Analysing Quentin

Character profile:
"Claudia has an imaginary boyfriend, Quentin, who is long suffering and a constant disappointment to her. They don’t live together but he visits regularly and they talk on the telephone if he can’t get in to see her. As he is part of her imagination his appearance changes to suit her mood. Sometimes he will be a David Beckham looking guy, whilst in another scene he will appear as a Pete Docherty type, Daniel Craig type or a Hollyoaks Babe. If she is having a bad day he will morph into an uncouth couch potato chav with all that brings with it.
He is as into the horror film genre as she and into role-playing to suit her whims and moods.
Claudia has a paranoid suspicion that he is constantly having affairs behind her back and keeps him firmly under her thumb, sometimes restraining him or keeping him prisoner in one of the rooms."


The word I chose for Quentin was "Glass prison" as I associated it with Quentin being a prisoner of Claudia's imagination. Claudia is in complete control of Quentin, despite her not always realising this and he doesn't get a say in anything she wants him to do as after all, all he is, is a figment of her imagination. The prison is class because when Claudia is happy they appear to be a happy couple with a lot in common, he can see out of the prison so doesn't realise he is really trapped there.
