Male Character

Our male character as has been named 'Daniel, as it is a common male name which is easily identified as a male character. The use of the dramatic irony creates tension for the audience. The fact that Daniel thinks he is in control of the situation and is trying to gain Anna, his wife's life back through memories, whilst blanking out his past so that she wouldn't remember. Whilst all along Anna has not really lost her memory and is total control of the situation and wants to see what Daniel is really like. The audience are aware of this but Daniel is not.
This is a subversion of the stereotype as usually the male character would be dominant and have control and power over the situation and over the female, but Anna has this power in The Recollection.
