila and boyfriend Sam investigate what happened to the previous person. In the extract itself, Lila sneaks into Norman's house while Sam distracts him with small talk in the lobby of the motel. The intensity increases, and suddenly Norman ca't take it anymore, these insults to his mother, and hits Sam in the head, running after Lila. Lila is exploring the house during these events, first examining the mothers room and its intricacies, and then later looking at Norman's room and its simplicity. As Norman enter she house, she goes down into the cellar, unknowing of the truth. My extract ends with her seeing the mummified remains of the mother and her screaming horridly as Norman descends on her. The characters and issues are represented in my extract through Norman's fight with Sam, well as Lila's meeting with the corpse. The issues here are that Norman is now for sure having some kind of identity crisis over his mother, becoming overtly suspicious when he becomes offended by Sam's every remark. Another issues is what Lila finds in general. Firstly, she finds a bed with a deep imprint, meaning someone has slept there very recently (throwing off the viewer). Secondly, Lila is in Normans room and it appears as a kids room despite the fact Norman is a grown man. This mystery and suspense culminates as we reach the final issues, the fruit cellar, where Norman's mother turns out be be nothing but a taxedermised corpse. And the Norman appears in drag.
