4. What is Clyde’s self-perception about what he does?
Clyde’s self perception is protective as well as quite commanding about what he does. He finds it a work full of pleasures and also, he views it as a part of his duty rather than a crime.
5. Throughout the film there are many photographs of the characters. How does this establish the theme of public image vs private image?
The photographs clearly distinguish the public images from private images. While Bonnie has some sweet personal memories that she prefers to keep with her, Clyde has an open nature and on his part, he keeps the pictures for public viewing. There is a veiled mask type image that Clyde sometimes reflects before the viewers.
6. Discuss the escalating violence between the first robbery, the grocer, the bank.
