Age representaion

Mis en scene:

• Shows each person getting ready, pointing out the differences in each age category
• Everyone is at a funeral and an old man complains about missing the football, showing that he thinks he has better things to do with his priorities than be at his wife's funeral.
• Everybody is sitting at the table, separated from each other, with the grumpy snooty old women at one end, the husband in the middle and the younger characters at the opposite end, indicating an obvious divide in age and attitudes
• The old women make everyone say grace, which is usually quite religious and traditional to say grace before every meal, so this would mean because they are older, they were taught how to do things differently when they were younger.
