What does my character say about myself?
My character does not mention himself at all. Instead, everything that comes out of his mouth is a snide, rude sarcastic comment aimed at somebody else, mostly aimed at Ralph Clark. I think, looking into it deeply, this might show how insecure he is with himself; he wants to pass all attention on to someone else and point out all of their flaws rather than focusing on his own. Alternatively, I think it's more to do with the fact he is just a careless character: he doesn't care what others think about him and he doesn't care whether the things he says affects anyone else. I believe he gets a bit carried away with himself and his words, as he has to be reminded by a guard much higher than him in ranks to be quiet with his unhelpful comments.
What does my character say about others?
On page 19, my character implies that Ralph Clark - the man he has undeniable but unexplainable hate for - as a man who "suffers from greed and ambition." He's doesn't directly say it but makes it obvious by claiming 'unlike some' and staring at Ralph accusingly.
Further down on page 19, my character has another dig at Ralph by mocking his ideas of changing the nature of society if he was able to put the play on within the prison. He claims: "Second Lieutenant Clark Change Society!" in disbelief, as if the thought is a joke.
On page 20, my character further mocks Ralph but this time is shunned by the Captain. Collins mentions how there is a character in the play who was called Sergeant Kite: "The devious ways he used to serve his Captain..." Faddy announces that this would be a fitting part for Ralph, implying that Ralph and that character are similar in their ways.
Faddy also claims on page 24 that he does not trust Ralph Clark, which figures after all of the comments he repeatedly dropped regarding him just minutes earlier.
What do other people say about me?
I am mostly ignored in my scene and no one directly replies to my sarcastic comments except to tell me to be quiet. After one of my cheeky comments, Captain Collins orders me: "if you can't contribute anything useful to the discussion, keep quiet." Having been told by someone so much higher than me in terms of ranks, I do keep my comments to myself... for a couple of minutes at least. No one else says anything about me which I think highlights my irrelevance within the prison.
