Change

"".
             Changing self can also lead to many new possibilities and paths, bringing out the best and also the worst in a person. Personal change may not always be for the best and does not necessarily lead to a good out come. People believe that change of self will always be for the better. The idea of change of the better is challenged in the Gwen Harwood poem In the Park' and in Ridley Scott's film "Thelma and Louise-. "In the park- looks at the grim side of motherhood and the woman is presented as depressed and stuck in a domestic prison. This is supported by "She sits in the park. Her clothes are out of date-. When she briefly encounters her ex lover we have a glimpse of her previous life and see what she has come from, it further proves that self change is not always for the better. She is stuck looking after children that have "eaten me alive- in her words. It would appear that the woman never thought she would end up in the position that she finds herself. She tells her ex-lover Time holds great surprises."" Because the poem is a sonnet it helps in adding to the idea that the poem is supporting the idea that change can be for the worst. The situation is set up in the first 8 lines of this woman's sad life and then at the end we see that the resolution is still the same, she is still stuck in the sad life that she has.
             In "Thelma and Louise- we see the transformation of self through two women who become outlaws. The turning point of self change is when they kill man a while he is trying to rape one of the main protagonists, Thelma. We see the biggest change of self for the worst through Thelma who was once a subservant wife, nave and indecisive. After the murder she becomes a criminal on the run and her self esteem and confidence builds. She uses this new found courage to hold up a grocery store. She even says she has a "knack for this-. A way that the director has used to help in our understanding of the nature or change and its effects is to convey Thelma's character going from one extreme to another.
