Let Me In shares similar ideas and notions to St Patrick’s College poems in that it explores the concept of not belonging.
In Skrzynecki’s famous poem, St Patrick’s College, when Peter said “caught the 414 bus like a foreign tourist”, this emphasises his sense of alienation and displacement. The word ‘foreign’ also hints at his being unable to share any thoughts or feeling of not belonging with peers or having no common link with those around him. Similarly, to the movie Let Me In also explores this notion through the character Abby who reveals through her life how she feels towards not belonging because Because she is a vampire, she cannot converse or share the same information with people around her. This shows alienation and displacement that not only Abby feels, but that Peter feels too with people and in their surroundings. When Abby said to Owen “just so you know, i can’t be your friend”. some latent kindness causes her to feel protective toward the lonely and abused child. Abby said that to Owen because she vampire she cannot converse or share that with people around her. That is show the alienation and displacement that Abby feels with people and place around her. She’s also afraid that people will not accept her as well as that she is out of control in sunlight because in slight the sun causes here skin to crack and boil that time she will frighten people without knowing herself. This creates for the audience a sense of not belonging and the idea that belonging is
about feeling sad, isolation and unsecure with the place you live in and the persons and things you surround yourself with.
