The Character Analysis

The story's main character is a young, thin, beautiful woman. She has a gothic outlook which strengths the gothic theme of the story. The costume and the make up proove the theme in a way. The woman's background is a mystery, an unknown story. No name.. No age.. No life info... This mystery on this woman brings the story to a more complicated point that the audience focus on the morecoming parts in a full attention. The woman doesn't know how she reached that harbour and she keeps walkin unconsciously in pain, looking for her scary end. The audience joins the woman, waiting this end in an unconscious curiosity. The woman somehow was attacked by unknown and her corpse was thrown at that harbour but she keeps walkin uncounsciously as a spirit just before she meets her dead body. The bleakness, gothic and the worry of unconsciousness of the character; are the strong elements, feeding the story.
