Blood Brothers Essay Does Willy Russell want the audience to blame Mrs. Johnstone in the scene where she agrees to give up one of his children? What dramatic and linguistic techniques does Willy Russell use to influence the audience's emotions? Blood Brothers is a 1970s musical setting. Mrs. Johnstone has 7 children and is expecting twins, but she cannot afford to care for both of them and is pressured to give one to Mrs. Lyons. They swear on the Bible, but at first Mrs. Johnstone is a little hesitant because she doesn't really want to give one away. We will look at the evidence and see who is to blame for Mrs. Johnstone giving away one of her babies. The first person I'm going to blame for this is Mrs. Johnstone because she shouldn't have risked having more children if she only knew she would. “making do with one more mouth to feed. » Besides, she should have known that twins were possible and if she didn't take the risk, she wouldn't have had to give up any of her children. The second person I'm going to blame is the gynecologist (narrator) because I think he knew this was the case. I was going to have twins because all of a sudden he gave up the milk run and became a doctor. Also, I didn't think he wasn't a good doctor because he uses slang like "let's listen to the baby's ticker" when as a good doctor he probably would have said "let's listen to the baby's ticker." baby’s heart, let’s go.” Third, I'm going to blame Mr. Johnstone because if he hadn't left Mrs. Johnstone, she probably could have "made do" with one more mouth to feed. This way she wouldn't have had to give one of her babies to Mrs. Lyons. Fourth, I am going to blame the government for never helping her with benefits when she needed them. If the government gave her money, she wouldn't say "if I'm careful, I can just scratch".
