Question 8

Comment on the humour in the first encounter between Bluntschil and Raina.

OBSERVATION

Instances of humour are bound in this scene which includes the following points:

  1. Bluntschil’s act of escaping from the war front into Raina’s room for safety
  2. His reaction to the announcement that soldiers have come into the house in search for him.
  3. The fact that Bluntschil falls asleep in the home of his enemies.
  4. His confession that his pistol is loaded with chocolate instead of cartridges.
  5. Bluntschil’s discussion of Sergius foolhardiness in the battle front, not knowing that Sergius is Raina’s fiancé, and Raina’s reaction to Bluntschil’s story about Sergius.

Candidates’ performance was fair.
