Misfits Character Analysis Continued...

Simon

Simon is a unique character in the first scene, as he has no dialogue; this implies that he is the quiet, nervous member of the group. He also has very closed body language, as he has the same blank facial expression, and often stands with his hands in his pockets, keeping to himself. In the first scene, Simon is shown looking at his phone; this is a classic sign of awkwardness, and could hint to the audience that he spends a lot of time using his phone. He also makes sure that his hair looks presentable, which means that he cares about his appearance.
  He doesn't interact with any of the other characters; this is shown when Nathan says 'You alright there weird kid' and he doesn't answer. This could mean that he has a lack of social skills, and is constantly on edge. He stands at the edge of the group as well, which means that he wants to separate himself from the group, and wants to avoid and kind of social interaction.
  Simon wears his jumpsuit fully buttoned up with flat collar; this could mean that he likes to look smart. It could also mean that he doesn't want to rebel against his community service, or separate himself from it.

Curtis      

Curtis is shown in the first scene as the dominant alpha male figure; this is addressed as we see that he is in peak physical condition, and likes to take care of his health. This makes him think that he is better than everyone else in the group, so he has a laid back attitude to community service. When the probation worker is talking to them, he says things like 'I shouldn't be here man' and 'Can I move to a different group? This isn't going to work for me'; this asserts that he thinks he's better than everyone else.
  Curtis also has a tribal tattoo on his left shoulder, which shows that he thinks himself as a bit of a hard man, and asserts his dominance among the group.
  Curtis wears his jumpsuit tied around his waist, while wearing a vest. This could mean that he likes to show off his muscles and impress the girls. He also wears a cross necklace, which could mean he is a religious man with morals and who has a lot of faith.
  Curtis also wants to gain friends among the group; this is shown when Nathan makes fun of Kelly's accent, and Curtis joins in saying 'Is that for real?'. This shows that even though he doesn't want to be there, he fells that it wouldn't hurt to try and make friends during his community service.


Kelly

Kelly is first shown in the scene brushing here hair. This immediately shows that she cares a lot about here appearance, and doesn't want to look stupid in front of the other members of the group. Her appearance alone describes her as being a stereotypical chav; She has her hair brushed flat in a ponytail, she wears 'gold' chains and big hooped ear rings, and her accent is very thick. Her presence as a stereotypical chav tells the audience that she is aggressive, swears a lot and is generally not a good person to get on the wrong side of; this is shown when after Curtis puts her down, she says 'What makes you think you're better than us?', showing that she won't take insults from anyone.
  Kelly has a laid back attitude to her community service. This is shown as she is literally laying back on the fence post when the probation worker is talking to the group.
  Kelly wears her jumpsuit with an open collar, to show off her gold chains. This asserts her appearance as a stereotypical chav.


Alisha

Alisha is first depicted in the first scene as the attractive female of the group. She obviously cares a lot about her appearance, and she likes to show off in front of the boys; when they are changing into their jumpsuits, Alisha leaves her top undone, so that the boys can admire her breasts; this could mean that she is a bit slutty, or that she is proud of her appearance.
  She is shown looking into the mirror for most of the first scene which enforces that she likes to look good, or that she is in love with herself.
  Alisha wears her jumpsuit with her sleeves and cuffs rolled up; this also enforces the fact that she likes to look good, and that also suggests that she wants to separate herself from the idea of community service.
  When the probation worker is talking to the group, she is mostly on her phone, which means that she doesn't care at all about her community service, and would rather be doing something else.
  She smiles at Nathan's comments, and laughs at the fight between him and Gary. This shows that she wants to be cool among the group, and also wants to make some friends.
