Educating Rita, Act 1, scene 1 - FRANK

How would you describe Frank, class-wise and otherwise?
Find as many quotations of his language that show him as distinctly that.
What is his physical appearance like? How does he dress etc.
Why do you think Frank asks Rita to find another tutor?

    4. Why do you think Frank asks Rita to find another tutor?

    1. Frank is an old man, who has been married to his wife for many years. We would describe Frank is a very smart man. He needs the money from touting and goes to pub. Frank is middle-class man.
    2. He hides a whisky in a book. He hasn’t noticed that the painting was erotic.
    3. He is not very well dressed. His hair needs a haircut, because Rita wants to bring scissors next time she will be coming because he looks like a hippie.
    4. Because he is an insecure alcoholic who thinks he is a better teacher when he drinks.

    Gruppe 2: Lotte, Dmitri, Sheijla og Simone

  5. ACT 1

    Group 7: Jamal, Karina, Mikkel og Teresa

    Scene 1:

    Frank:
    He is a university lecture and is talking to his wife when Rita enters.

    He is from the middle class. He is taking this course, because he needs the money. He wants Rita to find another teacher: he is not taking the job seriously enough. He only teach well when he drinks. He drinks a lot and need money to buy alcohol. He drinks and smokes. He talks condescending to his wife.

    Rita:
    She is a student of the Open University: It is for adults with a daytime job. She is flirting with Frank. They talk, he wants her to go to another tutor, but she will not do so.

    She is a hairdresser, so she is from the working class. She swears and talks a very clear and directly language. She is flirting with Frank. She is exuberant. She is straightforward and is not shy. She likes to be different and is sexual attractive. She is a rebelling and make joke about death. Rita will not take a no for an answer. She is stubborn. She is an egoist and has ambitions.

  7. Group 1

    Frank
    He is from the upper middel class. Because of the language he uses.

    P.1 L. 34 incinerate. Why not use the term 'set on fire'?
    P.2 L.20 pardon. Why not say 'excuse me'?
    P.3 L.18 comprehensive. Why not use the word widespread?

    He looks a bit messy. His hair is untidy and a bit too long.
    He wears a blazer with leather patches on the elbows.

    He asks Rita to go to another tutor because he doesn't realy want to teach her. He would rather go too the pub and drink.
