Quote	Technique	Analysis
“You’re quite capable of choosing a place to live without my help”	Mirroring	This quote mirrors Helga- when she says the same thing to Eva.
(Evelyn continues to polish)	Stage direction	The polishing could be a metaphor- constantly cleaning to wash away her bad past, or to clear her guilty consciousness.
“Are you intending to change your mind again”		Evelyn is completely ignoring her daughter’s feelings- portrayal of selfish act.
“You’ve made a mess haven’t you?”	Ambiguity	Possibly ambiguous- literally –messy room , or not literal- bought up the past and made things messy.
“Choose something else”		Doesn’t want to read the ratcatcher because it brings back memories for her- hides suffering for the sake of her daughter.
“3362, Sir”	Short	Dehumanised- seen as a number or code rather than a human being.
“Did it belong to the little Jewish girl you had staying with you during the war?”	Secrets	Faith doesn’t realise that the little Jewish girl was her mum- doesn’t realise she was part of the Kindertransport.
“I’ll bloody kill you first!”	Language	Lil defending Eva- shows how much Faith has upset her mother but also how Lil still sees her daughter as her little girl.
