20/6/2011 - Character Analysis - Lily Rhodes


Charlotte Moore is playing the part of Lilith Rhodes, a 24 year old waitress in a London restaurant. Throughout the film she is referred to as both Lily and Lils by her fiancé James Lane - recently her long term boyfriend for 6 years. Now engaged, she leads a normal life working nine to five and earning minimum wage. The party she attends before the film starts is her own 'Hen Party' to celebrate her last few weeks before marriage. Lily is an amazingly strong spirited character and is the most positive of her group of friends, she is rarely upset and never lets things get to her. Unfortunately, her confidence is what gets her into the forthcoming situation, as she chooses to walk home alone and not get a taxi with the rest of her friends. She takes a shortcut through a tunnel near the edge of the woods and this is where everything changes for her. After the assault, her character completely changes. She is quiet, unresponsive and unable to look the love of her life in the eyes. We see this drastic change in Charlotte's performance as Lily.
