Assessment of the Character Elizabeth from the Movie Dont Say a Word In this paper, we will provide an assessment of the character Elizabeth from the movie DonÂ’t Say a Word. Though Elizabeth is a fictional character, much can be learned from trying to understand who she is, and what her illness is. Because this is a work of fiction and is a film, we can gain insight into who Elizabeth is from an interesting point of view. This point of view is literary, and from a fly on the wall perspective. The significance of this is that when we as consolers try to understand who a patient is and what it is that disturbs the patient, we may be inadvertently alerting how the patient responds. It is the classic case of the observer affecting the observed object. We can not avoid this. But, in this case, were we are analyzing a fictional character in a film, the observer is not affecting the observed object, because the observed object is fixed in time and actuality.
