Movie Case Study Essay
You will write a case study report that applies your theory to the protagonist in your movie of choice from a pre-determined list. You must consider environmental, legal and individual factors but focus on arguing why your theory of choice best explains why the protagonist has engaged in criminal behaviour.
Task Description:
-Provide a profile of the protagonist.
-Discuss their demographics (age, gender, socio-economic status, location), the characteristics of their offending behaviour and the history of their offending behaviour
-Outline your chosen theory.
-Explain the central principles of the theory (what does it try to explain?) and briefly examine the literature of the theory (refer to the articles in your annotated bibliography)
-Outline critiques of the theory
-Apply your theory to the protagonist.
-Examine and discuss how your selected theory explains the behaviour of the protagonist
-Provide examples to support your argument
-Highlight any deficiencies of the theory – what can it not explain?
-Your case study should have an introduction and a conclusion and follow one cohesive argument about how your theory explains the behaviour of the protagonist.
