I think that Leslie dying offstage adds the realism of Jess being really sad and it is really unexpected for the viewers that she was really going to die.
2) Who/What does the Dark Lord represent?
Leslie.
The Dark Lord represents one of the many characters Leslie made up. It gives Leslie a sense of excitement in life. It is like a goal for her to accomplish and that goal is that she has to avoid the Dark Lord like in the video games. The Dark Lord also represents the obsticles that Leslie have to face in her life.
Jess. I think that the Dark Lord represents his dad and the lack of love that he got. He did not get enough affection from his family and he felt alone and left out. He feels scared of the Dark Lord because he is scared of his dad. The Dark Lord also could represent Jess's fear of losing the only people that he loved and loved him back. So that fear haunts him and he did not want it to occur.
Myself. To me, the Dark Lord represents the feeling of no affection being given to me and I feel alone with no one to talk to. The Dark Lord is simply a mixed feeling of someone who is unsure of who loves him most and felt that his own family members do not really care about him and feel that only some people which are not even his flesh and blood are the one who understands and loves him best.
3) Do you prefer the movie or the book? Explain. I prefer the movie rather than the book. The movie lets me imagine more and really understand how the characters felt by their actions and their facial expressions. The movie also allow me to picture how the characters look like rather than the description given by the book. The movie is also more interesting than the novel as watching is far more easier than reading.
