Firstly‚ she witnessed what seemed to her as sexual apprehension between her sister‚ Cecilia‚ and Robbie at a water fountain outside her window. After seeing her sister stripped down to her underwear‚ she misunderstood this as aggression on Robbie’s part. As a natural human being‚ one feels

McAlister Narrative POV Seminar 2 March 2004 Atonement and the Failure of the General Point of View Atonement’s chief narrative feature is McEwan’s use of an embedded author—Briony Tallis—whose text is nearly coterminous with the novel itself. This technique is of course not a new one: Sterne’s Sentimental Journey and MacKenzie’s Man of Feeling are both framed as the written accounts of their protagonists. McEwan’s trick in Atonement‚ though‚ is presumably that we are to be ignorant of

In the 2007 film Atonement‚ director Joe Wright uses characterisation and explicit symbolism to explore the themes of truism and misconception. He uses this to comment on how the abuse of power is carried out by people who are seemingly civilised. Wright used both non-diegetic and diegetic sounds to draw comparisons between the seeming civility and the actions of Briony and Paul Marshall. Various mis-en-scène elements‚ such as the characters’ appearances and speaking style‚ are effectively used to
